| | British Prime Ministers: Wilson, Harold (1916-1995) |
| | Wilson was first elected to the House of Commons in 1945 and was appointed president of the Board of Trade in 1947, becoming, at age 31, Britain's youngest cabinet minister since William Pitt the Younger in 1792. | | | In 1965 Wilson was unable to avert an illegal declaration of independence by the white minority government of the British colony of Rhodesia, and his subsequent efforts to topple the rebel government by the use of economic sanctions rather than by military force failed. | | | This failed, but after Gaitskell died in 1963, Wilson was elected leader of the Labour Party. |

| | But Gaitskell was as stubborn as Wilson was flexible and, though no natural supporter of Nye Bevan, Wilson followed Bevan's resignation a day later, along with another minister, John Freeman. | | | Increasingly Wilson seemed to be grooming himself for a senior role in the the Labour leadership. | | | By October he was in the Cabinet as president of the board of trade - at 31 one of the youngest cabinet ministers of all time - succeeding Sir Stafford Cripps who became the government's economic overlord. |

| | It follows that if prime minister Blair proceeds slower even than Wilson, if his ambitions are even more circumscribed than Wilson’s were, his downfall will be even more sudden, and even more calamitous. | | | The death of Harold Wilson last month has been followed by a wave of nostalgia about the Labour governments he led. | | | Race had played a big part in the election in the Midlands especially at Smethwick where the Tory campaign was supported with the slogan, ‘If you want a nigger for a neighbour, vote Labour.&; As a result, Labour trimmed its original opposition to Commonwealth immigration controls, and adopted a fudged compromise. |

| | Wilson, supported by Crossman, had taken Bevan& place on the Shadow Cabinet in 1954, when the latter had resigned on a principle held by both of them. | | | By the time Wilson became Prime Minister in October 1964 he had contrived to unite the Labour Party and its affiliates as it had never been united since 1945. | | | Yet throughout the entire period of disillusionment and near-despair, there was one threat which never failed to ensure the loyalty of the Labour Left: a threat to the personal leadership of Harold Wilson. |
