Me?

Blair. Brown, first bit of Cameron.

On paper I earn more money now but everything's tits up isn't it? From the economy to shit on beaches to being able to get access to the NHS when needed.

Thatcher then Blair

Tony Blair. Hands down.

The 1997 - 2001 Government was bloody incredible. I miss it every day.

And I miss the Labour Party of those days too.

Blair - people had hope then and politicians still kept up the pretence that they gave a shit about the common good.

Tony Blair. Lived in London. Was in my early 20s. Had a laugh! Life was good.

Tony Blair, I don't get the hate. I felt safe in government at that time. Lost faith with David Cameron and it got worse from there.

Liz Truss for sure. Those were a few great weeks for me.

Harold Wilson. I was little and life was fun.😀

Margaret Thatcher. I was a young doctor, bought my own detached house on a v affordable mortgage, travelled abroad for the first time, DH was still alive, and the future looked great. Little did I know I was going to be widowed young with two babies and face 30 years of grieving. Sigh.

Tony Blair.

Harold Wilson. Although, I remember celebrating when Tony Blair won in 1997.
