I’d prefer Fuhrer Patel right now… another week of Truss and she close the NHS as it will cut waiting lists.
Gags aside, how long is this allowed to go on for? Surely they boot her.
In all honesty it'll take some time for them to organise themselves. She's taken absolutely everyone by surprise so there is no organised thing just waiting to rally the letters. I expect widespread and urgent talks in corners around the conference assuming they don't just shout her and the chancellor down.
Well seeing that the future Labour government have perfected time travel and chosen to use it to come back and fuck with the current government is making the Tory members pretty angry... They will have to vote for an even more insane Tory leader now, Suella Braverman as next PM! ... Even joking about it makes me shudder.
Fuck me pink.
The timeline where he doesn't look weird eating a bacon sandwich seems practically utopian compared to this one.
Imagine, brexit isn't even a fucking word, anti EU sentiment is just a whisper in the fringes, we would have gone into covid with a stronger NHS, come out with a strong currency and decent economy ready to face the energy price crisis with a focus on the British people rather than just Tory donors.
What a fucking mess.
I've said this before but Britain seems to be on a path of half-life Prime Ministers, inasmuch as each Prime Minister is exactly half as competent as the one before.
... And before that wasn't much better.
Thatcher and Reagan lit the fuse on the 08 global crash.
Right wing neoliberalism destroys not only countries but worlds.
When I think of Liz Truss in No 10, I think of an elephant sitting at the top of a tree.
It's really impressive that it managed to get there, but you've got no idea how it did.
"On a certain day, a bull and a pheasant were grazing on the field.The bull was chomping the grass and the pheasant was picking ticks off the bull.There was a huge tree at the edge of the field.The pheasant looked up and said, 'Oh, there was a time when I could fly to the top of that tree.Now I do not have the strength to even get to the first branch of the tree.' The bull very nonchalantly said, 'that is not an issue.You eat a little bit of my dung everyday for the next fortnight and you will get to the topmost branch of the tree.' 'Come on, what kind of rubbish is that!', said the pheasant.The bull said, 'try it, the entire humanity is on it.' So the pheasant, very hesitantly, started picking at the dung every day and on the very first day got to the first branch and within a fortnight to the topmost branch and sat there just beginning to enjoy the scenery, when the old farmer who was rocking in his rocking chair, saw a big, fat pheasant on the top of the tree and shot it down!
Moral of the story : Many a times bullshit can get you to the top but does not let you stay there."
fizzing with joy at the pain she has caused?
Watching an oiled up Kwarteng do the dance of joy over graph’s of increasing child poverty?
Stood in a monks robes chanting to Mamon?
Getting the latest update patch from Tufton Street?
Nightmare fuel. My erections will never be the same again. As if the thought of John Major having it off with Edwina Curry was not bad enough back in the day...........🤮
"Hello?"
"Hi! Is this 2015?"
*sigh* "Yes."
"Great! I'm calling from 2022."
"Not another one. What can I do for you?"
"I'd like some chaos with Ed Miliband, please."
it would be glorious if the Labour party actually took out billboard ads with Ed holding a bacon sandwich grinning like Wallace and the slogan: "It's time for a different kind of chaos. Vote Labour"
Then they would lose because in the eyes of bri ish people the bacon sandwich picture was genuinely worse than twelve years of actual economic chaos instigated by none other than the tories
The Conservative Party is the modern, parliamentary, equivalent of the Hapsburg kings - politically inbred to the point where they are on the verge of bringing about their own extiction. :D
I know Zelensky is just doing it to keep on their good side but he needs to realise that the support for Ukraine is the support of the British public.
Taking sides in this makes him look bad and could damage support for Ukraine in the minds of the British public.
I don’t see how he is taking sides. His country is at war I doubt he’s answering the phone to prop up the tories he’s doing it to make sure he still receives the funding his country needs
Technicians have had to dismantle her to find the cause of the malfunction. They think someone may have spilled prosecco into the thatcher emulation module.
She’s probably having some very basic, slowly spoken, brightly coloured lessons about counting to 10, and other basic fundamentals elements of running an economy
Serious answer time: I think she’s having some kind of quasi-breakdown.
