Channel Four is recording a fun new show before Nadine Dorries flogs it off. Make Me Prime Minister features Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s famous spin doctor, and Baroness Warsi, former Tory party chair, putting plucky members of the public through their paces to see if they’ve got what it takes to get to Downing Street. It’s billed as the Apprentice meets The Thick Of It. Cannot wait!
One person who may want to tune in, and who is the most obvious person in Britain right now with an actual real-life shot at becoming Prime Minister, is Sir Keir Starmer. When you look at the last few months of polls, the local election results in May plus last Thursday’s win for Labour in Wakefield, the prospect of Starmer making it to Downing Street is not all in the realms of fantasy.
