LIZ TRUSS RESIGNS!  S01 E30 SPECIAL

LIZ TRUSS RESIGNS! S01 E30 SPECIAL

After a tumultuous week in British Politics, in a week from now, we’ll be getting our 4th PM in just five years! Indeed, yet another! In this political drama that makes the House Of Cards look lackluster, recent events can only be described as a clusterfuck, or Trussterfuck, with the British people paying for it, at every turn! The latest incarnation lasted just 45 days in office, which is a new record! It was no surprise to us that Truss wasn’t up to the challenge, what I can’t grapple with is how on earth the Tory party membership were deluded enough to think she would make a success of her premiership, as it seems now, they were the only ones who thought she would. She became so beleaguered, so quickly, one newspaper earlier this week, put up a lettuce,

notorious for a short shelf life, in a ruse to see which would last longer, the lettuce won and seemingly, had more capability!

Truss is entitled, although arguable, to a payout of over £100,000 for her 44 days in office, 10 of which, were spent doing bugger all, whilst the country mourned the passing of the Queen. Should she really be paid this money?

There is no mandate now for this government to continue, yet they cling onto their fading power, rather than looking at the greater need of our country! Our nations institutions, the economy and our standing on the global stage, are all in tatters, because of gross incompetence and arrogance! Now, as the political situation has descended into farce, some within the Conservative ranks want to reincarnate Boris Johnson’s political career, a concept of pure and dangerous delusion!

Now there’s rumor of a possible delay of the fiscal statement that Jeremy Hunt, the latest chancellor, was due to deliver at the end of October.

Can Britain survive? Can we recover our koudos, can we earn back the respect that has been destroyed by the last two PM’s, or arguably all of those who have occupied number 10 Downing Street, since 2010?

As before, the procession of wannabees has begun, in a new contest, for yet another new leader and still not one worthy of attention, we suspect! Candidates, of which I wager there will be many, have to have a minimum 100 MP’s backing them by Monday, in order to go forward to a second round! Has the party become so factionalised that it will find it nigh impossible to coalesce around one candidate, or are we witnessing the destruction of a political institution?

Will any of them receive the backing of one hundred MP’s, which of course, will speak volumes as to the future of the party!

Quote Of the week: Is directed at Tory MP’s, ministers and the like: JFK “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?”

And of course I have the answer, please step aside, whilst we still have a country left!
