With all of today's excitement, why not listen to our Election Special about how one #primeminister hands over to another? A whirlwind of ceremonial, politics, and administration, forcing a new PM to get their government together in no time at all... shows.acast.com/prime-time/e...

James Callaghan is the only person to have held all 4 Great Offices of State. PM during difficult economic times (1976-79), his was the most recent government brought down by a vote of no confidence. Not a Welshman, but he represented Cardiff South in Parliament for 42 years!

Incidentally, the only PM to have been born in Wales (Lloyd George was born in Manchester but soon moved to Wales) is Julia Gillard who was Prime Minister of Australia 2010-13 having emigrated there as a child!

David Lloyd George (PM 1916-22) was a leading figure in the pre-WWI radical Liberal government and was PM for the 2nd half of the Great War and its aftermath. Not a Cardiff man specifically, but he was the UK's first Welsh PM & the only one not to have spoken English growing up.

Just did a long run around Cardiff and wanted to show you the PM-related things I passed along the way (whilst in great pain...)

Politicians have some unexpected duties... Within hours of tearing lumps out of each other at #PMQs, the #PrimeMinister and Leader of the Opposition (and both Speakers!) made a 60-mile dash to Kent to attend the installation of Sarah Mullaly as the 106th #ArchbishopOfCanterbury

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 It's time to find an answer to the most important question the Simpsons ever asked. William Pitt the Elder has made many cameo appearances in the episodes of other #PrimeMinisters, but now it's FINALLY time to take a look at him properly. #history #politics #geogians

BIG NEWS 😱🚨 OK, not really, but we are updating our #primeminister episode thumbnails. We firmly believe that “there’s no such thing as a bad idea, so say yes to every single idea” so if you can think of any fun visual gags to add to old episodes, do let us know! #thecatstays #history #politics
