A Major Mistake (Who was the best post-1979 PM?)

Poorly Informed

In one of the most interesting and chaotic Poorly Informed debates since the early days, Peter, Will, Max and Theo have a classic Prime Ministers' ranking fight. After Thatcher's economic liberalisation in the 1980s, Prime Ministers would never govern the same way again. So we decided to look at the four longest-serving post-1979 PMs: Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair and David Cameron/Nick Clegg. There's also some illegal currency exchange on air, and Theo makes a £200 bet that he's hoping Will's forgotten about. Enjoy. (And take the debate further at https://thepoorlyinformedblog.blogspot.com/, where we've written a short guide to every post-war Prime Minister!)
