So, just to summarise

UK Prime Minister Liz Truss fired her Chancellor, replacing him with a man dragged back from political obscurity where he’d languished since his success in uniting the entirety of the NHS in their hatred of him. A man who is his own rhyming slang...

Then her Home Secretary fired off a series of increasingly bizarre and hateful tweets and other public statements, complaining about the police encouraging people to report transphobic hate crimes and [checks notes] how the “tofu-eating, Guardian-reading wokerati” are ruining the UK.

She then did something that broke security protocols and quit with the saltiest resignation letter I’ve seen in a while.

In the meantime, the Health Secretary talked about how she wanted to make antibiotics available over the counter and how she’s often shared “spare” antibiotics with friends. (Incidentally, this is a great way to encourage medically resistant bacteria – diabolical notion.)

Then the Chief Whip resigned. Then unresigned. Apparently. It’s all becoming a bit of a blur.

Then Liz Truss had a big shout in Parliament about how she’s not a quitter.

Then she quit less than 24 hours later.

This is all in the last week, by the way. It’s like a bloody soap opera.

In the meantime, among the potential runners for leader of the Conservative Party we get to include Boris Bloody Johnson who, let’s not forget, lost the confidence of his ministers and party, and still has criminal investigations pending for having partied, presumably using our tax money, while the rest of us stayed away from loved ones to keep them safe.

But it’s okay, because we Got Brexit Done. And Liz Truss, after 44 days in office, gets a £115,000 pension every year FOR LIFE for having been Prime Minister. All this while nurses can’t afford to heat their homes and have to rely on foodbanks to feed their families. Rank obscenity.

To summarise a bit further:

We are SO SCREWED. And a literal lettuce in a wig lasted longer than Liz Truss.

Some favourite tweets from the last 24h because I knew Truss would be a disaster but good god if i didn't underestimate the utter contemptuous incompetence of this so called cabinet

It’s been 22 days.

And most of that time has been national mourning for Queen Liz

I just don’t understand how Truss and Kwarteng could have fucked the country up so badly in such a short time.

In this week's episode, the Doctor has to deal with a broken-down bus which becomes heavily damaged when Liz Truss throws the Chancellor under it.

Tories Without Privilege…

Whilst this would be karma and just really fucking funny, I doubt any of these overprivileged workshy sociopaths would learn anything from the situation.

Kwarteng and Truss saying “We get it and we have listened” to announce their tax u-turn is the most condescending, cringy, bad faith shite. It’s like the ads on every bus stop in the UK where some corporation says “hey, we know the cost of living is rocketing and you’re trying to decide which of the kids to sell first but we’re on your side! buy our stuff”. Don’t piss on us and try and sell us umbrellas. And when you read the media it seems to come from a parallel reality where everything is fine. This country feels like a wobbling house of cards, maybe like being in Timișoara in ‘89 or Berlin in ‘90.
