I guess Truss just did not have enough support.
So much for PM’s named after medical appliances.

Governments are falling everywhere.
What a converging and calamitous time to be living in.

Just 6 weeks. And we’ve had a demented President for 2 years and nobody seems to mind.

Yes, Bloody Mary was perhaps the worst monarch England ever had. People were hung, burnt at the stake, drawn and quartered, and tortured to death just for worshipping God different than her....................

Minor point:

...just for worshiping the same God differently than she did.

Being a “young acolyte” of Kaiser Klaus didn’t help.

I wouldn’t be so fast on that. Rising inflation would likely be that kind of harsh reality for Labour hopes and schemes. Jeremy Corbyn would have been just as much or even that more so of a disaster as May, Johnson, and Truss were and for that common reason that wokeism and political correctness always result in policy disasters. I would like to see what kind of opportunity UKIP and Farage have in all of this.

Biggest mistake the Tories ever made was choosing Heath over Enoch Powell.
