Are there any politicians in Westminster who are actually competent and capable of being the UK Prime Minister?
No.
There don't seem to be any that I'd consider to be world class 'statesmen' (I can't think of a gender neutral term). Or even any that would fill a village hall with confidence.
None of the Labour 'names' fill me with confidence; the Tories are a joke; Ed Davey - maybe but his stunts do make me cringe. Zack? Great communicator & visionary but I don't see him as a 'statesman' at the moment.
(Don't even mention the grifting goon in the pocket of Russia)
Heaven help us.
How did we get here?
