	James Callaghan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Callaghan was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1964 to 1967 during a turbulent period in the British economy in which he had to wrestle with a balance of payments deficit and speculative attacks on the pound sterling.
		Callaghan returned to office as Foreign Secretary in March 1974, taking responsibility for renegotiating the terms of Britain's membership of the Common Market, and supporting a "Yes" vote in the 1975 referendum for the UK to remain in the EEC.
		Callaghan's support for and from the union movement should not be mistaken for a left wing position: unlike Wilson Callaghan had been a supporter of Hugh Gaitskell in the battles over labour's direction in the 1950s and he settled old scores by sacking the Bevanite Barbara Castle when he became party leader.

		Jim Callaghan first said that he did not take part in blood rituals and was not going to vote for what was, after all, a Speaker's motion when he was Home Secretary.
		Jim Callaghan cared desperately about the House of Commons and other things that are important to me, because for him the Labour party was the fount of many of his commitments not only to moral political views but to changing the role and quality of life of those whom he felt he represented.
		Jim Callaghan worked closely with my family, and he and my father had some good old rows, but he did something that is, perhaps, underestimated: he kept together a very large political party that always represented many strands of the people of the United Kingdom.

		Callaghan returned to the Treasury - slightly sadly perhaps, as his deepest interest was always in foreign affairs - and again was soon engulfed in a crisis that led to devaluation in October 1967.
		But Callaghan was never a man for permissive societies: his background in working-class Portsmouth, his bent for the practical rather than the philosophical, and a sense of nonconformist morality which persisted when his churchgoing days were over, marked him down as conservative rather than as progressive.
		Callaghan, the old union hand, was opposed to the use of new laws to shackle unions.

	Oliver Kamm: James Callaghan
		The passage of time since Jim Callaghan’s departure from Downing Street predictably encouraged obituarists to exploit the man’s memory in order to advance by insinuation their current political preoccupations.
		A point that I did not see raised in the obituaries was that Callaghan, while being a model of loyalty to his party successors compared with the comparable relationships in the Conservative Party, was prepared to voice his opposition to Labour’s unilateralist disarmament policies in the 1980s.
		Predictably, Callaghan was castigated by more frenetic members of the Labour Party (‘Guilty Men’ ran the headline in the post-election issue of Tribune) but he was talking sense.

		Jim Callaghan, the Labour Prime Minister defeated by Thatcher in 1979 and, amazingly the oldest living former British PM in history, has died at 92.
		Callaghan more than any other minister in Harold Wilson’s governments of the 1960s went out of his way to block the attempts Wilson and Barbara Castle were making to curb abuses of trade union power.
		Callaghan’s petty vindictiveness in pursuit of that cause even extended to sacking Barbara Castle from ministerial office when he took over from Harold Wilson as prime minister in 1976.
