A little light relief on a Friday afternoon. It's been a bit of a Prime Ministers Who Never Were day on the Biteback blog today - but who can resist?
Two weeks ago we put your imaginations to the test and asked you to come up with scenarios of Prime Ministers who never were off your own bat.
Here are a couple of things you came up with:
20 October, 2003: Tony Blair’s heart attack caused chaos. Caretaker PM Prescott declared both he and Chancellor Brown unsuitable for highest office. On 1 November, Labour MPs chose Jack Straw as Leader. 
Brown left Parliament and became USA banking regulator.
Straw’s first act was to withdraw UK forces from Iraq, declaring from his famous Blackburn Market soapbox, “six months is long enough”. His 2003 Queen’s Speech created a pure Finance Ministry and moved Treasury policymaking into the new “First Lord’s Office” at No. 10.
Promising to exit Afghanistan, Straw easily won the 2004 General Election. After victory in 2005’s Euro-entry referendum, Straw and Finance Minister David Miliband re-designed and strengthened the currency system. Their reforms protected the EU from 2008’s American Banking Crash which forced President Gore from office. Straw became UN Secretary General at the 2009 General Election. Incoming PM David Miliband called him our greatest Leader since Churchill.
And if Prime Minister Straw wasn't enough to whet your appetite, what about Prime Minister Davis? Interesting...
The media’s infatuation with David Cameron’s 2005 Conservative Party conference speech helped prevent the favourite, David Davis, from winning the leadership. Had the speeches of the two been portrayed a little differently, Davis may well have won.
In opposition, Davis benefits from his popular stances on Europe and civil liberties. With UKIP soft-pedaling in many seats, the Tories win 307 seats in the 2010 general election. Owing to his refusal to countenance any possibility of voting reform, the Tories form a minority government. As prime minister, Davis’ doubts over climate change provide ample opportunity for ridicule and, struggling to get much done, he calls another election. Labour’s slogan – ‘The Tories haven’t changed’ – is hugely effective, but Labour themselves still haven’t recovered their popularity. The Lib Dems break the 100-seat barrier, and, wooed by a referendum on proportional representation and the prospect of Vince Cable becoming Chancellor, form a ‘progressive coalition’ with Labour.
I will be contacting the winners of our PMs Who Never Were competiton shortly - congrats! A copy of Francis Beckett's latest book is on its way to you!
