I think as time goes on, we'd all tolerate some of the PMs before that were hated on for various reasons.
I look back to the scandals of the past, and of course it has always existed. Most scandals were relatively tame by modern standards (in fact, in most cases it was likely an MP was caught having an affair than pocketing millions). Now it seems that all politicians have found, legal but somewhat immoral, ways to profit and do so right under our noses - holding the electorate in contempt. Even Blair, who everyone now cites as a war criminal did actually get a lot of support for the war at the time (conveniently, people have since pretended they were against it, just as one day they'll all pretend not to have supported Boris, the Tories or Brexit).
Even Margaret Thatcher might seem preferable today, and I have no doubt we'd never have caved in to the far right and allowed Brexit to happen.
