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?

Yes I've just read about David Lammy. I used to like him.

Lee Mack?

Martin Lewis

Brian Blessed, he should be able to get everyone attention.

Steve Backshall because he's brave with scary shit.

Having had the 'pleasure' of meeting Ian Hislop in a professional capacity I absolutely would not want him in power 🥴 Martin Lewis gets my vote

Anyone with the intelligence, skill and experience to do a good job
a - wouldn't touch it it a barge pole
b - doesn't have the ego

Martin Lewis or Ian Hislop would be my choices.

Mo Mowlem would have been great

Jeremy Clarkson with out a doubt.

@Sittinginthesand

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!
That's the point, the current lot have bags of "knowledge" allegedly and look what a shower of shit they are.

Konstantin Kisin.

If it could be a politician, Miriam Cates.

mjf981 · 06/03/2022 06:51

I actually think Keir Starmer would make an excellent PM
Sandi Toksvig is a good shout though too

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 06/03/2022 07:01

@LightsoftheNorth That's not true about the cervix comment surely?Shock

saddowizca · 06/03/2022 07:22

Keir Starmer, Rory Stewart, Mo Mowlam and yy to Caroline Lucas

CovidCorvid · 06/03/2022 07:29

Rory Stewart seeing as he’s no longer a politician.

No, thank you 😂

It is a shame all the seemingly decent politicians never become leaders, I think thats really interesting.
