Westminster is buzzing with rumours circulated by political correspondents extremely close to both the governing Conservative Party and the man himself, that Boris Johnson will run to be the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, just 15 weeks since he announced his resignation in July.

Liz Truss announced her resignation Thursday lunchtime, bringing to an end the shortest-ever term of a UK Prime Minister, a withdrawal precipitated by her inability to deliver on her policy programme amid brutal party infighting and what appeared to be a counter-coup against her administration by the pre-Brexit Remainer element inside the party.

Pretty soon the infighting in the British political parties will be between the Hindus and the Muslims.

Britain is completely lost now.

A British friend just informed me that Nigel Farage has moved to start a new political party.

I don't follow British politics very closely, but it was clear from the start that Truss was way in over her head.

Truss quit already? Definitely not an Iron Lady. Wonder what the Queen would’ve said.

Only took 44 days for Truss to reach high water mark of doing her best job possible and now time for diversity change.

Lizz Truss had a tax cut plan, believe 5%. Also price caps and no cuts to spending. Saw Art Laffer, who loved it, and David Stockman, who didn’t, in a bit of sparring over it. Laffer said just wait and see what happens in 6 months. Not even 6 weeks later the tax cuts are gone and she resigned. LOL

Liz Truss could not stand the heat in the kitchen....
She had a mean look about her too.
