On May 4th, 1979 Margaret Thatcher entered No 10 Downing Street as the first woman prime minister of the United Kingdom. Here are some other firsts claimed by those occupying Britain’s highest political office.
The first prime minister of Great Britain is generally considered to be Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745). He was also Britain’s longest serving, holding the office for nearly 21 years from April 3rd, 1721 until February 12th, 1742.
The first Scottish prime minister was John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-92), who was also the first Tory prime minister. Unpopular with the English, who were uneasy about Scots in the wake of the Jacobite Rebellions, he resigned in April 1763 having lasted just 317 days, the sixth shortest term of office.
