As of 11th May 2010, David Cameron. He succeeds Gordon Brown who resigned on this day.

No one beat Tony Blair; he resigned and Gordon Brown replaced him.
Gordon Brown was elected leader of the Labour party unopposed in 2007 after Tony Blair stepped-down. When Tony Blair resigned as Prime Minister, HM Queen Elizabeth II called for Gordon Brown, as leader of the majority party to form a government.
Gordon Brown's real name is James Gordon Brown.
For the 3 years of Brown's Premiership it was Alistair Darling, until Brown lost the 2010 Genral Election. Alistair Darling has since resigned completely from politics due to problems in his personal family life.
Tony Blair was British Prime Minister until 27 June 2007 and was 54 when he resigned in favour of Gordon Brown who was then 56.
Gordon Brown left office on May 11, 2010. He resigned as Prime Minister after the Labour Party lost the general election, leading to a coalition government formed by the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats. Brown had been in office since June 27, 2007, following the resignation of Tony Blair.
No, Gordon Brown is not single.
The party elects a new leader who is then the new prime minister. As happened when Blair resigned.
