As we know, at the moment there is a good deal of media chatter about possible replacements for Sir Keir Starmer as UK Prime Minister. A number of people have been suggested, such as Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham, but it is worth considering other possibilities.

Pays no attention to any moans, madness and wrangling at all.

A win!
