Who would really represent and stand up for Britain in Brexit?

Let's not limit it to politicians. If you could send anyone to Brussels to negotiate with the EU who would you send and why?
If she was still with us Mo Mowlam would have run rings round them.
Joanna Lumley could be aristocratic and posh and make them feel they were lucky she even deigned to speak to them.
Any other suggestions?

A team consisting of Trump for sheer bulldozer tactics, the D of E to tell it as it is, with appropriate adjectives and inagery (and intelligence), and Boris to be charmingly bumbling and talk them into agreeing.

imagery not inagery

I saw a link to an article by Michael Heseltine and followed through to read it. Have put the link for those who would like to read his interesting view. Maybe he could be part of the negotiating team - but I know he has said how he loves spending time with his wife and family.

Oh I do like Eddie Izzard, he could wear something very stylish.

Dust down John Major and wheel him out, he talks sense. He led us in so he should have some thoughts on how to find a way out!

He also said during an interview mid election campaign, that the NHS was not safe in Tory hands.

Mandelson?

like him or not he does have experience

Perhaps John Major and Alan Johnson could bring some common sense to the negotiations.
