A British newspaper has started a live stream on YouTube of Liz Truss’s photo next to a lettuce to see which one lasts longer. I do love this country’s sense of humo(u)r. pic.twitter.com/nVpbozX3OP

Haha.
You put a woman in charge, you get what you deserve.

British Prime Minister Liz Truss said on Monday she has no intention to step down, despite calls from fellow Conservative MPs. Her statement comes as she fights for political survival over her controversial economic policies, which unleashed market turmoil.
Speaking to the BBC, the embattled PM stated that she is “sticking around because I was elected to deliver for this country and that is what I am determined to do.”
She went on to say that she would lead the Conservative Party into the next election, adding that she “is not focused on internal debates” among the Tories. “We are facing very tough times. We simply cannot afford to spend our time talking about the Conservative Party, rather than what we need to deliver. That is my message to my colleagues.”
Truss apologized, however, for the mistakes she has made during her first month as prime minister, taking responsibility for her ill-fated economic plan, which triggered market chaos. She explained that she “wanted to act to help people with their energy bills, to deal with the issue of high taxes,” while admitting that her government “went too far and too fast” with its policies.
The prime minister said that in order to remedy the situation, she appointed a new chancellor with a new strategy “to restore economic stability.”
Frankly, Truss didn’t have a lot of good options when dealing with the economy, and there was going to be serious fallout regardless after Boris Johnson did all that coronavirus lunacy and started a war with Russia.
That said, when picking from a lot of bad choices, Truss managed to chose the worst possible path.
The British model is to squeeze Prime Ministers as hard as possible, to get as much of the population as possible to hate them, and then force them to resign and bring in some new asshole to rinse and repeat. But there is no way Truss is going to last as long as Johnson. Probably, she’s reaching the end already. What I’ve found is that as soon as there are calls to resign, resignation is not far off.
Women really are cartoonishly incompetent. You’d think women would just be able to get male advisors to tell them what to do, but women are all control freaks and they all think they know everything, so it’s more or less impossible for them to have advisors that aren’t just yes men.
It’s very silly that we allow our countries to be governed using democracy. No one will tell you who benefits from this arrangement, but if you ask too many times, they will start calling you anti-Semitic.
