It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

Ukraine appearances are the go to for embattled PMs these days.
The mood in the Tory party is not good right now and we're getting some hilarious quotes as a result:
The last tweet is beyond laughable. The pound has crashed and the markets are reacting badly because they fear Starmer might become PM at some point in the next two years? Unbelievable (he has scarcely even laid out his economic policies yet).
Tory handbook rule #2:
"When a policy is indefensible, reconsider blame it on the opposition"
I don't think I have ever seen live newspaper feeds move this quick on an economic issue before.
Truly desperate stuff. It's basically the playbook for going against Jeremy Corbyn that they haven't bothered to update.
Truss was always going to be a disaster but didn't think she'd crash the entire economy and Sterling within weeks of taking office. That's some going in fairness.
It's not as if Starmer is some crazed radical far right or far left politician threatening to set the UK economy ablaze. He's a pretty boring, middle of the road politician. This is beyond desperate excuse making.
Especially as apparently the Labour Party conference was full of business people and bankers looking at making relationships with labour politicians in anticipation of the election. It’s being planned for, not being run from and panicked about
Labour and KS will walk the next election if he could only define what a woman is . He's been asked on national TV numerous times but refuses to answer. They will find a way to lose the next one aswel . The media will portray them as far left loons and they will do themselves no favours
That was started in an article by Daniel Hannan that I linked to earlier today.. They are beyond pathetic.
It is only on internet forums that this is a big issue, "most Britons have paid little to no attention to the trans rights debate in the media and politics"...

She couldn't even do that right 🙈
The people who would voted based purely on something like this are not going to be voting for the Labour anyway.
if he could only define what a woman is
That really really really doesn't matter to anyone who would ever even dream of voting anything other than Tory.
It's something that absolutely no one gives a monkeys about outside of ultra conservative think-tanks trying to drum up culture wars.
People care about a roof over their heads and food in their bellies - Things that the Tories are currently taking away from them to give more money to their rich friends.
No matter how hard the Tories try , things like Trans rights will just not be a factor in the next Election.
That's not to say that Labour can't mess it up , they absolutely could but the ability to provide a "definition of a woman" won't be it.
Women/feminists?
About ten very very angry ones on Twitter.
It isn't an issue despite the far right desperately wanting it to be so. Its an almost uniquely British obsession too.
Its kinda adorable tbh.
Especially when she had one of those weeks off due to the Queens death.
I see we have moved on from "what about Ireland" and the "anti-British" bullies to blaming Labour for the economy and stoking the culture wars.
The whole sad bag of tricks coming out today.
Truss is 100% in hiding.
3 weeks into the job and only real message put out is to congratulate Italy's new Prime Minister.
Meanwhile 5 days on from a disasterous mini-budget; No statements, no TV appearances to defend, explain or diffuse the issue. 100% rabbit in headlights.
I mean she's brand new in the job and should be everywhere trying to cement her position
Honestly, people in the UK don't care about this, there are bigger things to worry about.

Unreal work from mr kamakazi
...
Kemi Badenoch basically made this her entire schtick in the Tory leadership contest. She did better than expected but she still couldn't get more than 1 in 6 of her colleagues to vote for her.
Well she would have crashed it sooner but for...well you know?
Unreal when the BoE literally announced last week just before the disastrous mini budget that they were deleveraging government bonds. A week later and they have to go back in buying them to stabilize the economy. If there's one thing Central Banks hate is being blind sided and made look like fools by government policy.
And as predicted instead of making changes to their plan to give rich people more money , they are now going to start cutting government funding for everything else.
Government departments will be asked to make cuts to help balance the budget, the BBC has been told.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Chris Philp, will write to government departments in the coming days about finding spending efficiencies.
An interesting aspect to all this is the role of the right wing press. They acted as cheerleaders for Kwarteng's budget instead of sounding alarm bells and have been left looking very foolish.
I know British people don't tend to take to the streets but now would really be the time to do so.
