Jeremy Clarkson has once again pulled no punches with his verdict on the current Labour government following yet another week of headlines surrounding the country’s leading MPs.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, for instance, found herself on the front pages after she was spotted enjoying a vape while on a canoe ride during some downtime away from Westminster.

PASuggesting the government should worry less about looking relatable with the general public, Mr Clarkson suggested: “What we need is leaders with some personal experience of running a company.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a corner shop or even a paper round. Just something that tells us they have a basic understanding of the concept that you earn a certain amount of money, and then that’s how much you can spend.”
Mr Clarkson claimed the “problem” with the current Labour front bench is that none of them “has ever started or run a business and, as a result, none of them understand it”.
He continued: “They genuinely think that they can spend whatever they like on whatever hare-brained scheme they’ve come up with that week and that we will be happy to pay for it, because we know their dad was a tool maker.

AMAZON“This means we can relate to them. But I don’t want to relate to the Prime Minister.
“He or she shouldn’t be like you or me. They should be a bit weird. A bit of a swot.

It’s not the first time in recent days that Mr Clarkson has spoken publicly about the state of leadership in Number 10, with the former Top Gear host directly responding to a probe about himself possibly venturing into politics.

“Once the farm is finished, will you have time to run for the position of British Prime Minister?” the X user asked.
Farms are never finished. Unless the Labourites confiscate them.
