Couple of footnotes 1. Prime ministerial changeover is a crude measure of instability and others are available, but it is certainly a good indicator 2. Irish Home Rule was by no means resolved at the end of that decade. Some may argue it is still unresolved. However, the defeat of the Gladstone’s second home rule bill put the issue to one side for a decade or more in legislative terms.

@serenelyjoyful It’s not a prefect indicator by any means, but quite good. Chief propose we to show that our times are far from unprecedented

@HackBlackburn and PM t/o is probably not that strong an indicator of instability the big swirling questions (later on in your thread) are closer so the period Jan 1906-Dec 1915 was challenging despite only 2 PMs and a single Party

Has 2016-2026 been the most unstable decade ever in British politics? No. By my measure, it's only the 3rd worst period of prime ministerial turmoil

Once again obsessed with the 'click here if you're Andy Burnham' button.

If Burnham wins Makerfield then am assured the mayoral by-election will take place under SV, not FPTP - which should help Labour The required SI to enact this part of the Devolution Act can be passed in time, I'm told. FPTP was one of the arguments to block Burnham in Gorton

Greater Manchester Combined Authority has confirmed that Andy Burnham only needs to resign as Mayor if he is elected as an MP. GMCA says he does not need to resign to be a candidate. Should he lose the by-election he could continue as mayor - it may not be the best look though.
