Ian DuntJohn Major is a better former PM than Tony Blair will ever be iandunt.substack.com/p/john-major...
Jon PENNYCOOK@iandunt.bsky.social I always thought that Tony Blair tried to copy John Major in some ways (but not in Blair's failings listed in the article)
The Penguin of Evil@iandunt.bsky.social Never agreed with Major's politics but he was the last PM I can think of that actually gave a convincing impression they got up in the morning and actually cared about doing their job for the whole of the UK.
Colm Ó Donnchadha@etchedpixels @iandunt.bsky.social I think the fact Spitting image could only mock him for being boring says a lot
Noodlemaz@etchedpixels @iandunt.bsky.social I dunno, Gordon Brown maybe. But yes, 90s politicians (eta: in power) was the last I respected of them
fdr@iandunt.bsky.social the bar is extremely low
Rupert V/@iandunt.bsky.social He's also a far better former PM than he was a PM. Never particularly minded him as my MP, but I voted against him every time.
