Statement expected shortly after departures of top ministers and evaporation of political authority

Lmao 45 days. Superb democracy lassy

She took out the queen, the pound and the conservative party in just one month. My respects to her

Lettuce wins

Things that have outlasted Liz Truss:

  • Lettuce (as is widely known)
  • Pasteurised milk (about 200 days)
  • Dragonflies (about 120 days)
  • Pope Benedict IX (who abdicated after 52 days to marry his cousin)
  • Plutonium-237 (Half-life 45.2 days)
  • Multicellular life if the entire history of the universe was compressed into a year (about 60 days)
  • Nights on Venus (58 Earth days)

Hah, he became a huge troll nowadays. Replacement of V.V. Zhirinovsky in russian panopticum

Was literally coming here to post this same meme

The system that put her in place, however, remains. This stepping down of the talking head is not enough. Nowhere near enough.

Exactly. So Liz basically performed her function and was put back into the toy box. Now we will get a new talking head, who will do the same.

Jeremy Corbyn. A socdem at best in the UK.

Yea i wish. Unfortunately Corbyn is just a boring SocDem, and you know what that one Georgian man said about socdems

Stalin v2 talking about socdems

I got a better question. Countries basically live and die on trade. What does England have to offer? What do they have that people want that folks likely cant get anywhere else cheaper and from a lesser asshole?

What can Corbyn realistically do when England has burned so much of its good will?

That sauce nobody can say the name of?

Turnips, parsnips, lettuce, soooo many useful commodities produced in the uk

What the UK has to offer 💂‍♂️

They have the…

Bri’ish Tea Time

What does England have to offer?

Nothing. It’s a renter country, the parasite floating on a huge sea of financial capital.

Aside from the City of London I have no idea really. But I’m sure the rest of the country is not utterly useless either, so something should be possible I guess.

England’s massive benefit is that they left the EU. Should a real leftist leader with ideas of leftist reform take charge, they will not be hindered by the neoliberal untouchable laws of the EU. That alone has great potential to improve the material conditions of the Br*ts.

No, that’s Hungary’s massive benefit if it leaves the EU and EU’s benefit to the UK leaving.
England left the EU for the US, because it thought the EU quit being subordinate to the UK and became US subordinate only.

England has a monopoly on bants and madlads

traditional homeland of the archbishop of banterbury

Don’t forget Yorkshire puddings.

They have the City of London, the entire UK subsists almost entirely off of London’s status as a global finance hub for banking, insurance, etc. The rest of it, ever since Thatcher destroyed the traditional British industries along with the unions, basically produces nothing.

That has got to be one of the most shortest lengths of a prime minister rule I’ve ever heard of. Wonder what’ll the Bri’ish de-muh-crazy with the missing PM.

The shortest in Britain actually.

She had a contest with a livestream of a lettuce to see which one would be gone first. She lost to a lettuce.

Lettuce deserves to be the succesor, obviously

It can’t possibly do worse

Remember those words.

Wow. Huh, that is fucking hilarious.

“what could pawsibly go wrong??”
– 🦎 truss, probably

See ya! 👋🖕

Now I wonder what shit head fascist bigot we get next 👀

New elections are quite probable at this point, but since UK system is like it is, it won’t change anything, Labour have been purged of any basedness much too thoroughly. Most probably burgeoisie will just try playing blairist card again to push for more palatable austerity like they always do.

I think most sane people would expect a general election but I don’t expect the tories to throw away their power because Keith asked politely.

Labour are a disgrace but I think they might have a chance given how poorly people think of the tories currently (whether that is accurate i dont think matters because the tories will be worried about it) and that’s why the tories won’t call a general election yet at least.

Not until they can repair some of their reputation with the lumpen who are just looking for an excuse to vote for something racist.

Can’t they just, you know, rig the election?

No wait, that lady who predicts the future with asparagus said that Boris Johnson would come back.

Oh god please not that buffoon again 😭

Dissolution of parliament and reinstatement of absolute monarchy arc 2023.

Isn’t Mitchell kind of a horribly smug lib?

yes, actually a bit conservative

Well that would explain a few things

I mean not straight up tory or anything

Eh, I find supposedly “progressive” libs to be often just as terrible and bloodsucking as the “proper” conservatives. They just put glitter on the boot before stepping on our necks

Perhaps the smuggest.

No no no no no!

Unless the queen and/or king is a drag queen/king I’m not interested and even then I’m like “can we not just have a drag council instead?”
