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.
Living prime ministers of the United Kingdom
There have been ten periods when six living current or former prime ministers co-existed, with the longest being a nine-year period beginning with the first appointment (1834) of Robert Peel. The most recent period was from the appointment (1990) of John Major and the death (1995) of Harold Wilson. There has been one period (1754) with no living prime minister, a period of ten days that spanned the death of Henry Pelham on 6 March and the appointment of the Duke of Newcastle.
