The UK faces the prospect of a new Prime Minister selected from a list that is packed with entirely unsuitable candidates:
Candidate | Reason |
Boris Johnson | Mr Johnson is facing a private prosecution over claims he deliberately lied during the Referendum campaign. Mr Johnson is reported to have replied: “Fuck business.” |
Michael Gove | I think the people in this country have had enough of experts. Stabbed Boris Johnson in the front during the previous leadership campaign. |
Jeremy Hunt | Messed up security contracts at the Olympics. Hated by the NHS. Can’t remember which country his wife is from. |
Andrea Leadsom | “Being a mother gives me an edge on May” Withdrew from ballot versus May |
Ester McVey | Misled parliament over the new Universal Credit scheme |
Dominic Raab | Surprised that Britain is an island |
There are other candidates (and more will appear over the next few days).
