    1:03 "a large garden, perfect for entertaining." Damn, Sky News getting in on the shade.
  • Boris Johnson would probably be welcome in the Peppa Pig franchise.

    1:23 Larry the cat has deservedly outstayed everyone... Poor Larry, we owe him the title of PM for life! The true MVP!

    I still laugh about May‘s last speach, and her crying, but meanwhile I have to hand her that, she at least showed passion and love for what she was doing, not saying she did it right or wrong, but at least she was passionate

    Pursue wealth in the private sector. Everyone knows that.
  • @robertyoung8785
    They leave , and go on to make millions , are we supposed to feel sorry for them.
  • @AllenMQuinn
    Liz Truss is probably watching this today and taking notes.

  • @kenmay1572
    Brown and May seems to be the only exPM's with any decency and empathy
  • Now I understand why politics is definitely a career and attracts the highly ambitious, mostly not for actually serving your country.
  • @mjkrbjcw
    Imagine going for a job interview & having Ex-Prime Minister on your C-V 😁
  • @Steven-fv8xw
    may is still an MP. and she still serves in the parliament every day.
  • @Soshiaircon91
    The biggest perk is to have a party in your backyard during the pandemic restrictions.
  • @tx5190
    Boris could always resurrect Bill Maynard's TV character, Selwyn Froggitt.
  • I am a socialist so naturally I really dislike the Tories but even I feel bad for Theresa May. Unlike some (cough cough Boris) she actually respected the job and the honour and responsibilities it comes with. I almost feel like, since Brexit has gone through, she should try again, I mean how hard can it be to get your job back from a guy who thinks it's normal for the PM & staff to be drunk at a businesses meeting.

    Especially after having been on the bloody job for 6 weeks!
  • @MrAvant123
    Have cash thrown at them by both private and public sector -- at least thats what happened to Tony Bliar.
  • @redoctober6521
    There’s an excellent chance that BoJo will dye his hair red and go work for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as his assistant…
  • @HifiByLeon
    This was actually interesting. Can’t wait for bojo to go
  • They find other ways to steal a living. Like speaking at conferences where they mostly say uninteresting stuff.
