No, he was PM by then, having left a job for which he was most suited for one which he was least. Sadly.

[albionalba]

JKR for PM.
Able to totally nail her day job brilliantly whilst sticking to her wider principles and fending off social media / online nutters with ease. I'd trust her to choose the rest but it would be good to have a DCMS minister that genuinely liked football like Delia Smith.
