Cardinal Wolsey.
But in actual seriousness, probably Churchill in war or Thatcher, although thanks for the NHS, Atlee.

To be fair, Churchill was good at leading the country at war, but after, he wasn't a very good PM and easily lost the next election

honestly, they've all been a bit crap.
May needs to go already
Cameron did nothing special
Who cares about Brown
Blair was alright
Major was crap
Thatcher was double crap
Callaghan failed
don't know anything about Macmillion to Heath
Atlee as a babe who got the NHS up
Churchill won the war, but who was such an imperialist and tory I can't get on board with that

Pitt the Younger deserves a mention, yes he introduced Income Tax but he was a very efficient administrator and pretty dedicated.
Have also always had a soft spot for David Lloyd George, but more as Chancellor than as PM.
Am away to cinema this evening to watch Darkest Hour re Churchill, yes he had faults, but cometh the hour cometh the man
Gladstone and Disraeli I am afraid have to lose out as their repeat ministries were difficult to keep track off when sitting my school exams, they had no consideration for future generations of schoolchildren.
Rest are mere also rans, though Cameron, like Lord North, will at least go down in the history books as an incompetent, as probably will May.
Given what has endured from his term Atlee also deserves an honourable mention.

Clement Attlee.
He built his way out of post war austerity, knew intrinsically that war wearied men and women wanted decent affordable housing and a free NHS where the ability to pay for a doctor was stopped once and for all. He knew that poverty and losing a job could no longer spell penury for working class people so he also introduced the safety net of the Welfare State and social security....and we should NEVER take this for granted.
There has been no greater PM, and I doubt there ever will be. I weep to see what the Tories and May are doing to our country right now.

Though Cameron is much better than May who is weak on a good day and just plain stupid on a bad one.

The worst fate of a politician, to not be remembered.
