Love, love, love this: "Shortly after, Rishi took a deep gulp and stepped up to the pulpit with a bleeding forehead to make his announcement while pissing down his trouser leg. I don’t know about you, but I think he handled the moment with dignity." 💜

Alternatively, Cruella is now free to join up with her soul mate MTG in the role of sensitivity coach. One must admit, they'd make a rather lovely couple.

. . . On second thought perhaps "soul"mate was a poor word choice. "soulless" mate, perhaps?

Excuse my ignorance, but who is MTG? Michael The Gove? Margaret Thatcher's Ghost? Mighty Thor's Gerbil?

Oh, you English types! Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Oh, yes, us English speaking types who were properly taught how to spell. You may admit that Margaret Thatcher's Ghost is descriptive of the Greene woman's policies. just sayin'

@Jim Davidson -- Greene is considerably to the Right of Thatcher. She's well to the Right of Mussolini, and I'd place her only slightly to the Right of a blend of Countess Elizabeth Báthory, Tomás de Torquemada, and Vlad the Impaler.

I do, and though English is not my first language I blame the spell checker for all my errors. The software did it so I am absolved.

Oh. No. "I was only following the orders of the artificial insanity." Nope, ehhhhhh. What do we have for our contestants Don Pardo?!

Don: Monty we have an all expense paid trip for one to Nuremberg Germany in the steerage class followed by a public trial. Your trip includes a lifetime supply of the bread of adversity and the water of affliction. Brought to you by the men in white helmets

We have to stop meeting like this.

Ah, yes. Do please remind me, is she the right-wing Christian whose husband exposed himself to children, the right-wing Christian who enjoys being fondled in public, the right-wing Christian whose teen daughter had a child out of wedlock, or someone else?

Onre of those I think. Sarah Palin is the 3rd but of course that in itself doesn't rule out MTG. Honestly I think MTG might be a lesbian,because she has such a thing for her fellow fascist Lauren Boebert.

She’s never had anywhere close to the power to do something like free Julian Assange. Suella DeVille has

KO in the first 10 seconds. The world satire champion belt goes to Laura K for "Killer" 😉

Lovely readable summary. I was wondering what was really happening.

Phew. Thanks for the warning never to watch anything on YouTube containing Lion and Honey Badger. Also, thank you for the vivid illustration of how your political structure works. Is it really true this Cruella Suella will only be suspended for two weeks? She sounds scary.

"Suella has taken full responsibility and agreed to step down… for the next two weeks."

Now she has finished as Home Secretary, please can she f#ck off back to Hell to take up her old role? The one before she walked on the Earth in human form 🤔😈

And then Rishi tries to protect himself by getting Cameron back as Foreign Secretary. I hope Dave can afford the paycut! (Ooh, but he gets a life peerage, to match his wife’s membership of the aristocracy!) 🤦‍♀️

Brilliant read, it was always about on the cards with her. Sacking your boss leaves a tasteless taste. Good luck Rishi 😉

Borrowing from the titles from & the Holi Grail, perhaps also also those who sack the one who sacks, shall be sacked.

Yes, but who sacks the sackers of the sacked?

A conundrum to be sure as an infinite series might be inferred. But if we can arrange for a recursive process the problem can be avoided. David Cameron, perhaps?

The software code was said to be recursive because it was cursed at again and again...

The Evil Cruella has Gone? Let me celebrate! ... I hope she's not going to reappear like whatsherface, tell me no?

An amusing writing, Laura!

It was fortunate that there were a few ball-kicking exhibitions taking place on Saturday, or that mini-mob of right-wing thugs would have been considerably more trouble, the Met overwhelmed, and blood in the streets. Then your headline would have read: "Rishi fired by Suella - on a spit over a bonfire of British constitutional laws."

Hey maybe they can finally find a use for Piers Morgan!

Well, if Rishi is sacked and Suella is chosen as the new PM she won’t be able to hide behind someone else when she declares her next defamation.

Fantastic storyboard, who's doing the screenplay?

Two thoughts on your post today.

Thought one: Would it be possible to get the photo of Risky in a paper sack? Seems like just the thing for the mantel over the fireplace.

Thought two: Of course the Truss & Girder's tax reforms didn't go far enough. Jesus Christ says taxation is theft.
