Rumour is that Boris wants to give it another go. CHAOS! Good god. The best thing to come out of this is Joe Lycett’s daily affirming quotes for Liz and the resulting recognition that he was right all along. Yesterday’s words of positivity for Liz: “Hey you, you’re holding onto too many bags. You can’t do it all. You can’t it all. You can’t carry it all. “Do what you can. Be who you are. Only carry what’s important. And put the rest of the bags down.” I mean, I live in the US and I don’t follow UK politics and even I knew she would be a short-lived disaster, but 44 days? |

The Guardian has an article about the head of lettuce that outlasted Liz Truss.

I mean, I live in the US and I don’t follow UK politics and even I knew she would be a short-lived disaster, but 44 days? 45. 45! Don't sell the poor woman short.  I don't know whether to laugh or boggle at this shitshow. Boris getting back in would make it even worse. I bet even Trump haters are looking at the UK government and saying, "At least Trump didn't do that!" |

We would have been better off if Trump had done that! We would have only had 45 days of damage and not four years-worth.
Praying for y'all that Boris doesn't get back in.

We're going to have some new units of time from all this.
Peter Sagal (host of NPR's Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me) posted on Twitter that 1 Truss = 3 fortnights. For those of us in the US, 1 Truss = 4 Scaramuccis.

If Boris runs then the lettuce should definitely run against him.

I saw a Facebook meme listing the Jeopardy champions who have lasted longer than Truss 😆
