For the carnage - Miriam Margolyes or Julie Walters :mmm:

Joanna Lumley would be good in an international crisis

I'd personally vote for Sue Perkins

Gordon Ramsay was a good shout.

Maybe Simon Cowell as well then if we’re following that trend.
I don’t know if Beth Rigby from Sky News counts but yeah her as well
Also, surprised Joe Lycett or Martin Lewis hasn't been mentioned already

OMG, I love Miriam - she'd be hilarious as a prime minister. I also think Joanna Lumley would be a great one!

I love Joe, though I don't think he'd take it very seriously lol, but Martin Lewis would probably make a positive difference.
If we are following the trend David Walliams - as it would be a joke and just pure chaos in my opinion lol

In what sense?
In what sense?

He's only really a celebrity because he was in government to begin with. So doesn't really count in that sense.
Plus, who wants him back. Better not start a debate here though lol.

I really only support him over Labour at the moment. But I was disappointed when he planned to resign - I hoped he’d have a little more resilience. I think he did do a good job while he was there - and that too much blame is on him for economic woes when it’s Truss, Covid, Brexit and the Tories being stupid mainly.
