Story · Andy Burnham
The UK Has Its Seventh Prime Minister in a Decade. What Happened to the Others?
The article provides an overview of the United Kingdom's rapid turnover of prime ministers over the past decade, focusing on the three most recent leaders. Boris Johnson resigned after multiple scandals, including partygate, which made him the first sitting PM found to have broken the law. Liz Truss served only 49 days, the shortest tenure in British history, after her mini-budget triggered an economic crisis. Rishi Sunak, the UK's first British Asian and millennial PM, called an early election in July 2024 but lost in a landslide to the Labour Party, ending 14 years of Conservative rule. The piece notes that Andy Burnham is set to become the seventh PM in ten years, though the summary text focuses on the previous six.