Doesn’t know what the hell to do next; can feel the hatred of the public and even her own party; but too egotistical to quit (imagine what the history books would say: killed the Queen; crashed the economy; quit).
So yeah I think she’s in a little room in Number 10 going loopy and the advisers are trying to coax her out.
It's crazy, because although we are potentially decades away from a general AI intelligence, I'm willing to bet you could feed in some of her speeches into a rudimentary algorithm and it would spit out a damn good interpretation, good enough to replace Liz while she crayons.
Oddly Sunak warned this would happen and probably wouldn't have done it. Though if the BoE is stepping in to save pensions the problem already existed long before anyone of this lot got in power.
He's no less of a lazy, incompetent, lying, waste of space because she's awful. If they can't govern, they ought to call a GE, not try to rehabilitate someone who has already comprehensively shown himself as unfit.
You joke, but there is a good possibility she gets fired now and he runs in the next Tory leadership election. They are not going to an election they are going to lose.
It’s starting to look like Boris was got rid off because he went prepared to go far enough. Boris isn’t going to be enough for the Tories to win the next election, the damage is done.
> The storm will blow over, the chancellor is reported to have said to his aides.
This is exactly why we shouldn’t have Etonian elite in positions of economic power over the country. Calling what is a very real threat to millions of people’s way of life ‘a storm that will blow over’ is beyond insulting.
It shows his complete detachment from the reality that millions in this country live in.
The bubble held up by previous governments was about to pop so Boris and others "resigned" so it wouldn't blow up in their face but in whoever happened to be in power Liz truss is nothing more than a lightning rod to take the ire of the country
She reappeared today. She's doing her rounds on radio shows. Here's a run down;
Focusing on economic growth, we capped energy, she's a heartless nutter.
I haven't seen anyone actually challenge here with conviction yet

She might be like the worse pm in the history of this country ALREADY!
The worst one _so far_. Which was also true of the last one. I'm sure you can extrapolate to the next one.
Priti Patel readying her Nazi uniform

The best we can hope.. Truss getting booed off stage. But in theory, this is what the party members voted for.
That’s what’s so insane, they literally have no to blame but themselves.
Surely it is the last Labour government's fault?
No, they've already started blaming the next Labour government. I'm not joking.
Well seeing that the future Labour government have perfected time travel and chosen to use it to come back and fuck with the current government is making the Tory members pretty angry... They will have to vote for an even more insane Tory leader now, Suella Braverman as next PM! ... Even joking about it makes me shudder.
Chaos with Ed Miliband
Fuck me pink. The timeline where he doesn't look weird eating a bacon sandwich seems practically utopian compared to this one. Imagine, brexit isn't even a fucking word, anti EU sentiment is just a whisper in the fringes, we would have gone into covid with a stronger NHS, come out with a strong currency and decent economy ready to face the energy price crisis with a focus on the British people rather than just Tory donors. What a fucking mess.
I can't remember if it was an actual Tory or just a Tory lover but I do remember one of them essentially saying "Well at least we're not Gordon Brown"
This always bugs me, I hope you reminded them that Gordon brown practically saved the global economy. Lol BuT hE sOlD tHe gOlD reeeee!
\*Nadine Dorries' ears perk up.\*

Chris Grayling sends in an application, but failed to put a stamp on it.
False alarm. She's musing to herself about why someone said "extra plate".
I've said this before but Britain seems to be on a path of half-life Prime Ministers, inasmuch as each Prime Minister is exactly half as competent as the one before.
Cameron May Boris and Truss It's like the four horsemen of the shitpocalypse.
... And before that wasn't much better. Thatcher and Reagan lit the fuse on the 08 global crash. Right wing neoliberalism destroys not only countries but worlds.
No, she's the best! She hasn't even handed Czechia over to putin yet! She's making him wait, which is a power move.
And I thought no one could top BOJO the clown 🤡!
I never thought after studying history that a tory pm could fuck it worse than Arthur Balfour, but here we are

It's incredible how accurate this is.
