The Brits have a new Prime Minister

Pretty sure that's why Parliament chose Liz. So when the eventual calamity happens, a man won't get the blame.

Well, there it is. The UK’s third prime minister in just over three years is Liz Truss.

Boris Johnson, a terminally immoral liar who turned out to be a terminally immoral liar, is no longer in office today.

[...]

[He] left Downing Street this morning after an arrogant, lie-heavy speech, in which he displayed his character development after three years in office – precisely zero. [...] He remains a short king over the water for any number of Conservatives who somehow still yearn to be shackled to a wildly underachieving narcissist who openly despises them.

She's talking about MAGA, in case you missed the "over the water" descriptor.

Elsewhere, This Morning has pivoted its Spin to Win competition in the direction of “full dystopia”, with desperate viewers now offered the chance to have the peppy morning magazine show pay their apocalyptic energy bills.

Nigel Farage has just launched a personal red-white-and-blue gin range – a reminder that 40% proof spirits are the perfect accompaniment to the ongoing fallout of his political philosophy. He says his gin is “a taste of Brexit”; certainly, the blue liquid is the precise shade of the contents of a chemical toilet.

Nevertheless, former Tory leaders have been weighing in with good wishes for Truss. There may well be a day when my reaction to any vanilla interjection from David Cameron is not to shout to an empty room: “You did this! You’re the reason we all live in the upside-down! YOU OPENED THE GATE!”

Truss flew to Balmoral to meet the Queen, who she once wanted to abolish but now finds it more personally convenient to revere.

So maybe she deserves to be blamed for a calamity.

It’s always good when people explain what the Queen’s outfits mean; I assume that today’s choice telegraphed amused relief that she could be the only person spared having to hear Truss butcher a reading from Ecclesiastes at her funeral.

Incidentally, if any of this feels somewhat downbeat, do consider that polls indicate a full 50% of the UK are disappointed that Truss is the new PM, against 22% who say they are very or fairly pleased.

The current bookies’ favourite to replace Liz Truss as Tory leader is … Boris Johnson.

Jesus. Apparently the same virus that attacked the GOP has attacked the Tories. Maybe the World Health Organization should be working on that.

....but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
