1962 - Macmillan held the most brutal cabinet reshuffle, sacking seven ministers, a ⅓ of the cabinet, in what became known as the ‘Night of the Long Knives’
2019 - May sacked/resigned more than half of her cabinet, 17/30
2023 - Sunak sacked Braverman (Home Secretary), moved Cleverly to Home Secretary and brought in Cameron to be Foreign Secretary
