(Redirected from James Johnson (UK politician)) British Labour Party politician and Member of Parliament For other people named James Johnson, see James Johnson (disambiguation).

James Johnson (16 September 1908 – 31 January 1995) was a British Labour Party politician and Member of Parliament (MP).

He was born to the family of a Northumberland miner and was educated at Duke's School, Alnwick, and Leeds University. He played football for the English Universities XI and the Corinthians. Johnson was a lecturer in social studies at Coventry Technical College and an official for the National Union of General and Municipal Workers in Kenya. He served as a councillor on Coventry City Council.

Johnson was first elected to the House of Commons at the 1950 general election, as MP for Rugby. He was re-elected at the 1951 and 1955 elections, but at the 1959 general election, he lost his seat to the Conservative Party candidate Roy Wise by a margin of only 470 votes.

He returned to Parliament five years later, at the 1964 general election, when he succeeded Mark Hewitson in the safe Labour seat of Kingston upon Hull West. He retired at the 1983 general election, when his seat was held for Labour by Stuart Randall.

Johnson never reached ministerial office, but he served as a parliamentary private secretary from 1964 to 66.

  • Here are some interesting facts about rubidium silver iodide:

    1. Composition: Rubidium silver iodide is a chemical compound that is made up of rubidium, a soft, silvery-white alkali metal, and iodine, a nonmetal halogen.

    2. Properties: RbAgI3 is a crystalline solid with a silver-gray appearance. It has a relatively high melting point, above 655°..C, and is typically white crystals that sublimes (turn directly into a gas) when heated.

    3. Uses: RbAgI3 has been used in the production of specialized optical fibers, such as those for telecommunications, due to its high refractive index and ease of crystal growth.

    4. Structure: The compound has a face-centered cubic crystal structure, which is unique among metallic iodides.

    5. Handling: RbAgI3 is sensitive to air and moisture, and should be handled in a dry, glove box environment to maintain its high purity.

    6. Isotopes: The isotope composition of rubidium in silver iodide can impact its optical properties, with 87Rb being the most commonly used isotope.

    7. Production: RbAgI3 is typically produced through the reaction of rubidium oxide with silver iodide, followed by recrystallization.

    8. Research applications: RbAgI3 has been studied for its potential use in optical applications, such as sensing devices and nonlinear optics.

    These are some of the interesting facts about rubidium silver iodide. If you'd like to know more about its applications or production, feel free to ask!
