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?

JHB or Gove.

I assume whoever said David Lammy was taking the piss.

@dollymuchymuchness

David Lammy

I assume you're joking? 🦖🦖

Do you know anything about David Lammy?

Enough to know a vote for him is a vote against women - and intelligence, sanity

An inanimate carbon rod.

Hugh Grant
Dawn French
Wouldn’t mind Ricky Gervais either

@RovenderKitt

Deborah Meaden

I think Duncan Bannatyne was a better dragon myself

Marcus Rashford? Are you serious, he’s only 24! He’s done great stuff on school dinners but he wouldn’t have the knowledge and experience to be pm!

Marcus Rashford

Deborah Meaden
Yes, good pick.

I will never understand why Tory party members chose the absolutely incompetent lying clown we have in number 10 over Rory Stewart

We have had a 24 year old PM before

In 1783!!

Anyway I am going for Clement Attlee

Agree with a few others - Ian Hislop 100%! He has morals, calls out others’ bullshit and is seriously intelligent.

Neil Oliver

Yes. Let's please start an #ianhislopforPM

Another vote for Ian Hislop.

Oh I do so hope that a member of the HIGNFY production team is a MNetter.

If it has to be a Tory MP I think Jeremy Hunt. Otherwise Keir Starmer would suit me fine.
What have people got against David Lammy?

He’s bought into the women don’t exist schtick.

Chris Whitty.

She is a politician already, so I might be breaking the rules.
The marvellous Caroline Lucas of the Green Party. I don't think I've ever disagreed with anything she's said, but more importantly she seems a decent, helpful, well-rounded person with good integrity and talks a lot of sense.

Jonathan Van-Tam

David Lammy speaks very highly of his wife. What is this about 'women don't exist?'

Oh JVT is a bloody good call.

Chris Whitty - absolutely love him. But he was in the job as CMO because of his medical expertise and compassion. I think being PM would finish him off. It's too cut throat.

Ian Hislop is another good one and a popular vote it seems. It pleases me greatly that folk often tell me he reminds them of my Dad.

@Takeawaytonight

Jonathan Van-Tam

Oof, good call.

I love JVT but he's not at all political.

@dollymuchymuchness

David Lammy

That must be a joke? He's so stupid he thinks men can grow a cervix 🤣

I'd like a trio in charge: the late Mo Mowlam, Ken Clarke and Simon Reeve
