Which UK political resignation speech would you rank as the most memorable?
Resignation speeches often define a politician's legacy more than their time in office. From tearful farewells to defiant final stands, which one left the deepest mark on you?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Liz Truss (2022)
After just 49 days in office, Truss delivered a brief Downing Street statement following the mini-budget fallout. The shortest tenure in British prime ministerial history.
B
Boris Johnson (2022)
Forced out by mass cabinet resignations after the Chris Pincher affair, Johnson's defiant speech outside Number 10 hinted he never quite accepted his fate.
C
Theresa May (2019)
May's composure broke as she declared her love for 'the country I had the honour to serve' after Brexit deadlock destroyed her premiership.
D
David Cameron (2016)
After losing the Brexit referendum he called, Cameron announced his departure and was later caught humming a tune as he walked back inside Number 10.
E
Geoffrey Howe (1990)
Howe's devastating Commons resignation speech, with its broken cricket bat metaphor, triggered the leadership challenge that ended Margaret Thatcher's reign.
