James Callaghan

In 1976 Wilson retired and Callaghan took over his role as Prime Minister despite the fact that Wilson had managed to win both of the elections in 1974 (The February and October elections). Wilson’s government managed to win the 1964 election after 13 years of the opposition being

However, the economic situation improved markedly from this low point when Roy Jenkins replaced Callaghan as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Jenkins raised taxes and tightened up government spending in all areas of the economy, giving top priority to improving the balance of payments. These tough measures made the Labour government very unpopular but

The amazing thing about the funeral of Baroness Thatcher was the size of the crowds, and the next amazing thing was that they were so relatively well behaved. The BBC had done its best to foment an uprising. With habitual good taste, they played Ding Dong the witch is dead on taxpayer-public radio. Asked to find some commentators to give an instant reaction to the death of Britain’s greatest post-war prime minister – an event that was not exactly unforeseen –they reached instinctively for Gerry Adams

These two political parties have always been rivals. The labour party are more for helping the poor and making everyone equal, whereas the conservatives are take a much more right wing approach to things and always have the rich peoples life’s at heart. The Tories have always disagreed with labour and what they stand for. They hardly ever agree on policies or how the county should be run. This is shown through the characters of Lionel and Gerald in the play. It’s treated with a comedy aspect and

Source A could be considered to have great value to a historian studying the impact of Margaret Thatcher’s Social and Economic policies, as it comes from a speech that Margaret Thatcher made herself 5 years into her premiership. This lends the source some value, as it comes from Thatcher’s own point of view, and therefore could be considered to be very valuable to a historian studying the impact of Thatcher’s policies as no one would know more about how she arrived at her decisions and what her intentions

stole the items, and he confesses so she takes him home.  Alfred sees his mother's pain, and causes him to think some and mature.  He acts more grown up afterwards, and there is no iron y in the resolution of this story.  Callaghan achieves his purpose of showing that situations that require acting grown-up can cause you to mature in your thinking.             In both stories, the main characters are significantly changed

In “The Voyage Out” by Morley Callaghan, he is making a critique of the way men use the male gaze, and how it makes women feel. Jeff who is in a state of excitement is trying to figure out his identity and what the male gaze does for him; the male gaze affects Jeff’s life through Jessie, the girl in the green hat, and Eva and how his looking upon them makes them feel. Jessie affects Jeff in a way that captivates him and makes him excited. Our first description of Jessie is, “[Jeff] discovered she

She could hear the water running in the bathroom and figured that her boyfriend, James, was just taking his usual night shower. She went into the kitchen to get a quick drink of water. As she drank the cool liquid she felt an immense feeling of relief. She advanced toward the bathroom. She walked down the hallway heading towards the

There the 4 of us were sitting in New York at a bar when an army recruit comes over to us and says “Do you want to make your country a better place?”.Then he says “Join the army right now all I need is your name and home address. Jack and Fred said they had wanted to sign up since kids but were scared. So we all signed the paper and gave him what he needed. We all went home in the city as normal working men that got drunk most nights out the week. After two days of signing up to join the army we

March 22, 2006, should have been a regular Wednesday for me. Me being in first grade, a regular Wednesday was to wake up at 8 a.m. to my father turning on my lights, and spiritedly but annoyingly singing, “Wake up, wake up!” Wincing at the light and my father's terrible voice, I was always able to wake up in order to shut him up.
