Be the Prime Minister for a day or two...What would do?
Discussion
Milkyway Sr always advised me never to get involved in conversations about Politics or Religion... & for many decades I heeded his advice.
I have always said, that I wouldn’t or couldn’t do that job, but in our minds we all have our own agendas.
So, if you had that ultimate power for a while... what would you TRY and do?
Update; Extended stays may be permitted...

Let them feel the private sectors pain for once, without an endless pot of public cash propping up their wastage,
Thanks.
I’d do similar with the Local Councils, de woke the education system and any charities involved in political lobbying would have their charitable status revoked.
Basically reverse or eradicate all of Tony Blair’s legacy - devolution, the Supreme Court and Universities would once again become places of excellence rather than mediocrity.

Have a referendum on state pensions and the NHS.
Pensions: do you want to fund your state pension.
YES: Ni stays same for all and you get a pension in your 60s
No: NI is cut for thoes under 40, but you will not get any pension at 67 use extra cash to fund your own or spend it now over 40 still have to pay an get a state pension.
NHS: would you like it to fund all things as it does now, tax will have to carry on rising to maintain this.
Would you like a tax cut but prescriptions are no longer free, GP appointments have a cost upfront, A and E has a charge.
Others might word it better. Let people decide how they want billions spent but make clear the consequences

Re-join the EU.
Sort child hunger.
Give Rashford a knighthood.
Give Harry and Megan an annual allowance from the public purse.
Introduce a ton of tougher laws around racial and sexual harassment.
Announce an amnesty for people crossing the Channel in small boats.
Sit back and watch NP&E implode knowing my work is done

Having said that, my suggestion was going to be "Offer early retirement to all civil servants over 57". Then, after my 2 days as PM, I'd take the offer. Happy days.
I would introduce some new motoring laws:
(1) Have the Highways Agency Traffic Wombles in their large 4x4s physically sideways ram any MLM when they should have moved over. Education hasn't worked, threats of fines haven't worked, so direct action it is.
(2) Work out a sensible law/solution to queuing/merge in turn.
(3) New £1,000 fines for drivers who cross chevrons at the last minute to exit or pass Red X's.
(4) Just have a general law against antisocial driving. I'd post video evidence on PH and there would be a 24hr window to vote on guilt and penalties.

Make myself Supreme Ruler for life for a start.
Build statues of myself.
Banish b
hstewie to a remote island for his post above.
Claim to have secret files proving the moon landings were faked.
Build some man made mountains higher than the Alps to boost tourism.
Turn Firle Place into an off road track.
Institute a thorough, no excuses lockdown for people who want tougher Covid restrictions, giving them a 1 hour per day window to leave home for essential shopping and exercise while wearing masks and showing their vaccine passports. Let everyone else get on with life.

Being PM for two days means the only changes you can achieve are ones with acceptance across the whole of parliament. Topics which unite the electorate and all the political parties:
- standardise crisp packet colours (S+V = blue, obviously)
- criminalise making a call on speaker while holding the phone horizontally away from your chin
- prospective buyers of range rover sport models must pass an exam in aesthetics and beauty at the courtauld institute
- all TV 'personalities' roles to be for 12 months only and appointed using an x-factor style annual competition
