During the night they had dance music and a disco ball with strobe lights, this Sunday morning it was a cup of coffee and around noon a mug of tea. It keeps getting better 😆

Lettuce update:
The lettuce had cheese biscuits, cheddar and pork scratchings for dinner, and just settled for the night with an eye mask, paracetamol and a tape of whale song.

Strangely, this is more compelling than anything else going on in the world right now.

Lettuce-cast update:
Lettuce acquired a teddy bear and put on a lofi groove soundtrack.

Keep the news flowing. This is like getting Santa updates on XMAS eve.

The Lettuce has sprouted a blond wig, a bottle of Irn Bru and a packet of caffeine tablets. It is clearly in it for the long haul.

The disco lights made it difficult to see whether the lettuce was still there or put in the fridge overnight.

Considering that in just six weeks in office, Liz Truss has:
- Seen the death of the Queen. (I maintain this is not a coincidence).
- Done nothing for ten days because it was a period of national mourning.
- Crashed the economy, brought the pound almost level pegging with the dollar and very nearly destroyed an awful lot of people's pension funds.
- Sacked the Chancellor she appointed only a few weeks previously, then denied sacking him.
In theory, she has at least two years before we're due another election. So she could stay in power that long.
In practise, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if she either resigns or calls an election within the next week.

Watching Britain and the US and A from afar - I swear, it's hard to tell which of the two is the biggest clusterfuck sometimes.

Canadian here. Hoping it all goes away. Some of the fever is creeping in around us.

You just know if people were to storm Downing Street, they’d probably be doing the country a favour. Because somehow, worse and worse people keep getting put in charge. The electoral college may be dumb, but the British system isn’t much worse at the end of the day.

Until they stop shooting five year olds at school the USA will always be the bigger clusterfuck.

A ten-day period of doing absolutely nothing being your best performance thus far isn't what I'd call a ringing endorsement.
jimicus t1_isne73x wrote
Considering she crashed the economy almost immediately after the ten day period, she’d only actually been doing anything for about seven days at the time.
As one journalist pointed out, that’s about the shelf life of a lettuce. Hence the live stream.

Has he been sacked again? Because I watched either HIGNFY or Mock the Week and I swear for two weeks straight they talked about him having just been sacked.

If they even suspected that she was going to call for elections, Tories would have her disappeared.
