(Lighthearted)

I've just seen this on FB and thought I'd ask here:

"If you could pick anyone (not an MP) who would you chose as our new PM"?

DH suggested Gregg Wallace,
I’m torn between Craig Revel Horwood and Miriam Margolyes. We both want realistic approach without empty promises.
DD suggested Daddy Pig. I think she’s got a point if we are aiming for compassionate
conservative government.

Kevin McCloud - not because I like him particularly but for the faces he could pull when ministers or opposition wanting spending - can apply the Grand Designs lessons
It will take longer than you think,
it will cost more than you think,
you should consult experts
use experts for the important jobs
Don’t use that much to the budget on one tiny aspect of your project
plan for change (new baby due before build ends)?
If there is a house there already it’s probably cheaper to renovate then knock the whole lot down

He actually endorsed the Green Party in 2015 so might do something for the environment

Another vote for Hugh Grant

Mick Lynch, absolutely no contest and in the cabinet...Martin Lewis, JK Rowling, Caroline Lucas, Brian Cox, David Attenborough, someone as education minister who knows the value of play and nurturing for all kids ( but can't think of anyone).

Ooh yes good choice! Maybe Tanya Byron (kids’ psychologist who appears on TV) for education minister?
