Here’s an idea. Maybe we should make Sir Rod Stewart prime minister and let him run the country? Sir Rod has revealed his secrets hobby is building model utopian cities – full of elegant skyscrapers, cool bridges and lush green spaces – to sit alongside his model train sets. “When I take on something creative I have to give it 110 per cent,” he says. The party leaders are asking us to imagine their own forms of Arcadia. Boris Johnson is promising us a paradise of green energy jobs and a points-based immigration system. Jeremy Corbyn, meanwhile, is offering up a Shangri-La where we only work four days a week and the gender pay gap is a thing of the past. But with the two party leaders getting yelled at everywhere they go, is our angry electorate too cynical to believe in a land of milk and honey? I’m Adam Forrest, and welcome to The Independent’s daily Inside Politics briefing.
