Both #GordonBrown and #JimCallaghan simply ran out of time, which happens sometimes.

if when Labour first had all women shortlists in1988 the JimCallaghan a womans place is in the kitchen brigade said we’re women Harriet Harman an Taylor Or the female LabourMPs who won safe seats in the next decade had never won those seats well thats what Bragg & squealer going on about trans want

#GordonBrown got plunged into a #GlobalFinancialCrisis, #TonyBlair as PM never had to face anything like that, before that things had actually been going quite well, #JimCallaghan had problems with the #energycrisis of the 1970s, #NorthSeaOil and #NorthSeaGas were just starting to flow.

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!

Though both #HaroldWilson and #JimCallaghan both consistently led #MargaretThatcher in polls.
