Ranking Britain's six prime ministers from 2016 to 2026: Cameron to Starmer
By
John Crace
Summary
John Crace ranks the six UK prime ministers who served between 2016 and 2026, from worst to best. David Cameron is ranked worst for triggering the Brexit chaos, followed by Liz Truss for her disastrous mini-budget, Boris Johnson for his rule-breaking and dishonesty, Rishi Sunak for weak leadership, Theresa May for her doomed Brexit deal, and Keir Starmer as the best of the bunch for restoring stability and competence. The piece is a sharp, satirical political ranking that blends humor with serious critique of each leader's tenure.

Key quotes
· 5 pulledIf you're looking for villains, the architect of much of the political chaos of the last 10 years, then David Cameron is your man.
Liz Truss was the worst prime minister we have ever had. She was a disaster from start to finish.
Boris Johnson was a man who believed the rules didn't apply to him. He was a walking, talking catastrophe.
Theresa May was a decent person who was dealt an impossible hand. She did her best, but her best wasn't nearly good enough.
Keir Starmer is the best of a bad bunch. He has brought a sense of calm and competence back to government.
