I’m surprised they didn’t mention Charles trevelyan, especially since he was the sole reason the Irish famine was handled so poorly.

Cyril Smith should be on this list too.

[VitoCorleone-tmqc]

Liz Truss, Suella Braverman, George Osborne, David Cameron need to be added as well now

Thatcher purposefully chose an all male cabinet to make herself look like a more powerful woman. If she did the same thing today, people would call her a sellout for not putting more women in cabinet seats. Shows you how times have changed.

Braverman, Farage, Mogg, Francois, Chope could all be on this list too. So many to choose from.

BoJo also stopped the peace talks between Russia & Ukraine last April

Why isnt Suella Braverman on here? more nasty than Priti Patel who still was!

Rather than attempting to rank various right-wing MPs by the degree of evil (or the suffering and in some cases death) they caused, would it not be more profitable to talk about beneficial economic and social policies, and the heros who introduced great progressive policies?

My first hero is Lloyd George, who introduced the State Pension. But for me, the 1945 Labour government of Clem Attlee were the real heros. They ushered in the Welfare State, the creation of the NHS, the building of Council Houses, the introduction of Lega Aid, free educaiton, and other great progressive initiatives.

A Mixed Economy model was introduced, whereby utilities such as Water and Energy, Trains and Buses were owned by the state and paid for mainly via taxation.

And there was a broad concensus that a Mixed Economy was a desirable thing - not among the hard right, of course, but with more moderate Tories accepting the necessity of having a reasonably educated and healthy workforce with fair accomodation for the good of the nation as a whole.

And then came Thatcher and Reagan, bringing with them the Free Market Neoliberal Capitalist model which replaced the Mixed Economy. Everything that could be privatized WAS privatised.

The state no longer had the responsibility to house or protect the poor. Council Houses were sold off, and no more have been built since.

The UK is in desperate need of another government like that of Attlee, to bring back the Mixed Economy model, and to implement progressive policies.

I would rank Thatcher higher, easily above Blair. If you have the sheer nerve to go out and defend the Red Khmer, you have no soul. No amount of of Cold War partisanship can excuse that.

So many to choose from, but I nominate Thatcher.

[MrDilkington]

Margaret Thatcher was like Stalin to Scotland but its no surprise England have been graping Scotland for hundreds of years

[SnakeRoadComicsOfficial]

Be honest WatchMojo, Y'all wanted to do more than just 10.

[CrimsonNineTail]

And I thought we Yanks had horrible politicians. Though, it is possible they are similar in some areas, especially Thatcher.

Isn’t evil a bit of a strong word for some of these politicians

[johntitor.]

Wouldn't surprise me if this video is removed. Appalling title. I can't stand the Conservatives or Labour but 'evil' is poor clickbait. '10 Most Evil Politicians in History' suggests Hitler or Stalin or Putin. Very poor show Mojo.

[geoffvalero]

Bojo, Braverman, Patel, Raab, Dorries, Truss, Williamson, Rees-Mogg- What a cohort even by Tory standards!!!!

[jadepixie]

Mike warren, Jamie Wallis, Harry Verney, Edmund Verney, Peter Skinner, Patrick Rock, Victor Montagu, Stephen Anthony Searle, Charlie Elphicke, Tony Lecomber, Ian Horobin, Freddie Emery-Wallis, Keith Best, Nazir Ahmed, Martin Webster, Claudia Webbe, John Tyndall, Stephen Hepburn, Nick Griffin, Richard Edmonds, Imran Ahmad Khan, Bill Walker, Eric Joyce, William Weir Gilmour, William Brodie, David Anderson, Simon Thomas, Mick Bates should all be on this list.

[louiseogden]

I think including contemporary politicians in the list alongside Liverpool and Mosley dilutes the idea of evil.
