The UK Will Have Its Seventh Prime Minister in a Decade. What Happened to the Others?

The article notes that the United Kingdom is about to have its seventh prime minister in ten years, with Andy Burnham set to take office. It reviews the six previous leaders: Boris Johnson, who resigned amid scandals including 'Partygate'; Liz Truss, whose 49-day tenure ended after a disastrous 'mini-budget' caused economic turmoil; and Rishi Sunak, who lost a snap election after less than two years in power, ending 14 years of Conservative rule. The piece highlights a period of intense political instability in the UK.
