Canteen Discussion
Home Secretary James Callaghan holds court in a Gateshead factory canteen.
Overview
Workers in a Gateshead factory canteen quiz James Callaghan MP over a cuppa in this Labour Party broadcast. His informal style lapses into spells of finger-wagging rhetoric in response to certain questions, which cover the cost of living, the Common Market (now the EU), wildcat strikes and poor housing conditions.
