Tawny would be Liz Truss. Immoral, selfish and totally lacking in any empathy. Her party slogan ‘I’m alright Jack’.
Scout would be Boris. Affable. Hopefully not as thick as he appears. Would like to have lots of sex (if he knew what it was).
Pen would be Dominic Cummings. Sneaky, either right behind you or dobbing you in at every turn.
Ffee would be married to Boris and smile prettily when needed. She wouldn’t have an opinion.

Louis would be a minder/thug. Isla would be the one that everyone loves but is too dotty to do much, really that could be any of them! Ghillie would be a Minister but would be sneakily setting people against each other and causing mayhem - she’d then disappear just when you needed her. Rew would be vaguely horrified at the chaos of the Commons and would be hoping for a peerage where he would sleep all day on a warm seat in a gentleman’s club.

Ah yes Brandy could go in the Lords. Her ideal niche.

I think Red IT would be Michael Gove; clearly intelligent but often chasing the wrong objective or partying inappropriately...!! My dog is infinitely nicer than any politician generally though and I would far rather trust him in government than any of the current shower. The fact that he thinks it is ok to lie on a chair for hours (JRM), not listen to what he is told, (any of them) or pursue his own ambitions (any of them), simply signals that we really could have a dog for PM and be no worse off....:p:p

ETA - I mean, an awful lot of people actually like dogs too, so that would possibly be a vote winner with the electorate lol...

Bumbles would be Jeremy Hunt. He's shrewd, cunning, and waits for everyone to fail, stepping up when everyone else has run out of options and popular opinion. Disaster is water off a duck's back. He repeatedly does what everyone hates. In a game of ball he will wait deep field, doing the bare minimum, fetches when it goes his way, but hands it over for the long run back to sucker who is throwing it in the first place.

My little Dachshund puppy Charlie would be an interesting choice for PM:

He basically eats a lot, sleeps a lot - and is a bit like a Baby Crocodile as uses his teeth a lot - a bit of a smiler. When he's not doing that he's obliging "mummy" by producing Wee-Wee's and Poo-Poo's when he's asked to (hopefully outdoors).

He's good at showing his tummy (and his Bits), and loves attention so would be fine for TV & publicity. Also he'd be fine for the resident pussy-cat (whose name currently escapes me) as he's used to playing with ours.

Yep reckon he'd do nicely..........

He sounds made for the job. Scout is also good at showing his bits. They are overqualified, sadly. ?

The Hooligan has many nicknames & one of them is Boris... According to himself he's never done a thing wrong in his whole life, sees no need to apologise for anything, is a horrendous attention seeker with the ego the size of a small country. Blunders through life with a bull in a china shop attitude & genuinely can't see why anyone would think him a pain in the arse. Clown like demeanour does hide a scheming little brain though!

Horrid the cat I'll be honest & say I can't find a fit for. He's an out & out murderous bastard & proud of it. He is in full support of trampling on those he sees as below him & winding up & outsmarting "Boris" is his favourite occupation. He definitely brings the drama if things aren't going his own way & has a full on toddler tantrum over the most minor inconvenience. Sleeps for vast periods of the day before disappearing for hours & popping back up again. *Sigh* I think my cat might be Dominic Cummings which doesn't fill me with too much joy!

I think your cat sounds well qualifiied for the job, more than the humans running. You should see if he can get the 100 MP votes.

Old dog would be Bercow.
Small, bit of a bully/bulldozers people to get his way, shouts a lot. Out of politics now, people just don't get him.

Middle dog would be Rory Stewart, likeable and very friendly, appeals to everyone, but a bit wet.

Little dog would be Angela Rayner. Very shiny hair. Always showing off her legs. Big gob on her and loves a scrap.

My springer is just too polite and well mannered to get involved in politics. My jrt would be very well qualified indeed, can start a fight in a paper bag but then when things get tough he disappears and denies all knowledge. Likes his food, likes his sleep and has a slightly inflated opinion of his own importance. He could ably step up as a deputy to any of them. The cockerpoo pup is just too young, innocent and friendly to show any sign of being any use at all :)

Horrid is still refusing to reveal if he's going to declare or not but he did bring me the remains of a pregnant mouse the other day (aka all the dead babies) to show just far he is willing to go. He went AWOL for about 8 hrs today, came back & ate roughly half his bodyweight in food, indulged in enough dog baiting to get his brother in trouble then went for a 2hr nap under my bed (just in case I got any ideas about that being MY room!)
