Who would you have for Prime Minister (lighthearted)

[DiscordandRhyme]

Not ATAAT but inspired by one - if you could have any non politician as PM who would you choose and why?

I'd like a comedian like Dara O'Brian or Russel Howard - they are intelligent, funny and seem to have the measure of people.

How about you?

Jackie Weaver 😃

She's an absolute legend and would have all this mess sorted in no time 😎

Richard Osman - likable and intelligent

Ian Hislop.

Martin Lewis - fair, honest and well infomed

Mary Beard

@barrowinfurnessrailwaystation I love how Jackie Weaver just randomly appears on TV shows, it must be really surreal for her but she always seems to hold her own.

I'd prefer any of the suggestions so far to any of our current politicians

Jackie Weaver is the boss for sure!

She wouldn't let no man intimidate her.

Jon Snow from Channel 4 news

Sandy Toksvig or Mark Steel.

Sadly agreed.

I say sadly but all mentioned so far are intelligent people with the right kind of charisma.

Not sure how he would fair, but id be interested in Alan sugar, given the opportunity

Kate Bingham, who did the vaccine rollout. She seems amazing.

Oh, yes, Jackie weaver - heard her interviewed recently, so impressive. We need more like her.

I always thought Ken Clark would have been good, but too old now. We need someone with experience and gravitas, and probably the wisdom that comes with age and a lifetime spent studying politics and international affairs. Not a young single issue politician with no experience beyond Westminster who hasn’t read any history books!

David Attenborough

Is David Attenborough an expert on politics and international diplomacy? I’ve never heard him speak about it? He is undoubtedly wise though!

Bob Mortimer or Kate Bingham who was behind the vaccine roll-out for no pay.

Jonathan Pie, I think he would make a brilliant PM.

Stephen Fry, I'm sure he could hold his own at PMQs

Definitely Ian Hislop. He’d be fantastic.

David Lammy

I'd feel in safe hands with George Monbiot.

Julia Hartley Brewer. Without a doubt.

Clive Myrie

Martin Lewis. Someone who is intelligent and actually cares. I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
