It is very odd how early January is historically a time of some political importance. A number of important political events have happened in the first two weeks if January. Whether it is the period immediately after polticians have made their new year resolutions and they start to act on them I have no idea. Here is a selection:
1977 Jenkins quits Commons for EU
1986 Heseltine quits over Westland
1957 Anthony Eden resigns
1979 Callaghan says there is no chaos
1957 McMillan becomes PM
1971 British Minister's home bombed
1984 Tony Benn starts back to Commons
2006 Kennedy resigns
