Someone on radio saying new PMs tend to appoint their owb #ChancelloroftheExchequer, however only 2 #LabourPM's have followed on from another, #JimCallaghan kept #DenisHealey as Chancellor of the Exchequer and #GordonBrown had been in the role and so inevitably appointed another!
😊 Another gem from James Callaghan's post-prime ministership.
🗣 This from 1991, reflecting on his first ministerial job back in 1947.

I’ve lived through 3 #Labour governments. #HaroldWilson ended up begging the IMF for a giant loan. #JimCallaghan left in a series of strikes with rubbish 10 ft deep on the streets. #GordonBrown bankrupted us. #Starmer will also leave in chaos. #NeverLabour
@BBCNews @UKLabour @Conservatives PMs knew; did nothing as people died. Utterly disgusting + spiteful. #HaroldWilson; #JimCallaghan #Thatcher; @JohnMajor @InstituteGC @TonyBlairEU @GordonBrown @David_Cameron @theresa_may @BorisJohnson @trussliz @RishiSunak Karma’s a bitch..hope it bites.

Found an old autograph I had from Jim Callaghan back in 1985. I spotted him in a motorway restaurant/cafe when I was going to London to support the Goodwick newspaper delivery boys who were playing football in Wembley.#jimcallaghan
Watching #micklynch being interviewed the deja vu is palpable. Like a time warp from the '70's with Gormley, Scargill, Buckton, Weighell. Trust me you don't want to return to those days. Whatever it takes defeat them. #BeerAndSandwiches #HaroldWilson #JimCallaghan
If #Boris was following #Thatcher, #JimCallaghan etc, I could get the outrage
But after #Blair (#Iraq, numerous other crimes), #TheresaMay (subverting #Brexit), #Sturgeon (virtually everything she does), and a few others, #Partygate is pitifully small
Context matters
#petrolshortage Anyone remember #JimCallaghan arriving back in the UK 1979?? saying, 'crisis, what #crisis?' Well #BoJo its now your turn

From the archives: Ryan Fleming explores a critical moment of British #PoliticalHistory in this article about the 1979 #NoConfidenceVote that toppled the #Labour government of #JimCallaghan and opened the doors to #MargaretThatcher. #UKPolitics #UKHistory https://t.co/5jdeVqXmWq
@0_politics2 The Soviets suffered under #Stalin and the #UK suffered under #HaroldWilson, #JimCallaghan et al. Thankfully we have a new #Conservative #Government at #Westminster for the next 5 years or more. Onwards and upwards.

@bobhaigh13 @abcpoppins @Jorvik4 @h1llbillies @wildkippers @SKinnock Are you serious. What happened to the economy at the end of #GordonBrown's government, look at where we ended up after #JimCallaghan. Pull the other leg it's got bells. If #Labour supported our economy, they would not be a #Brexit party.
March 1979. #JimCallaghan lost by 1 vote:
"Now that the House of Commons has declared itself, we shall take our case to the country"
March 2019. @theresa_may lost by 58 votes:
"I'll carry on pushing for my deal having lost for a third time"
The #AnyQuestions panel debates nature versus nurture, how they influence outcomes & the disproportionate advantages of going to #Eton. Sounds familiar? It's a clip from 1962 with #LordBoothby & #JimCallaghan as #bbcaq looks back on 70 years. Plus ça change! #bbcpick
Dennis Skinner: "I want to nationalise something every week! - wouldn't it be wonderful?"
#Blair and #Brown tried to get ride of the Labour debt, they failed. #HaroldWilson failed, #JimCallaghan failed -
Then along comes... https://t.co/tRdk2hxetR
Here's the draw for Round 3 of #JimCallaghan Cup. Waterloo FC/Ossett Dynamos Vs @DurkarFC. @AthleticSnydal1 Res Vs @wetfc. Thorn Tree United Vs Red Lion Alverthorpe. Royston Cross/Halton Moor Vs @croftonsports. @NostellMW3rds Vs Beechwood Santos. FC Thornes Vs @Crackenedge_FC
@paddycosgrave That will never happen. He has Leo and #FineGael by the short and curlies. He knows where the bodies are buried. #FiannaFáil too via #JimCallaghan (on the vast O'Brien legal payroll). Game, set and match.
Dog at the game! Referee #JimCallaghan at Parkhead for League International between #Scotland v #Eire #TheScottishFootballBook No 17 1971
