Prime Ministers and Politics Timeline

Graphic taken from the 'Prime Ministers and Politics Timeline'

Do you know which prime minister brought 'fallen women' to 10 Downing Street? Or which one fought a duel? Or who was known as 'the Goat'?

Do you know when women got the vote, or who built the British Empire, or how Earl Grey made democracy, not tea?

Take a political journey through nearly 300 years of high ideals and low cunning, from Tony Blair to the first man to hold prime ministerial powers, Robert Walpole.
