I'm surprised the british government hasn't offered Elon Musk a ministerial position. Judging even from his twitter takeover alone he has all the right 'qualifications': greed, egomania, ignorance, bigotry, and lethal incompetence.

Happy one year anniversary of what would eventually be the absolute funniest shit in UK political history.
I hope the lettuce is doing ok

According to twitter rumours, Tory back benchers will try to remove Liz Truss in “weeks” if the economy “doesn’t improve”.
The economy isn’t going to improve. Everyone knew the Truss/Kwarteng strategy was shit. And whilst ordinary people don’t always feel it when the economy does well, trust me, you will be made to feel it during a recession, or if things are just going badly.
In “weeks”, people will have lost their houses. People will have had to chose which of their bills to pay. People will have got in debt. Ordinary people, living pay check to pay check can’t afford to wait and see what happens.
This is just the Tories clinging to power for as long as they want. They know they can’t afford another leadership change soon (probably realistically this side of the next general election). So they will let Truss fuck about for as long as they possibly can. I doubt enough of them have spines to join a Labour vote of no confidence, even if Starmer had the spine to call one.
This is what “democracy” looks like- an idiot is allowed to destroy your life because they believe in a fucked up ideology and a stupid economic strategy. And you just have to suck it up for two years, at least, potentially.
If only there were alternatives, right?

This was aired two days ago lmao
This was followed by a couple jokes from Dara Ó Briain about how the future of Tory leadership ‘literally could be anything’, punctuated superbly (even more so than intended) by Hugh Dennis observing ‘it is a sort of irony that we’ve been cancelled but we’re still likely to survive longer than Liz Truss’.
Our satire pales in comparison to our political reality for sheer absurdity.

liz truss resigned not because she was an incompetent PM, but in fact because taylor swift’s new album is out soon and that’s her bigger priority as a swiftie

Truss is officially the UK's shortest serving prime minister. She got in, killed the monarchy, pound, and conservative party and left.
Thank you comrade Truss ⚒️ fine work
