21. William Ewart Gladstone
William Ewart Gladstone was born in December 1809 in Liverpool to Scottish parents. He was a Liberal Prime Minister four times, more than any other Prime Minister. Mr Gladstone was junior lord of the Treasury, under-secretary of the Colonial Office and chancellor of the exchequer. For two years he combined the offices of Prime Minister and chancellor, passed the Representation of the People Act 1884 which increased the number of men eligible to vote, and attempted to introduce home rule in Ireland. As an MP he spoke out against the abolition of slavery as his family had slaves on their West Indian Plantation, and worked to “rescue and rehabilitate” London’s prostitutes. | Crown copyright
