What Is John Major Doing Now

So, you're wondering, "What's old Johnny Major up to these days?" Well, grab a cuppa, 'cause I've got the skinny on what the former British PM is doing now, and trust me, it's not all tea and crumpets.

From 10 Downing Street to the Cricket Pitch

After stepping down as our PM in '97, Johnny boy didn't just put his feet up and call it a day. Oh no, he's been busier than a bee at a honey convention. First off, he's been flexing his diplomatic muscles, acting as a special envoy for the UK on various global issues. You know, just your average retired PM stuff.

But here's where it gets interesting. Our John's a bit of a cricket nut, and I mean bit is an understatement. He's been known to play a mean game himself, and even managed to score a century (that's 100 runs, for the uninitiated) in his 50s. Now that's what I call a comeback!

From Politics to Punditry

But John's not just about the sport. He's also been lending his political nous to the telly, popping up on shows like Question Time and This Week. He's even had a go at presenting, fronting a documentary on the history of the Conservative Party. Talk about a blast from the past!

And if that wasn't enough, he's been penning his memoirs. Yes, you heard it here first, folks. We're getting an insider's look at the mind of John Major. I, for one, can't wait to find out what he really thought of that time Maggie Thatcher took him to task. Spoiler alert: I'm betting it wasn't all sweetness and light.

From Prime Minister to... Novelist?

But wait, there's more! Our John's been trying his hand at something completely different - writing novels. Yes, you read that right. The man who once steered the ship of state is now navigating the choppy waters of fiction. His first novel, Parliament of Whores, was published in 2019. And guess what? It's a political thriller. Shocking, I know.

Now, I won't spoil the ending for you, but let's just say it involves a rather dramatic resignation speech. Sound familiar, Johnny boy?

From Prime Minister to... Grandpa?

But it's not all work and no play for our John. He's also been enjoying some well-deserved downtime with his family. He's a proud grandpa now, and I reckon he's loving every minute of it. After all, who wouldn't want to trade in the pressures of Number 10 for a spot on the floor playing with building blocks?

So there you have it, folks. John Major might have left the political stage, but he's still very much in the game. And if nothing else, he's proved that there's life after politics - and it's not all doom and gloom. Unless, of course, you're a cricket fan and you're watching England play. Then it's just as depressing as ever.
