I looked him up on YouTube and found videos of him calling his Chinese wife Japanese, in front of the Chinese Foreign Minister.

It’ll be a niche pub quiz question now: who was PM when Queen Elizabeth II died?

Lettuce not be too hasty in assuming she'll leaf in an orderly fashion.

I don’t think Truss ever actually got in touch with any of the devolved administrations.

They chatted about the EIIR funeral, I think Sturgeon said, but nothing else.

(It's actually all a plot by CIIIR to clock up as many PMs as his mother, I think. Start hard, start fast...)

And now there are rumours of Boris Johnson running to take over as PM again...with some MPs flat-out threatening to leave the party if he does.

Saying that is easy but...well, At this point, fuck it. Go Boris, run! Burn it all to the ground!

The pound rose when Truss said she'd be resigning.

If anything's a damning condemnation of your economics, it's the fact that you quitting helped.

Jesus, Boris is threatening a return.

At this point I'm pretty depressed there's not mass protests. Only 1/5 people still support the government according to polls, but people are still sitting around going "Yeah, but... I can't be arsed really"

When party #1 has -52% approval rating and party #2 has -18% approval rating it's not hard to see why. If we had an actual opposition instead of neolibs vs neolibs the sheer vacuum of government competence we've seen wouldn't be possible. It's like we are the government of Austria-Hungary or the Ottoman Empire in the turn of the 20th century. Everyone wanted both dissolved, but both persisted because no one agreed what should come after

Though I will say, the fact that your parties can get sick of a leader and chuck the moron overboard is arguably the first time I've ever envied y'all.
