Callaghan to quit?
NZPA-Reuter London Close colleagues believe that the British Labour Party leader, Jim Callaghan, is planning to quit politics and hand over his safe Welsh seat to the former Education Minister. Shirley Williams, according to a Sunday newspaper report. Mr Callaghan was
“shocked" when Mrs Williams lost her seat of Hertford and Stevenage in the General Election last month, said the “News Of The World.”
“Party workers in the 67-year-old former Prime Minister’s Cardiff South-East constituency think he may go in about 18 months, though many Labour M.P.s think it could be sooner."
