Hahahahaha nah no thanks

Kenneth Clarke

Awwww, another person who's been seduced by a posh accent.

Will this forelock tugging ever end I wonder?

PavlovianLunge · 25/01/2019 18:39

Danny Dyer.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is an unredeemable arsehole who would wreak havoc on the disadvantaged and poor.

Donald Trump

jesus chrust no! Rees Mogg .akes my skin crawl. He's like a throwback to the 80s. We need someone with a modern approach, nit some sexist dinosaur.

TheExtraGuineaPig · 25/01/2019 18:41

Rees-Mogg? This has to be a wind up surely. Assuming I don't have to have a Tory I'll have Yvette Cooper. If I have to have one it'll be Sarah Wollaston

@DionneB
Out of interest what do you think makes JRM good?

He wanted to return control to parliament.
Now parliament is exercising that control he wants the queen to dissolve it she won't as she's heard of Charles First

He wants to reduce the UK's air quality rules to those of India

He agrees with workhouses for those who are homeless

He is relaxed about all UK agriculture going to the wall

He says the UK is great, but has moved his company funds to the RoI

Yvette Cooper

CormoranStrike · 25/01/2019 18:46

I’m going back in time a bit:

John Smith
David or Ed Miliband

From the current cohort - have not got a scooby, Ken Clarke from Tories maybe.

Can’t think of a strong Labour contender.

Yika · 25/01/2019 18:46

Yvette cooper for me too. Really admire (and trust) her.

StoorieHoose · 25/01/2019 18:47

Ah John Smith. I don’t think we would be in the shit we are now if he lived to be PM

1MillionSelfiesTakenByMyKids · 25/01/2019 18:47

Kirsty Blackman. SNP.
Actually seems to have some integrity which would make a nice change

O4FS · 25/01/2019 18:47

Yvette Cooper.

I stupidly voted for Corbyn, am so annoyed with myself. If she was up for leadership I might consider re-joining.

Lexilooo · 25/01/2019 18:49

Anyone who will stop this madness!

Ken Clarke? Yvette Cooper? Vince Cable? Somebody please stop this!

MiceSqueakCatsMeow · 25/01/2019 18:49

Barack Obama.
Professional, caring, intelligent, organised, respectful, responsible...
He'd sort out the mess that is Brexit.

Wheeesht · 25/01/2019 18:49

If I have to go for a Tory I'll pick Ken Clarke or maybe Justine Greening.

Labour I'll plump for Yvette Cooper or maybe David Lammy.

Dead people - David Bowie.

Yvette Cooper, she seems to be the only one talking any sense!

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 25/01/2019 18:51

Hugh Grant!

KarineAimee · 25/01/2019 18:53

David Lammy

MuttleyLaugh · 25/01/2019 18:53

calpop don’t you mean a throwback to the 1880s? A vastly rich man who’s said he finds the rise in food bank use ‘uplifting’, he opposes abortion even in rape cases, opposes gay marriage, and that’s even before you get on to the lies about Brexit being wonderful. JRM makes my skin crawl.

WrongKindOfFace · 25/01/2019 18:55

Rees-Mogg? I hope you’re (very) independently wealthy.

fluffiphlox · 25/01/2019 18:55

Yvette Cooper
Keir Starmer
Vince Cable
