Fantasy Caretaker Government

An old expression that I’ve just made up is that the best ideas are those you nick from someone else. This blogpost is one of them.

There is a hashtag on twitter called #FantasyCaretakerGovernment where people have been choosing their fantasy cabinet if Boris Johnson loses a vote of confidence in the House of Commons. Jeremy Corbyn’s handlers have laughably suggested Magic Grandpa himself to lead the country. As soon as I stopped laughing and then crying, I decided to choose my own leaders.

There are no politicians in my top team. I’ve just gone for people I really like who largely seem to be good people and clever. They make me feel better, too.

Here then, is my fantasy cabinet. Got to be better than Johnson v Corbyn, hasn’t it?