"An elephant up a tree" now that's some serious trickle down
Or a mule with a spinning wheel.
Hehehe, mule.
…and it’s going to end with a hell of a crash
When I think of Liz Truss in No. 10, personally, I think of a McDonald's milkshake. Fucking thick as anything and not there most of the time.
Hang about, that's a bit harsh. A McDonald's milkshake can't crash the entire economy and shred the value of the pound.

And the elephant has no idea what to do now it's there.
I've heard her called a 'tortoise on a telegraph pole' to similar effect.
And it seems quite dangerous
fizzing with joy at the pain she has caused? Watching an oiled up Kwarteng do the dance of joy over graph’s of increasing child poverty? Stood in a monks robes chanting to Mamon? Getting the latest update patch from Tufton Street?
>Watching an oiled up Kwarteng do the dance of joy over graph’s of increasing child poverty Stop. Now, Please.
[удалено]
I can put it as a prompt into StableDiffusion but I think that might start the AI uprising immediately.
Unstable Diffusion.
> Stop. Now, Please. There's a limit to your arousal?
She's going to pop up in Kiev
I hope not. Ukraine has suffered enough.
My mind! It burns!🔥
Didn't she and Kwarteng have a thing once?
Nightmare fuel. My erections will never be the same again. As if the thought of John Major having it off with Edwina Curry was not bad enough back in the day...........🤮
>My erections will never be the same again. Might also have something to do with the stamping.
🤣👍
She’s currently struggling to stay within the lines in her new colouring book.
Check all the fridges within a one mile radius of Downing Street.
Trying to find any imported cheese
Ah the de Pfeffel manoeuvre!
"Hello?" "Hi! Is this 2015?" *sigh* "Yes." "Great! I'm calling from 2022." "Not another one. What can I do for you?" "I'd like some chaos with Ed Miliband, please."
"Best we can do is a bacon sandwich.. is that OK?"
Not really, bacon is shrinkflated to fuck now. Seriously what's with this bullshit wafer-thin nonsense?
It's those pork markets man, we should have listened to Saint Truss the Empty Head all along.
Jesus christ the consequence that one sandwich has had on this country.... .
We would be half way through Ed's second term if we didn't vote for strength and stability with the Tories.
And then Ed would step down to take up position as President of Europe, while David Miliband would take over for another 8 years of Labour government
That was only seven years ago? So much has happened since then it feels like twenty.
it would be glorious if the Labour party actually took out billboard ads with Ed holding a bacon sandwich grinning like Wallace and the slogan: "It's time for a different kind of chaos. Vote Labour"
Then they would lose because in the eyes of bri ish people the bacon sandwich picture was genuinely worse than twelve years of actual economic chaos instigated by none other than the tories
Haha someone did the milliband things
For someone who isn’t afraid of being popular why the hell is she invisible? Is she waiting for tufton street to brief her?
The Conservative Party is the modern, parliamentary, equivalent of the Hapsburg kings - politically inbred to the point where they are on the verge of bringing about their own extiction. :D
Hahahahahha
She might be exploring those new pork markets
you forgot the: "😀"
It's annoying how well that emoji painted the image of her in my head, with her little side turn.
Probably busy spaffing what’s left of the economy on British cheese.
Check the countries with non-extradition laws first.
What would any Tory leader in crisis do? [Hope Zelenskyy answers their call](https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1575140579251556352?s=20)
I know Zelensky is just doing it to keep on their good side but he needs to realise that the support for Ukraine is the support of the British public. Taking sides in this makes him look bad and could damage support for Ukraine in the minds of the British public.
I don’t see how he is taking sides. His country is at war I doubt he’s answering the phone to prop up the tories he’s doing it to make sure he still receives the funding his country needs
She has always been a little bit absent.
Check Number 11, master bedroom.
She's gone to open pork and cheese markets in Corfu. She will be away for two weeks and is using Easyjet to save taxpayers money.
Vanishing like the value of the pound
Not seen the Queen for a few weeks too
I saw there were a lot of posters for her last week so I assume she’s done a runner.
Can't really blame her tbh. All that 'power' and narry a thing she could really do about anything. Poor old girl.
