Who would be your dream prime minister?

[xedise952]

For me it has to be jack monroe. She spends all her time showing people how to eat on a budget. Amazing thread this morning where she does a whole weeks worth of food for 37p a meal! Imagine if she was in government

Barack Obama

Sadly no John Smith, so Chris Whitty

Judge Judy

with Jordan B Peterson and Miriam Margolyes as side kicks.

@xedise952

Maybe someone can set up a seperate thread for non serious replies.

I'm not seeing the humour in people starving to death

You asked for "dream" PM. Your own suggestion was Jack Monroe, who is not a politician, not standing for election.

What the fuck would a "non serious" response be?

Piers Morgan

Enjoying the juxtaposition of the last two posts

@IchBinAnnaOfCleves

I can only cope with so much gaslighting.

Also OP - have you eaten any of these 37p meals?

Or are you assuming they're okay for other people?

Because word is they're barely edible and not the kind of thing you want to be messing around with when every penny counts.

Might have to be James Blunt as long as he promises not to sing.

He’d certainly make politics more fun, and he can sing to me, I think he’s lovely.

Wouldn't surprise me from what I know, if Jack Monroe was the OP

What a hideous choice. Out and our liar, though, perfect credentials in that case I suppose.

@RedWingBoots I just like people who speak their mind!

Jack Monroe- ooh I’m neither a lady or a man can’t honestly be a serious suggestion.

@Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies

I’m struggling to see how JKR is a joke, when Jack Monroe is a serious suggestion.

Agree.

I'll go with JKR. Or Lady Hale.

@Inchail You mean, washing tinned spaghetti hoops isn't your thing? I mean, why would it be when you can buy a bag of pasta on Lidl for less than 30p.

Prof Dumbledore we need a bit of magic to fix the world

Seriously JKR wouldn't be a bad shout, Ruth Davidson would be good too.

@BingoBungle Harriet Harman is Mother of the House (Longest standing female MP) but will step down from politics soon. Her husband was a MP for Birmingham and died suddeny this year. It was incredibly moving when MPs gave tributes in the House to him (he was a feminst who championed Harriet's work and encouraged many other female MPs.) Their life of public service puts the self-serving current cabinet to shame.

Yvette Cooper can cut through the crap and knows her stuff. I like Jess Phillips and think she will make a good minister but I don't think she has the gravitas for PM.

Lets face it ANYONE is going to look & sound more competent as PM than the current incumbent. Just think of all the intellectual might of previous PMs that had their weekly meetings with the Queen & now she has to put up with this lying toerag.

Lady C

Reading these replies makes me realise some people just wanna watch the world burn

I fifteenth John Smith. The country would be a different place if he'd lived.

Failing that it's unfortunately the rule that as Douglas Adams wrote anyone who wants the job is woefully wrong for it. Power corrupts and the love of power is worse.

Chris Whitty obviously

@5zeds

Chris Whitty obviously

You mean JVT!

"In my opinion the rules are clear and they have always been clear. In my opinion they are for the benefit of all. And in my opinion they apply to all."

Chris Whitty can be the deputy for once.

@Hawkins001

Sir Henry James "Harry" Pearce, KBE (born 1 November 1953 )

We don't need the ins and outs of ardvarks arse.

I second
JKR
Jack Monroe
Russell Brand

Are the people suggesting Jordan Peterson being real? The man cries at EVERYTHING, we can’t have a sobbing PM

My dream team
PM Andy Burnham
Deputy Jess Phillips
Finance Martin Lewis
Environment Caroline Lewis
Women JK Rowling

Then jobs for Zara Sultana, David Lammy, Lisa Nandy, Rory Stewart,

Then have a teacher, a doctor, a nurse etc to run relevant departments

Jurgen Klopp 👍

Sadly Alan Johnson's too old now, and Charlie Kennedy and Mo Mowlam are both too not-alive, so that's my top picks out.

I think I'll go for Hugo the dog, above. Provided Percy, my excellent Labrador can be in cabinet. He's also honourable, fair and decent (although will do anything, literally anything, for a gravy bone).

If the French say 'non' to Macron, can we have first refusal on him?
