Former Labour prime minister Lord James (Jim) Callaghan has died at the age of 92. He was prime minister between 1976 and 1979. The successor to Harold Wilson lost a General Election to Margaret Thatcher after turbulent political times.
Lord Callaghan is the only politician in UK history to have held all four major offices of state; prime minister, chancellor, foreign secretary and home secretary. His death came just 11 days after his wife Audrey passed away at the age of 91.
I read some stuff about him a few years ago that said he always thought of the common man on everything he did... And did what he believed was the right thing...
