I used to think Brexit was a case of the UK shooting itself in the foot. Recent events have convinced me that they were aiming for the head.
And now you're trying again.

You do realise that You are the Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything?
I see Biden has stuck the boot in.
Brexit has cost the U.S. in terms of closing off a route to market in Europe via the U.K. They are going to make life as tough for the Tories as they can.
US President Biden calls Truss's economic policies 'a mistake'
The US president spoke out as the UK pays a diplomatic price for turmoil, the BBC’s James Landale writes.

The most curious thing..
Although a politician never says "I don't know " even when it is obvious that they don't. They keep coming out with weasel words when they would be better admitting that they haven't a clue. The pretence is obvious It demeans them and belittles the populous.

As long as you are happy with the Government you have there is absolutely no reason to vote. It would be as foolish as not voting if you were unhappy with them
If my work got someone into sideline me and basically do my job while I’m told to make myself invisible and tidy the stationary cupboard, I’d like to think I’d have the dignity to resign. Especially if I was the f***ing boss!
Truss has not integrity, dignity or self awareness. She is an empty plastic bag, being swirled around by the wind in an old car park in Barnsley that nobody uses except to let their dogs take a dump in on late night, drizzle soaked walks when they want a cigarette and a break from the wife.
She’s done. She just refuses to accept it. The mental old witch.

Yes, good point; there is handling awkward questions with panache, and there is....Truss.

I think @junior makes a salient point. Johnson systematically shredded the cabinet of anyone with any experience, gravitas and gumption in favour of a bunch of nodding dog nonentities who would never, at any point, be any real threat to him. Sunak was probably the only vaguely competent one who didn't need help getting dressed in the morning.
Now this has all come home to roost, and we have been left with a clown college of a cabinet, headed up by a clueless bint who couldn't organise an orgy in Jimmy Savile's caravan.
If it wasn't so serious it would be f***ing hilarious.
(I'm loving the lack of a swear filter btw @Bozza - long may it continue).
It (the Johnson strategy) is a bit like Andone injuring all his striker rivals in training, so he could be the first name on the team sheet.
Scrub the Andone bit. Richie Barker. No, 'Silky David Cameron.
Which is ironic since he was the clueless plum who set this shit-show in motion.
It's a funny old world (but not in the 'ha ha' sense)

I read that 'many' letters have gone in to Sir Graham Brady, Chairman of the 1922 committee. Tomorrow he returns from Athens.
Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but there could be developments later on tomorrow.

I thought the policy was to feed Lord Rothermere a tureen of soup. The way Lord Rothermere eats soup was bound to cause some of it to splash onto a waiter, which in turn would allow the waiter to feed themselves and their family.
Yes, he did - by almost every conceivable metric. More teachers, more police, lower taxes, more human rights etc. Here is a considerable list.
Tory apologists like you absolutely love to re-write history. The gulf war was a mistake of course. You can tell this because it was fully backed by the Conservatives.
Anyway, I digress. Compare Labour's achievements to the utter mess the Tories have made of this country in 13 years (assisted by the Lib Dems for 5 of those years, sadly). I don't think there is a single genuine achievement they can honestly point at as a genuine success. They haven't even got Brexit done, and if they have then why do 59% (and that trend is rising) of people want us to go back? We all pay far more tax than we ever did under Labour, and yet services are worse or non existent. Where has the money gone that the state has saved on not paying my two eldest kids to go to university? That's about £60k I'd guess. Health? Well why can't I see my doctor in good time? Law and order? Why is crime rising as usual with the Tories?
These Conservatives are the worst crop of politicians we have ever seen. They are absurdly incompetent and untrustworthy, they are wrecking the country and have turned us into an international laughing stock.
Shortest PM reign of a PM who was able to even take the job with the confidence of Parliament is 119 days (George Canning). To reach that, Truss has to still be PM on 3rd January 2023.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Incredible how some basic questions about MMT can make @BenGarfield head for the hills.
His pencil must have run out of lead.
