Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

If you can rate Attlee first but then Thatcher 2nd then really you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. One was a virtual saint, the other the devil.
@alessandrocarpi9898
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
The best Prime Ministers were Clement Attlee and Tony Blair.
@animationreview5696
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
I'd like to see a modern adaptation of this, I feel like people would rate theresa may more highly. Now we're 4 years out of her premiership and have felt the consequences of a hard Brexit, I think people would appreciate May's attempt to navigate a softer brexit deal with europe.
@johnmorris1009
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
In my lifetime, i'd rank them as follows:
1. Blair
2. Major
3. Brown
4. Thatcher
5. Cameron
6. May
7. Sunak
8. Truss
9. Johnson

Well Johnson, Truss and Sunak will all soon outdo May as worst PM's ever.

@jtmeister8530
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
I am an American, but have been fairly interested in British politics. Based on what I have read, Churchill is by far the best prime minister both on policy and on popularity. I feel like people like Blair, Atlee, and the majority of the others are getting proped up way more than they should be, especially Blair, he sucked.
@alexanderstewart9104
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
I would have said Churchill because we see him as hero who is placed on a pedestal but I'm going to listen to the academics they know more than me

David Cameron was pretty good

Labour ploughed the dregs starting with Blair and Brown .The Tories even worse . Johnson , Sunak etc , etc , etc . With a succession of corrupt . inept and outright useless individuals like these no wonder our Country is F…….d !

There is no question on who is the Best Prime Minister. But then we have the worst PM . He is the Indian boy.
@farhanshahid7680
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
Blair was the best
@cald1421
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
May deserves a second shot. She’s a brilliant parliamentarian and better than what the Conservatives have served up since Boris left. She was dealt the worst hand imaginable and had her hands tied. Without that bullshit boulder I think she really could do great
@cald1421
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
Lol. Clement Atlee and Tony Blair fans. I WONDER what the political biases of those “experts” are. Typical leftist academia. Can’t trust them at all. At least they’re fair on the economy and foreign policy
@davidbrock2871
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
The postwar PM who has provided most benefit to the greatest number of people has to be Clem Atlee. This is surely the only criterion with the highest value.
@themuleplays552
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
Blair
@rohitballal5654

Margaret Thatcher for me was the best, don't really like Churchill for what he did and said about India, he was a racist.

The next time you’re ill and you don’t die because your card got declined, remind yourself that Clement Attlee was far and away our greatest prime minister.

Why is asking a a bunch of academics more scientific than anything else? The word ‘experts’ should be taken lightly.
@bryanjones374
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
How can you even consider Blair ad a good Prime Minister he did more damage to the UK than any other Prime minister in many ways,and his actions may be the main reason the UK will break up Ie giving Scotland and Wales their own parliaments when there was no need and labour lost the majority in Scotland since also presided over selling our gold reserves at the worse possible time !! Plus many other failings

Can't wait to see how low truss will score
@AxelQC
December 22, 2023 at 11:59 pm
While the rankings were based on post-war criteria, defeating Hitler and saving Europe from Fascism, and then saving it from Communism, should count for more than anything any other PM ever did. Since you cut it off just before Churchill's WWII leadership, it really negates his impact on global history.
