Widely regarded as worst prime minister of all time is Anthony Eden
A Quote from the time - "Boy, was Winston Right when he said Anthony Eden wasn't up for the Job. He served as Prime Minister for two years and within that time he had started a lot of conflict between Israel and Britain. After years of waiting in Winston Churchill's shadow, Eden finally became Conservative Party leader and prime minister in 1955 when Churchill resigned due to ill-health. He may have strengthened the Conservatives majority in an election when he took over, but Eden's premiership was short-lived and ended in failure thanks to the Suez Crisis in which Eden attempted to take the Suez canal. Things did not go to plan and he received "widespread international condemnation"
But a lot of folk overlook Theresa May who was essentially forced into leadership because nobody wanted the job of dealing with the mess of post brexit fallout. She wasn't equipped to lead a dog on a walk, very Robotic and a charisma black hole.
Totally agree Tony Blair is a terrible person and I can't believe he thinks he can still have the audacity to lecture others in power when he's the whole reason are country is fucked up to begin with. Boris is just a idoit, just lies no stop, he doesn't even know how to be honest. I hate most if not all politicians they are all dirty, greedy pigs.
I think my last straw with Boris was the parties. My 30 something year old cusion who was due to be married and has a 3 years old son died from a vaccine he told us all to have so him and his mates could line their pockets a little bit more. I couldn't say goodbye to him but he could have cheese and wine parties.
I know someone who works with the government and let's just say houses of parliament send the most money on alcohol then any other government building. Alcohol should be band they are all pissed heads and they are making big life changing decisions for everyday people whilst shit faced on expensive wine. I'm sorry no one else is aloud to drink on the job so way can they
Tony Blair was politically skilled but very evil. Boris Johnson had an unassailable majority. He could have reversed all of Blair’s innovations like the Supreme Court, Equality Act, and mass migration. Instead, he proceeded to impose policies farther to the left than what Labour said they wanted and let in record levels of immigration, which is precisely what those who gave him a huge majority elected him to stop. He completely squandered his majority and was unskillful politically once in office. He will go down as one of the worst, most traitorous prime ministers ever.
The sad reality for the UK is that the whole political class will resist any sort of substantial change. You will have neoliberal globalism whether you want it or not, no matter who you elect. Parties that aren’t onboard will be forbidden from running.
Nah that goes to Margaret thatcher. Boris Johnson is just more your typical tory shit like always but nothing evil really unlike Margaret which she is just evil so lol.

He was pretty terrible but not the worst in history. Same as Blair really.
In terms of what caused his demise, I think the main problem was that he had somewhere between absolutely no agenda after Brexit finished, and an agenda that was straight trash. So far as I can tell, his main policy positions post Brexit were to go all in on Net Zero and the Green agenda and to have arbitrary enforcement of ridiculous power with the Covid lockdowns.
Given that the main thing that got him into power in the first place (Brexit) was all about freeing people from control they did not want from Brussels, replacing it with control they do not want from Westminster seems like a pretty terrible idea. I don't think any of his likely replacements will have the stones to put together a winning agenda though, which would likely include some of the following:
1) Address the shambles that is the economic situation: Do this by moving AWAY from Net Zero and the eco-tards and towards producing copious, plentiful, cheap energy. Frack, fuckers!
2) Control immigration. This doesn't mean being "racist" or xenophobic. It means having clear rules and enforcing them. The EU is fucking with the UK in allowing a whole shitload of migrants to pass into the UK via the Channel when the rules are they must apply for asylum in the country they FIRST landed in--which is rarely the UK. So send them the fuck out.
3) Follow up on Brexit with a restoration of power to individuals rather than a concentration of it in Westminster. Open an inquiry into all the MANY mistakes that were made during Covid. Lockdowns should NEVER have happened. Admit that. Ensure it NEVER happens again. Get the FUCK out of people's lives!
4) Speaking of getting the fuck out of people's lives, scrap the online safety bill and all other SEVERE limitations of civil liberties. And push back against the wave of Woke-tardary that Boris lacked the stones to confront. If the Civil Service in Whitehall is trying to frustrate that, sack them. A whole lot of people need to be chucked out. This will also save the government money.
We have had so many recently it has pretty much been an ongoing embarrassment. I would say it is between these three.
