Last year I did a compilation of the US Presidents as furries. This year I did our UK Prime Ministers! There were plenty of them from the 18th and 19th centuries, but most are obscure Lords, Dukes, Marquesses and Earls. So I started from the 20th century. Take note that some of the former PMs since the first one in 1721 served two or even three non-consecutive terms.
Our current Prime Minister is David Cameron, Conservative MP for Witney. He was a trickly one, but in the end I went with him as a stoat. For the record, if the then Labour leader Ed Miliband had won the 2015 election instead, he'd have been a red squirrel.
Edit: in hindsight I would have made David Cameron a pig. Much more fitting for him, lol.

Seconded on the dragon. Subtle joke in Callaghan. I would have expected Sir Alec to be a Scottish red deer (perhaps Campbell-Bannerman as well.) SuperMac is quite funny. Major is spot on. Given the way Heath was always drawn in cartoons (see, e.g., Les Gibbard), I would have expected him to be a bird with a long beak. MacDonald is nicely done. Mild surprise Baldwin is shown without his pipe; like Atlee and Wilson, he was known for one.
Cosgrove Hall and her hatred for Thames Television aside, she was responsible for one of the biggest known strikes in UK history, was the subject of an attempted assassination plot and was against Germany's re-unification in 1990, for fear it would wreck the European Economy.
I will give her credit for being the first female Prime Minister, but it's sad that that's all I'm going to give to her I'm afraid.

No Lord Palmerston or Pitt the Elder?

I just realized I only know a handful of these guys from what little UK pop culture I know. I'm guessing Harold Wilson and Edward Heath were the Mr. Wilson and Mr. Heath from The Beatles' "Taxman?" And I can't think of Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill without also thinking of this:

Oh, I guess I know Ted Heath for something else now

The best-looking ones (in my opinion) are Herbert Henry Asquith, David Lloyd George, and Clement Attlee.
This picture inspired me to make one based on Puerto Rican governors and another of Dominican Republic presidents!

What confuses me is the fact that here in the States, the Republicans (which traditionally are the conservative side) are red, while Democrats are Blue. (We use purple for third parties, such as the Libertarian party.) Here, Conservatives are blue, while Labour is red, and the yellow is for the Liberals, of which there have interestingly only been 3 since 1900. So the colors are flip-flopped in a sense.
I did some of the 18th/19th century Prime Ministers a while back. I made the Duke of Devonshire and the Duke of Portland both stags (both of them were ancestors of Her Majesty The Queen on her mother’s side- hint: Portland was Devonshire’s son-in-law), the Duke of Grafton a beaglier (he’s descended from a bastard son of King Charles II), Spencer Perceval an Irish wolfhound (Walt suggested that one), and the Duke of Wellington a border collie (a stealth pun on my part and a decidedly poor one at that).
