Treasury gonna Treasury. It needs reform

I think after today he’s done done by the local elections. Candidate alignment will kick up a gear now

Any Milisecond now

Fair

Ousting an unpopular PM early means you’re not rushing, you can get through security, maybe have a meal at Giraffe, just overall a better experience

Terrible

The Venn diagram of this comfortably well off group of people and Reform is basically a circle but no politician is brave enough to call it out

That frontal temporal dementia theory looking more and more sound

The sun is fake and gay

Happy to claim Artemis II for the gays

Optimistically he’s a Caligula or a Nero - notorious but basically inconsequential to world historical events.

NO

It wasn’t a dream…

The children yearn for Brownism

Presumably he’s been told this and that almost all of Israel’s water comes from desalinisation plants.

Slow on the uptake

They’ve also just… got old, so they have old people opinions. They’re not special, just bang in the middle of the bell curve of opinion.

Takes me by surprise twice a year

He’s consulted with the priests and the auguries are not good. Time to sheathe his dagger.
