Fun fact: Since universal suffrage in 1928, only 4 of our 21 Prime Minister's in that time have entered Downing Street on an election win, and left as the result of an election defeat.
Ted Heath, who won in 1970 and left after defeat to Harold Wilson in 1974.
Harold Wilson's first stint as PM, after his win in 1964 until 1970.
It was his second stint after 1974 where he stepped aside for Jim Callaghan in 1976.
Clement Attlee from 1945 until 1951.
And Ramsay MacDonald from 1929 to 1935.