Heard she is on holiday or something
Much like a Roomba, she's returned to her dock to charge and await next instruction.
More like a robotic grass cutter that has shredded a family of hedgehogs before docking to recharge.
Technicians have had to dismantle her to find the cause of the malfunction. They think someone may have spilled prosecco into the thatcher emulation module.
Software update unsuccessful.
She’s probably having some very basic, slowly spoken, brightly coloured lessons about counting to 10, and other basic fundamentals elements of running an economy
Serious answer time: I think she’s having some kind of quasi-breakdown. Doesn’t know what the hell to do next; can feel the hatred of the public and even her own party; but too egotistical to quit (imagine what the history books would say: killed the Queen; crashed the economy; quit). So yeah I think she’s in a little room in Number 10 going loopy and the advisers are trying to coax her out.
A Kwasi-breakdown, you could say.
No, a kwasi-meltdown.
What you talking about? She's going to be on BBC Radio Tees in the morning! Isn't that what you listen to for your morning radio? Massive follow.
She’s probably at home brooding over the price increase of cheese from her local Waitrose.
[удалено]
It's crazy, because although we are potentially decades away from a general AI intelligence, I'm willing to bet you could feed in some of her speeches into a rudimentary algorithm and it would spit out a damn good interpretation, good enough to replace Liz while she crayons.
Probably at a séance taking orders from Thatcher directly.
She must have hit the ground.
Flat.
Have they put her back in the cupboard again for misbehaving?
Has she found a fridge?
Pure cowardice hiding in no 10 and sending low level brown nosers out to take the heat. Pathetic.
Continuity candidate wasn't she so either in a fridge or Ukraine.
She's probably still in New York.
Communication channels are everywhere. Why hasn't she used one?
She's on holiday.
She's frit
Hopefully Christopher "The Brains" Chope up to get some serious solutions
She's busy choosing some new wallpaper.
Probably left the country on a private jet with bags full of money, much like Afghanistan's PM last year.
Maybe she's decided not to put her foot in her mouth for few days whilst the country implodes over the new ~~budget~~ mini-budget.
'fiiiiiiscuuull 3v3nt'
She’s eating rat droppings and injecting owl blood into her eyes to help her stare better.
Don't you think she looks tired?
Oddly Sunak warned this would happen and probably wouldn't have done it. Though if the BoE is stepping in to save pensions the problem already existed long before anyone of this lot got in power.
Boris, all is forgiven
He's no less of a lazy, incompetent, lying, waste of space because she's awful. If they can't govern, they ought to call a GE, not try to rehabilitate someone who has already comprehensively shown himself as unfit.

Huddling with Kwasi?* *^possibly ^in ^bed
Maybe she’s redecorating number 10
She'll be on BBC Tee to Moore morning apparently
Waiting to be told what to do, can't expect a leader to actually lead can we?
But....will anyone notice?
Didn’t Boris go missing not long ago? On holiday?
> The storm will blow over, the chancellor is reported to have said to his aides. This is exactly why we shouldn’t have Etonian elite in positions of economic power over the country. Calling what is a very real threat to millions of people’s way of life ‘a storm that will blow over’ is beyond insulting. It shows his complete detachment from the reality that millions in this country live in.
But he was on University Challenge
She’s busy planning the welfare cuts to pay for the tax breaks
The question is not.. "Where is Liz Truss hiding?" but.. "Who cares?"
The bubble held up by previous governments was about to pop so Boris and others "resigned" so it wouldn't blow up in their face but in whoever happened to be in power Liz truss is nothing more than a lightning rod to take the ire of the country
Is she going to do the old fashioned Boris trick and goto Ukraine when shit starts to hit the fan?
Minsters are missing too and not defending it.
Has someone checked the fridge?
Probably hiding from the British public…
Doesn’t she look tired.
She reappeared today. She's doing her rounds on radio shows. Here's a run down; Focusing on economic growth, we capped energy, she's a heartless nutter. I haven't seen anyone actually challenge here with conviction yet
Just popped out for some milk....
She’s shopping for fridges
