Welcome to Prime Factors where we review each UK Prime Minister from Robert Walpole to Keir Starmer. We discuss their biography, highs and lows, and then rate them on a scale designed by a 10-year old before awarding the ultimate prize: Are they ”Known” or an ”Ice Cream Cone”?
12.0 - Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham (Part 3): “Rockingham Epilogue”
Sixteen years after we left him, the Marquess of Rockingham is back. After North failed to pacify the colonies with either diplomacy or force, Rockingham was once again offered the reins of government. But before he would take the job, he had one condition: America would be independent. The Whigs were back in charge with a decade's worth of reforms ready to go. But would Rockingham's second act be the start of a new Whig era, or just a brief interruption?
Featuring John & Rob from Prime Time (www.primetimepod.com) performing our Picture This: Lord Rockingham in… The Adventure of the Cragg Vale Coiners!

11.5 - Frederick North, Lord North (Part 3) - "The Man Who Lost America"
The tea is in the harbor and the drums of war are beating. Frederick North takes on his greatest challenge as the American colonists rebel, transforming a politician more at home in the Treasury into the architect of Britain's colonial campaign. We know how the story ends, but we have a more important question: Was it his fault?

The Battle of Bunker Hill (Boston Bedtime #2)
British troops controlled Boston, but the city's almost island-like geography made it more a prison than a staging-ground. Desperate to break out, they crossed the water to storm the heights of Charlestown — where colonial militia had dug in overnight — in the clash we call the Battle of Bunker Hill. I tell Abram the tale as our second bedtime story.
