FORMER Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has boasted how his drug use and many children qualify HIM for Number 10.
The 46-year-old singer joked how he could “sort this pile of s*** out” ahead of a crunch week in the Tory leadership contest.
Tory MPs will vote in the second rout of the contest to select the next PM today ahead of a live TV debate that will feature the front-runner Boris Johnson. The final two names will then be put to a postal vote of the 160,000 Tory party members, with the winner expected to be announced about four weeks later.
In a tongue-in-cheek tweet written at 7am this morning Liam, who has previously described politicians as “lying b**tards”, said he should be the man to replace Theresa May as PM.
He was transparent about his drug use after Conservative hopefuls Rory Stewart and Michael Gove previously admitted taking opium and cocaine, while Jeremy Hunt said he might have had a “cannabis lassi while backpacking through India”.
Mr Johnson has also admitted taking cocaine when he was a teen in what he claimed was a “single inconclusive event”.
The Slide Away singer tweeted: “My name is Liam Gallagher I have 4 beautiful children I have dabbled in drugs over the years I’ve had many number 1s now send me the keys to no10 I’ll sort this pile of s*it out WHY ME? WHY NOT.”
The 46-year-old added: “ParLIAMent c’mon you know”.
He then joked that the first thing he’d do in power would be to “get Oasis back together…I’d make it law”.
Liam’s reference to his four kids (from four different women) may have been a sly dig at former Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson, who is believed to have five children.
The reaction from many to Gallagher’s apparent late entry into the leadership race has been encouragement.
“Liam for PM!” replied one Twitter use.
Another wrote: “You’d be better than any politician”.
It comes after Liam lashed out at his older brother Noel who raged against the “rise of the c**** trying to get the [Brexit] vote overturned”.
Speaking at the Isle of Wight festival Noel, 52, said he wanted to stay in Europe but accepted the result and labelled the movement against it “a disgrace”.
The Britpop star, who once dined with Tony Blair as part of New Labour’s Cool Britannia, also branded Jeremy Corbyn a “f***ing student debater” and Dianne Abbott “the face of f***ing buffoonery” after declaring “I hate the Labour Party”.
In the latest spat in the long-running feud between the brothers, Liam hit back saying: “Nothing worse than the c*** who doesn’t vote then has an opinion on everything sit down stand up Dolly Gallagher”.
The “Dolly Gallagher” dig was in reference to another insult by Liam two years ago, where he claimed Noel was singing Oasis songs like Dolly Parton.

Earlier this month Liam said former PM David Cameron “wants his bo**ocks f***ing electrocuted” for dividing the country with Brexit.
He said: “I get that everyone is struggling, especially outside of London. But is that to do with Brexit? I don’t know, man. Seems like a load of f***ing bo**ocks to me.”
He added: “I take it with a pinch of salt though, because you don’t know who to trust. I just can’t come to a conclusion without thinking they’re all c***s and I wouldn’t f***ing trust any of them as far as I could throw them. I find them all lying b**tards.”
Liam said he “loved Europe” but went on: “I guess the borders have got to be tightened but all that stuff about going ‘this is my country’, I don’t get that. We all live under one sky. I certainly don’t sit there and go ‘this is my f***ing England, stay out’, but I think we should definitely keep an eye on who’s coming in and out of the country.
“That just makes common sense because you don’t want a load of loony c***s coming in. But good people should be allowed to move and groove wherever they want.”
However Liam did admit he was a fan of “that geezer, the Speaker of the House”.
