Any other PM-related Cardiff things that I've missed?!

[Prime Time: Prime Ministers podcast @primetime_cast]

Just did a long run around Cardiff🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿and wanted to show you the PM-related things I passed along the way (whilst in great pain...)

[Prime Time: Prime Ministers podcast @primetime_cast]

James Callaghan is the only person to have held all 4 Great Offices of State. PM during difficult economic times (1976-79), his was the most recent government brought down by a vote of no confidence. Not a Welshman, but he represented Cardiff South in Parliament for 42 years!

In Part 3, Lord North faces the fight of his life: the #AmericanRevolution

Holding on to a global empire many miles away with an angry George III breathing down his neck proves impossible, and North's response to rebellion goes from weak to confused to farcical.

Politicians have some unexpected duties...

Within hours of tearing lumps out of each other at #PMQs, the #PrimeMinister and Leader of the Opposition (and both Speakers!) made a 60-mile dash to Kent to attend the installation of Sarah Mullaly as the 106th #ArchbishopOfCanterbury
