This prime minister allowed for the invasion of Egypt and the start of the Anglo-Egyptian war, deferring to Spencer Cavendish. The Hawarden Kite was a tactic where this politician deliberately leaked their support for Irish home rule and ultimately led to this politician losing their position to Lord Salisbury when this politician’s Government of Ireland Bill lost the support of 93 MPs of their own liberal party. This politician was prime minister when the first secret ballots in England were cast and this politician served as Chancellor of the Exchequer during the American Civil War, supporting the CSA. This man’s popularity during his second term plummeted when he failed to save General Gordon in Sudan. For ten points, name this four time prime minister who seemed to not like Disraeli very much.
