"William Gladstone was a supporter of free trade which expanded British markets."

Brief justification: Gladstone was a leading Liberal (not a Conservative), noted for fiscal retrenchment and strong support of free trade and low tariffs, which helped expand British commerce. He had a famous rivalry with Disraeli and was not primarily a partisan champion of working‑class relief.
