Tomorrow apparently.

Can people list the things he has done that people have liked about him please?
Personally, I think he will be a Leader who I will soon forget.

I understand he may be a nice person.
Though personally I think he did far too much of "standing by people". He stood by everyone until he couldnt do it any longer.

He did do well about foreign wars.

Watching him resign with dignity this morning it made me realise what a kind, caring humble person he is! Plus he loves his family and his country deeply! He was totally vilified as soon as he entered number 10! Our nasty media went for him continuously and credit him for not giving in!
He has overseen
No fault evictions stopped
Deportations have risen
Immigration has fallen
Breakfast clubs for children
Triple lock saved
Etc

Ok he wasn’t charismatic or mind blowingly enthusiastic but he steadied the ship after 14 horrendous years! He kept Trump at bay and did not get into
war issues! Plus sorted out tariffs !
He won’t be remembered for much but I do respect him and hope he manages to use his legal attributes and expertise in the future!

I so agree.

I can't bring myself to feel sorry for him as so much has gone wrong since he became PM.

Goodness knows what the future holds.

Oops meant to put that on the other thread.

I agree with you MollyNew. And, thank goodness, unlike Ms Badenoch, he refused to join Mr Trump's Epstein Deflection War.
