I would say it's too early to include the incumbent. He might surprise us yet. |
Doubt that.

Similar to how I ranked them but I take issue with your description of May as being ‘mostly harmless’. A throughly dreadful person and PM who promoted much of the racism and xenophobia that pollutes politics now. |
That was a bit of a cipher for "ineffectual", She also ran one of the worst General Election campaigns I've seen in my lifetime. |  |

his judgement has been good on this one, and the polar opposite of farage and badenoch's loud calls to get involved | |

I’m really struck how Brown’s reputation has been rehabilitated. He was (unfairly) viewed as a fairly laughable figure at the end of his time in charge.
He was absolutely instrumental in averting a global depression after the financial crisis though.
Obama:
*taps mic*
Gordon’s got a plan |
be interesting to rate their post pm behaviour, brown has been exemplary, major very good, may pretty good.
at the other end, blair has thoroughly trashed his legacy, while johnson and truss have just got even worse | |

Yeah I’d go for that. Iraq aside Blair was probably the best but that was a massive negative. |  | | |

That's the only conclusion to draw really. He did tell me that he's never claimed he's a patriot and that definitely shows in his voting choices as he seems to actively want to make the country worse. | |

Erm, I think you might want to look again at the OP's list and then it'll become very obvious why Starmer is bottom and Thatcher is top. | |

Not sure he or most Reform voters hate their country but they all seem to be incredibly selfish who only care about themselves. I guess that’s why Farage is so popular with them as he is quite reflective of their personality traits. |  | | |

Great trolling this, but anyone who doesn't put Thatcher bottom is trolling. Without here we don;t get the hordes of demonic Tory spawn that fcuked this country. Let alone the fact she is the first person since Cromwell who should be dug up and put on trial. |  |

I think I'm inclined to agree. Truss was objectively completely hopeless and managed to be outlasted by a lettuce. She also managed to inflict a pretty substantial amount of damage in a short amount of time. However, she didn't last long enough to irreparably damage the fabric of the country in the way Thatcher did. Thatcher was also competent and ruthless enough to actually get shit done and a competent ideologue is far more dangerous than an incompetent one. Johnson and Thatcher bottom two with Truss just ahead. Brown top I'd say with Blair and Major rounding off the top three. In between that they're all much of a muchness. | |

Johnson is bottom by a country mile.
I despised Thatcher, but I do recognise that she did a couple of vaguely sensible things - a leading architect of the single market, and one of the first world leaders to bring up the subject of climate change. It says a lot that those on the right that worship her despise both those things (see also Churchill with the ECHR)
Truss was disastrous, but frankly, she was dumb as a box of dirt and just did what she was told. I remain convinced that a fair proportion of the Tory grass roots voted for her to become leader because despirlte Sunak showing his workings that her ideas would be REALLY stupid, he was the wrong colour.
Johnson isn't dumb. He knew damned well that a lot of things he did were wrong, and did them anyway. Like Farage, like Trump, doesn't give a damn about anyone else but themselves, irrespective of whether they are supporters or not. Lacking in principles, will only do what they can to ensure their own personal status is enhanced. Supported in some cases by plastic patriots, bootlicking sycophants, and always wiling to punch down. A pathetic creature who despises this country, and possibly a genuine security risk if the rumours are true
If we're talking about Tories, Major, and even May were light years ahead of the scrote. [Post edited 9 Apr 11:27]

It depends on what criteria you look at so it’s not easy. I’ll go by instinct. The bottom six are any order really, bar Truss who is at the bottom of any list. Dreadful creature.
1. Thatcher
2. Major
3. Blair
4. Brown
5. May
6. Cameron
7. Sunak
8. Starmer
9. Johnson
10. Truss
Thatcher was a very strong leader. The best in my lifetime. Very principled. Shame they were all the wrong principles and is a cause of much of the problems in society to this day. I voted for her in 79 and 83. Aaaargh!
Major - better than was given credit for. Fiscally sound too.
Blair - good leader, great with media. No principles whatsoever and dropped us into a war with no evidence.
Brown - poor leader and a difficult man. Indecisive, oversaw the destruction of pension provision in this country, the Brown bottom (gold reserves flogged off for zippo), partly responsible for the financial crisis (FSA/poor regulation) and party to the policy with Blair of unlimited open door immigration that was never part of any manifesto. On the upside, he loathed Prince Charles, as he was then.
Cameron - projected leadership, but omg, he wouldn’t know a right decision if it hit him on the greasy head. Awful.
May - difficult person. Relied on a few trusted people, micro managed
The last four? In a big sack with an anvil and dropped in the river. Actually, bung in May and Cameron too.
What a sorry collection of specimens overall. No wonder the country is in ruins. |  | | |

He’d probably make a good foreign secretary under a PM who’s a bit more Labour-like. It certainly seems to be one of his strengths and an otherwise underwhelming PMship. |  |

We may as well void Liz Truss.
But then anyone who wouldn't put Margaret Thatcher bottom needs to do some serious reading.
They also can't complain when they're struggling to afford a house (Housing Act 1980), that nothing is made in the UK and is too expensive (Deindustrialisation), their wages have stagnated (weakening of trade unions), trains are a mess (privatisation of rail), our rivers are polluted (prioritisation of WATER) etc. etc.
This is not to mention the ethos of deregulation and cost-cutting (picked up again by Cameron) brought in, that you could quite tangibly draw a link to scandals like the NHS Infected Blood Scandal and Grenfell.
Thatcher's legacy is a woeful stain on the UK, defined by a permanent shift toward economic inequality, a chronic lack of affordable housing and social scarring of the UK's industrial regions that will never be fully healed. [Post edited 9 Apr 12:55]
