There have been several, not just one- in post-WW2 times there have been four who have forcibly resigned and one who resigned voluntarily. Anthony Eden (PM 1955-57) was forced to resign over creating the Suez Crisis, Margaret Thatcher (PM 1979-90) was forced to do so following a vote of No Confidence in her leadership after the introduction of the Poll Tax in Britain, Tony Blair (PM 1997-2007) was forced to do so as a result of pressure from within his own governing Labour Party after it was disclosed that he took Britain to war against Iraq in partnership with the US on the basis of false intelligence information, and David Cameron (PM 2010-15) was forced to do so after losing the referendum on whether Britain should remain a part of the EU. Harold MacMillan (PM 1957-63) resigned voluntarily because he had been wrongly diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer and believed he was going to die, but in fact lived for another 23 years! (contrary to popular belief, his resignation had nothing to do with the Profumo Affair).
