With Prime Minister Boris Johnson officially resigned as leader of the Conservative Party, the question of who his replacement is going to be lingers on everyone’s mind.

His resignation follows a series of scandals, most recently being his promotion of Chris Pincher who is now facing allegations of sexual misconduct.

More than 50 MPs and ministers have resigned in protest.

Currently, discussions suggest that Boris will continue with his role as prime minister until a new leader of the Conservative Party has been elected.

We asked News Shopper readers who their favourite replacement for Boris Johnson would be.

Most of the responses are pretty humorous, but does your idea of a brilliant Prime Minister sit on this list?

The News Shopper readers suggested:

1. “Larry - he would certainly do a better job.” (For those who don’t know, Larry is Downing Street’s well-loved cat.)

2. “Keir Starmer.”

3. “Piers Morgan.”

4. “Boris number one.”

5. “Mr Bean.”

6. “Mr Blobby.”

7. “Jim Davidson.”

8. “Martin Lewis in an ideal world.”

9. “Obama.”

10. “Let's just run the world ourselves we would do a better job.”

11. “Nigel Farage.”

12. “Not Gove or Patel.”

13. “Richard Branston.”

14. “Rev Richard Coles.”

15. “I could give it a go I suppose.”
