* [[Liz Truss]] (Conservative, September-October 2022) - She couldn't solve the mess,messes — Cameron's or the one caused by Brexit — either, and she had the misfortune of being Prime Minister upon the death of Elizabeth II. Lost power on what might or might not have been a confidence motion.<ref>For our American friends, key motions in Parliament (including but not limited to what Americans would call "Ways and Means" bills) are treated as motions of Confidence in the current government; if one fails, Parliament is dissolved and there is an ''immediate'' general election.</ref> She chose to interpret the situation as a motion of confidence in ''her'', rather than in ''the government'', and voluntarily stepped down. She holds the record of having the shortest term as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, at 49 days.
* [[Rishi Sunak]] (Conservative, 2022- ) - The first British Asian primePrime ministerMinister (he has Indian ancestry) and the first Hindi primePrime ministerMinister. Remember Cameron's mess?
