And you get a call this evening. A prominent position, much more than you would have expected at this stage in your career, do you:

  • Snatch his hand off - what a great opportunity?
  • Run a mile, there's nothing to be gained and everything to lose from being close to Johnson at this stage in his career?
  • Easy decision, no matter how much I want the job, I'm not being wheeled out to defend the indefensible on a regular basis?

-What a great opportunity to really make a difference and donimportant work, no matter who I'd be working for?

  • Accept reluctantly for the experience?
  • Something else?

Something else!

Hopefully a bit of honesty about anything they were asked and see how long it took to be sacked.

Something else.

You don't have to be in the cabinet initially to progress to the top job. Cameron came from the back benches.

Something else- review your life choices and try to figure out why the fuck you became a Tory and why you hate your fellow countrymen and women so much.
Change your political views.

Say you're flattered and will discuss it with your spouse. Then wait and see which way the wind blows. Due Fucknado is the direction I expect.

so far the Tories represent me more than the other parties, I don’t have a political allegiance, I’m a floating voter, and I’ll be voting for the the party that doesn’t erase me.

run a mile from toxic brand Johnston.
