Harold Wilson

1964-1970

I understand how Babara castle was put into the role of trying to keep the trade unions under control. I also understand how edward Heath beat Harold Wilson in the 1970 general election and becaime prime minister. I understand how Wilson used the method of putting James Callaghan and George brown against eachother to see who was strong enough to sort out the economy. Even though this led tothe Labour Party splitting it does reveal how he wasnt affraid to take risks even in his cabinet.


I do mostly understand the aspects which were taken place during his time as a Pm and premiership.

I am not to sure on the economy in how the value of the pound is constantly varied. I am also slightly unsure about how wilson tried to make things better and make the economy better like devaluating the pound and changing its values.
