From broken promises to economic chaos, British politics has served up a spectacular parade of failure. It's time to rank the architects of our national mess.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Boris Johnson
From the Brexit bus to Partygate, Johnson turned Downing Street into a circus tent. He charmed millions while the country burned β and then quit before the bill arrived.
Liz Truss
Truss managed to spook the markets, sink the pound, and outlast a lettuce β all in under two months. Her mini-budget will be studied in economics classes as a masterclass in what not to do.
Rishi Sunak
Sunak flew back from California to save the Tory party, then proceeded to call a disastrous election he didn't have to call when he did. He leaves Britain wondering what exactly he was for.

Theresa May
May spent three years negotiating a deal that Parliament rejected three times, paralysing the country in the process. Her legacy is a masterclass in stubbornness dressed up as determination.

Keir Starmer
Starmer rode into power on a wave of anti-Tory fury, then immediately started rowing back on promises and handing out freebies to donors. It turns out the change he promised was mostly a rebrand.
