Harold Wilson conspiracy theories
Since the mid-1970s, a variety of conspiracy theories have emerged regarding British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1976, winning four general elections. These range from Wilson having been a Soviet agent (a claim which MI5 investigated and found to be false), to Wilson being the victim of treasonous plots by conservative-leaning elements in MI5, claims which Wilson himself made.
Albert Wilson (politician)
In January 1906, Wilson was sent to the eastern states for three months to conduct an investigation into the timber industry, compiling a report for the state government. His recommendations were perceived as favouring the interests of the industry's employers over its employees, and it was later found that a timber company (Millars) had paid some of his expenses. For this, he was censured by the parliament Labor caucus, and also strongly criticised by "The Sunday Times". Wilson subsequently left the Labor Party to sit as an independent, and often voted with the government of Newton Moore. He did not contest Forrest at the 1908 state election, but instead stood for the seat of Roebourne, where he was defeated by Henry Osborn.
