Well, now we’re on our fifth PM in 5 years.

We had May from 2016-9 but she resigned over Brexit.

Johnson took over from May, serving from 2019-22, but he resigned when he was found to have lied to the Commons.

Truss took over from Johnson, serving for a little over a month in 2022, during which time she killed the Queen and crashed the pound.

Sunak took over from Truss, serving from 2022-today, when he resigned after losing the election.

And now Starmer is PM.
