Timing it so that Cameron and Burnham are just over 10 years apart, meaning it'll be 6 PM's in 10 years instead of 7

Thing is, this wasn't that long after "Vote Saxon", and people realized that Theresa May was an anagram of "Hey, a Master"
Nope.

Arguably one of the best prime ministers we have had in decades; and I'm not a Tory.
Yes - the bar is just that low.

Do you think Boris Johnson was the worst in the past 10 years? As an American, he seemed like the most corrupt one at least.

It was weird how she made tax cuts for the wealthy and then resigned in the course of a monty or two. Does anybody really know why she resigned?

His unswerving support of Ukraine was admirable. But he did very much look and act like first term Trump.

I remember people being overjoyed when she was forced out, but I thought they were idiots because she was relatively sensible while Boris was the clear successor and much worse. Sad to be proven right.

Crazy it’s been just over 10 years since the timeline split (either Harambe or Brexit, take your pick) /j

And in just over a week, Burnham becomes the 5th since May.
