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

Andy Burnham

I'd have thought considering Jack Monroe for prime minister is a joke! I wouldn't vote her in for many reasons!

I'm not sure if why Yvette Cooper isn't prime minister already (well I do know, but you know what I mean) although she's far from my dream candidate.

If we're talking random people Dermot O'Leary. He looks good in a suit.

@PoseyFlump

If this thread is anything to go by then someone should tell Rory Stewart he needs to switch back to labour!

But I'm sticking with King of the North Andy Burnham.

I think that RS is too much of a free thinker for party politics, really. Cats who walk their own walk seem rarer and rarer.

Good though that a posh boy Old Etonian politico went to one meeting of the Bullingdon Club and never returned, because of the behaviour he had witnessed. It says a lot about those who are still so proud to have been part of it.

I actually think Michael Portillo would have been a great prime minister

Doreen Lawrence

It’s taxable earnings. As is being on TV, doing deals with food companies and all the tips she gets online from her followers.

JKR sells books and pays taxes.

Jack Monroe!?!?! What, the ‘activist’ who hasn’t paid her company taxes for nearly 3 years?! Yeah sure, great example….

If we’re thinking celebrities I agree with the PP suggestion of Ian Hislop, I reckon he’d do a good all round job as PM.

Hard no to Jack Monroe, unless you want all her speeches to go the way of her Twitter rants which is “I want to buy a big house, donate to me”

Baroness Floella Benjamin - kind, positive, works on many issues and would be an absolutely amazing pm.

Jess Phillips please no not ever. Jackie Weaver would be my choice

Steph McGovern would be my choice!

Absolutely!

Me - I reckon I'd give it a better shot than Boris or any of the recent lot.

For some reason my quote didn't work.

Jackie Weaver for prime minister! 😁

Surely it has to be david Attenborough? Or if he's too old then david tennant

Good call! I love her.

Jack monroe would only be a good choice if it was a straight vote between her and the incumbent. And even then it's not a great option. She is not all she would like us to see her as.

I like Yvette Cooper. Or if we're going for fantasy of course JKR.

There was nothing wrong with Gordon Brown IMO.

Are we allowed to say Barack Obama? It would be hilarious and fantastic all at once.

@Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies

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

And just why is jack monroe not serious? Because she's a working class hero and LGBTQ?

Dermot!

Jack is not working class and definitely not a hero. Do your research!

@FairyCakeWings

I’d be happy with JK Rowling, and I’d hope she’d have David Attenborough, Stephen Fry, Martin Lewis and Ed Balls in her cabinet.

Jack Monroe is bloody awful.

Bloody awful for helping loads of people eat well on a budget and for constantly fighting for the people that are left behind and starved by the Tories all while they give their friends millions

I'd be happy to have Tony Blair back.

@LynetteScavo

There was nothing wrong with Gordon Brown IMO.

I agree. Brown was a much better politician than he gets credit for.

Not sure why JKR was thought to be a joke. She’d be great
