UK Prime Ministers

The Rt Hon William Pitt (the Younger).

Charles Watson Wentworth.

No British Prime Minister has been in office for anything LIKE this long- the longest serving Prime Minister to date has been Lord Liverpool, who was in office from 1812 to '27, a total of 15 years.

Yes he did and I believe the quote was "Foolish consistencies are the hobgoblins of small minds". I don't know where the quote is but I went around quoting him for years before recognizing the quote was from Ralph Waldo Emerson. I believe I read it in his eight volume series he wrote about WWII, starting with "The Gathering Storm", which I read over thirty years ago. If my memory, per chance, serves me correct, it was in regard to England's government not being more accommodating to Italy in 1939, during the time period that France and England were making ultimatums to Germany regarding its foreign policy. He felt England was going to have a hard time with just fighting Germany and that while the issues with Italy were similar to the issues with Germany; the countries Italy had attacked were smaller and less important. Therefore there was a less urgent need consistency regarding Italy, than it was for England to position itself to be able to successfully deal with Germany.

I presume you mean 'Prime Ministers', and you mean British PMs. Tony Blair was PM for most of the period, Gordon Brown took over in 2007. Listen to the news and find out how the country is governed!

Labor Unions.

There is currently a coalition government in Britain, with the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats party in government together. The Prime Minister is David Cameron, who is the leader of the Conservative Party, which is the larger of the two parties at present.

The Rt Hon Spencer Perceval is the only British Prime Minister to have been assassinated. John Bellingham shot him through the heart with a pistol in the lobby of the House of Commons at 5:15pm on 11 May 1812.

King George VI was the second son of George V. He ascended to throne after his brother Edward abdicated in December 1936. At the time of his ascension Stanley Baldwin was prime minister of UK. During his reign apart from Baldwin, Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee served as prime ministers. At the time of his death Winston Churchill was serving his second stint as the prime minister.

Gordon Brown, who was Prime Minister from 27 June 2007 until 11 May 2010, was blind in one eye, but not blind in the other eye.

Hugh Grant

Margaret Thatcher

In office as leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister from 4 May 1979 to 28 November 1990

Geoffrey Howe's on November 13th 1990. Until November 1st 1990, Howe served as Deputy Prime Minister, Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons, having previously also been both Chancellor of the Exchequer and Foreign Secretary. His resignation speech brought a crisis of leadership within the Conservative Party to the forefront of British politics, leading to a leadership challenge by Michael Heseltine that prompted a ballot of Conservative MPs on November 20th 1990. Despite winning 204 of 379 MPs' votes, then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was forced to withdraw her candidacy for re-election on November 22nd, subsequently resigning on the 28th.

Gordon Brown- he had been Chancellor under Tony Blair's Premiership, and took over as Prime Minister when Blair was forced to resign in late June 2007.

However, although a competent and strong Chancellor, Brown proved to be a weak and ineffective PM, not handling Britain's military deployment in Afghanistan well and seemingly incapable of decisive action. He was also Prime Minister during the 'MP's Expenses Scandal' of 2009 / 10. All MPs are entitled to claim allowances and expenses for essentials that enable them to do their work- travel expenses, hotel bills, employment of staff in their constituency office, and so on, all of which is met by the taxpayer. But it soon became apparent that a great many MPs were abusing the system, claiming money for non-essential or even luxury items such as clothing, home improvements, holidays, expensive meals out, and so on. They did not declare these expenditures in the House of Commons accounts, so nobody had a record of where the money was going or who was spending it, just that expenses bills were skyrocketing.

Although some Conservative and a few Liberal Democrat MPs were guilty of this, the vast majority of the offenders were Labour members- Brown himself was not one of them, but he was forced to sack his Home Secretary Jackie Smith as one of the guilty parties, and several Labour MPs were jailed for their involvement in the fraud. This, together with Brown's poor leadership qualities, resulted in him being voted out in the 2010 election- he was only ever a 'caretaker' leader, and never elected in his own right.

However, tragedy befell him when he was in office, when his firstborn son died in infancy. Everybody was sorry for him about this- some issues go beyond politics.

The Iron Curtain. He used the term in a speech in Fulton Missouri in 1946.

Earl Grey

Winston Churchill

It can be argued either way. Due to the Wall Street Crash of 1929 the Labour Cabinet split in 1931. Following this, MacDonald headed a national coalition; this government was founded by conservatives. This gave the feel that he betrayed his party!!

The Conservative Prime Minister Harold MacMillan, who was referring to the economic boom and increased standards of living in the late 1950s.
