The new socialist government will see that as not enough of a contribution from “those with the broadest shoulders”. There is nothing the mediocrity of Middle England likes more than other people paying tax.

Alan prefers golf shirts to T-shirts, although he is in denial about how bad his paunch looks. He is toying with voting Reform like others in his four ball. They like their weekly chats, because no-one there calls Alan racist for saying what he thinks, when what he thinks is bloody good English common sense.

The key to being a great Prime Minster from this list is to get out quickly, as can be seen from Mrs Thatcher, who is accepted as the greatest to ever hold the role.
