From Scylla to Charybdis
Former Bank boss Mark Carney considering running to succeed Canada’s Trudeau
Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney is considering entering the race to succeed Justin Trudeau as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party.
Mr Carney – who headed up Britain’s central bank between 2013 and 2020 – said he was mooting the move following the resignation of Mr Trudeau after nine years as prime minister amid a mounting loss of support from both within his party and across Canada.
In a statement to the Financial Times newspaper, Mr Carney said: “I’ll be considering this decision closely with my family over the coming days.”
Possibly an unfair post title, even Carney may manage to be less ghastly than the ridiculous Trudeau.

OK, Carney may have been wrong when he predicted a UK recession within 6 months of the Brexit vote, but let's see if he can do convincing blackface before writing him off.
Sam - that would be a fine test, he could try it out on his first TV interview. I'd watch that.
I think 'blackface' could be making a comeback.
Tammly - I hope not.
