He's the logical choice. I can imagine some of his policies.

To save public money all public lavatories will be closed with immediate effect. Citizens will be encouraged to defecate freely outdoors in designated streets.

Train and bus capacity will be increased significantly by allowing people to ride on top.

Imports of expensive medication for the NHS will be stopped. Instead cow dung will be imported from India as a remedy for all diseases.

Russian fighter jet fired missile near British spy plane – London​

A Russian Su-27 fighter jet fired a missile near a British Boeing RC-135 reconnaissance plane over international waters in the Black Sea, Defense Minister, Ben Wallace told Parliament on Thursday. According to Wallace, the missile release was accidental and Moscow blamed it on a technical malfunction.

The run-in between the spy plane and the fighter jet occurred on September 29. Following the incident, London temporarily suspended patrols and expressed concerns to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, Wallace noted.

“A reply by the Russian Minister of Defense on the 10th of October, stated that they have conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the incident and stated it was a technical malfunction of the Su-27 fighter,” he revealed, adding that Moscow “acknowledged that the incident took place in international airspace.”

More rumours that Shanghai's party boss, Li Qiang, is leading the race to become premier

  • Leading the race for China’s next premier is Shanghai party boss Li Qiang, but he has never served as vice-premier, as tradition demands
Shanghai party chief Li Qiang has bounced back from his flawed handling of a coronavirus outbreak in the financial hub to emerge as the front runner in the race for China’s next premier, the Post has learned.
Sources said Li Keqiang, 67, would opt for full retirement instead of staying on in the seven-member Politburo Standing Committee – the party’s top decision-making body – and taking up another state position.
The choice of his replacement would hinge on the fate of his committee colleague Wang Yang, who is of the same age – as age still matters when Beijing decides whom to retain and whom to let go.
Sources said that Li Qiang, who has a strong track record in developing technology and the new economy, also leads the race to become the new premier.
