It would be impossible to give a complete list of all Britain's Prime Ministers here, and what their main achievements were- the office goes back to the early 18th Century and there have been 74 of them!

I suggest you go to WikiPedia and look up 'Prime Minister of the United Kingdom'- that will give you a complete listing of all the ones there have been.
