Hardly! At the risk of causing offence to the family/followers of the late great man, his brilliance was very much focussed in one particular sphere. To be an effective british PM requires a multifaceted approach coupled with oozes of charisma.

//She's not the only one who needs a lesson in geography. The Baltic and the Black Sea are rather more than 700 miles apart. Best you tell your news source …now that you know.//
Google Maps shows the the two closest points as the crow flies between the two seas is 742 miles. Care to revise your assertion?
Is there nothing you won’t do to defend Tories from any sort of scrutiny, questioning or criticism?
It’s truly sad and pathetic that you won’t condemn them for any form of sleaze, poor judgement or questionable policy but will question the geography of a reliable source.

….yet you consider Truss to fit that bill? Lol, you really must try harder, site is getting infected again.
I’ll bet your choices who fit the criteria are undoubtedly Tories, maybe Blair thrown in but he’ll be considered ‘not real Labour’, won’t he? Lol

//Will you condemn Boris Johnson for lying about having knowledge of a predatory sex pest, Chris Pincher? Yes or no? //
/Good grief! Sex again! What is wrong with you? I answered that yesterday. No. He said he had been informed. Now change the record for heaven's sake. Your constant repetitive drivel is driving serious posters here daft - and heading for the hills! You'll be the only one left here soon - well maybe you and your couple of equally boring cronies./
I didn’t say sex, I said predatory sex pest, it’s scary that you can’t distinguish between the two, though you deem extra-marital affairs and infidelity as ‘sex’ too.
What you’re dismissing as ‘boring’ are factual news stories and events that portray certain members of certain political parties in a bad light, the Tories being your favourite.
You evade the truth and have nothing by way of counter-argument to those factual events, other than ‘you disagree with them’.
It’s named News for a reason, hence this section on AB.
You’d be better acknowledging what’s going on in the real world, not the bubble you live in, you portray an air of being unarmed when it comes to debating facts.

Where have I said that?
/With absolutely no exceptions, I've been critical of every PM since the age I was eligible to vote!/
I answered your question. Do the same yourself. Who fits the criteria? Who’s previously been a good or decent PM in your opinion?

Yes, her father was a university maths professor and the comprehensive she attended was in one of the most affluent areas of Leeds. I think we have different understandings of 'humble'.

IMHO, various people have succeeded to the post of becoming PM at just the right time.
For example, in 'recent' times one would applaud effusively Churchill. His dogged and unwavering approach which led to Britain being triumphant over the Germans. Attlee is most certainly deserving of the accolade 'Greatest British Social Reformer'. Without exception, everyone who is of voting age should in the very least, afford an acknowledgement to Attlee for his part in making the very much needed changes to the Welfare System. A nod also goes to Thatcher too. A divisive figure, of that I have no doubt. But her handling of certain monumental events can only be described as both clinical and necessary.
Perhaps their efforts were best rewarded (posthumously) when they each passed away. That is; WC given a state funeral. MT, a state funeral all but in name. And last bit not least, CA, who was deserving of a state funeral.

//Ditching Boris Johnson was certainly a bad idea.//
How so? Ditching a perpetual liar a bad thing in your view? A record 60 Tory minsters resigning in one day, imagine what might have compelled them to do that?
Take the yellow and blue lensed-specs off and again I’ll ask, what redeeming features had he for remaining in post?
I genuinely want to know what exactly made Boris Johnson such an attractive prospect in continuing as PM of this country?
40% of the parliamentary party voted against him staying on, even before the Pincher scandal.
Or are you asserting that a massive proportion of government got it wrong with their votes and subsequent resignations?