Boris Johnson is not necessarily the worst but he is incompetent. He has made some colossal mistakes and wasted some brilliant opportunities. Brexit was only the ip of the iceberg.
Tony Blair was and still is a nasty piece of work but as @jshm2 said, at least he fucked up other countries more than his own.
A lot of people said that Neville Chamberlain was one of the worst. His premiership was dominated by the question of policy towards an increasingly aggressive Germany, and his actions at Munich were widely popular among the British at the time.
Tony Blair was an extremely good PM. His only mistake was being dragged into a war by the US, and I don't believe any other British politician would have done anything different (they always just go along with what the US are doing).
Boris Johnson wasn't actually all that bad as Prime Minister either. He caused an immense amount of damage *before* he became PM, by leading (along with Farage) the campaign for Brexit, and spreading a lot of lies about it. Obviously the Brexit deal he made as PM was a disaster, but that was always inevitable - noone could have negotiated a good deal, because Brexit was just a fundamentally terrible idea to begin with. His handling of the Covid pandemic was pretty good, and earned him a lot of goodwill. To be honest, none of the various scandals surrounding him have even been particularly consequential - certainly nowhere near the level of a certain other former leader, across the pond.
I am not in the UK but I do know about UK history some. Just based on some conversations I have had with one exception the UK has not had a good PM since years before Arthur Balfour left office in 1905. One of the issues in the UK is the parliamentary government. Again I don't live in the UK so I am not being critical when I point this out. A PM can make a mistake. Something horrible can happen and all it takes is a vote of no confidence to throw parliament into chaos. This can lead to new elections. While this makes the Government more accountable to the people, it also can lead to instability and confusion. Just to be clear, this question is about the UK. If it had been about the US I would be critical of almost every President in my lifetime.
British friends... Not gonna attempt to have a full picture of politics in the UK. As an American (or any foreigner to the UK or GBR the matter), I don't find it appropriate for myself to opine. But I'd like to see a little more insight on why you think your opinion is the worst for one reason or another.
Politics can really suck. Just glad that the best countries in the world (U. S., UK, and Australia, etc.) stick together and have each other's backs, for good or the bad. That's what makes us the best countries in the world.
Boris was a traitor and globalist puppet.
The British people voted for Brexit and Boris stabbed them in the back.
Clement Attlee (1945-51) was a far worse tratior and idiot.
Neville Chamberlain (1937-40) is cast unfairly as a fool and a bad prime minister. The truth was that Chamberlain was playing for time, to get British industry on to a war footing before there was another war in Europe. There is no such thing as an instant army, navy, or air force. Such things require years to recruit, equip and train.
John Major was a disaster. I quite liked Boris It was really only downhill after he sacked Dominic Cummings.. He was the one behind the Matt Hancock photos being released as well as other things he's done to put Boris in a bad light. The media just jumped all over it.
Then you don't stand by much, dearie.
Boris not only fucked Britain and the EU with his halfassed "brexit" thus ruining both lobal standing. He also fucked social care for Brits, stole from the welfare state under "austerity" and engaged in the sort of international tomfoolery that would make Trump proud.
Tony at least fucked up other countries more than Britain., Boris was the opposite.
BoJo the clown was to me the political equivalent of a sleazy pyramid scheme salesman. There is only a limited amount of time where you can tell people that the bridge you sold them will arrive in due time.
You have to put Neville Chamberlain in the race for worst UK PM. Because of his negotiations with Hitler, the Munich Accord, World War II happened, and millions of lives were lost.
Nah Theresa May was a total shambles, BoJo just got his hand caught in the cookie jar and paid the price.
Nah Blair was worse not to mention Chamberlain who bowed down to Hitler
I do believe that distinction firmly belongs to Neville Chamberlain.
I haven't been keeping up with politics lately to make a fair assestment. What do you think of him and why?
Mr. Johnson wasn't the worst Prime Minister sure there were others
You should hire an American to run your country. Brits don't know how to take a little heat.
i think it was the worst time in recent history to be a prime minister xD but honestly i don't give a crap enough to have a proper opinion on the guy.
While I didn't agree with basically anything he did and I think he didn't do anythint to prevent damage to the UK for 100s of years to come.. He was dealt a pretty damn shit hand with both brexit and covid.
Maybe Joe and his gang of crooks will do likewise, now.
*Boris Johnson was the worst UK prime minister*
