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

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

- Free travel and accommodation
- Former Prime Ministers are entitled to a pension based on half of their annual salary at the time of leaving office
- They can also obtain a Public Duties Cost Allowance, which allows them to ‘meet the continuing additional costs because of their special position in public life’. This is not obtainable if they are the Leader of the Opposition. The limit is currently set at a maximum of £115,000.
- Is able to reside at 10 Downing Street in London, as well as use of the official country house of Chequers in Buckinghamshire
- Use of the Prime Ministerial cars, which include custom-built Jaguars.

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.

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.
