UK X: Who Wants To Live Forever

[Neon Ignition]

The Tories keep on giving us a windfall of updates to lead us into this thread regenerating from its Boris era ninth incarnation into its tenth era of Truss and the potential death knell of the modern Tory government era.

That news caused the pound to crumble again as remaining hope fell away

In the tenth age, the body's of the sick and poor piled so high that their wasn't enough room in hell and the dead started to rise, the Tory party used this to their advantage reinforcing their stranglehold on UK politics by courting and adding this legions of the undead to their voter base. They found that having a legion of flesh hungry zombies shambaling around at poling stations was very advantageous as it kept the living away.

And then there was but one. One Liz to rule them all. For a few days anyway.

[Anpanman]

I really hope they've found Keith after all this time, poor bugger, such a shame his mum isn't around.

Like the defence someone uses when up on a murder charge, Kwarteng stands over the body of the UK economy and says 'I had no other choice'

Liz Truss refuses 8 times to rule out slashing benefits and state to fund tax cuts for rich.

I'm surprised to see Laura K applying pressure to a Tory. I guess now she's not sucking BoJo off though.

I've seen as well that it's been noticed the BBC didn't cover the Enough is Enough protests in any capacity. I don't watch BBC news to know if this is true, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Truss didn't discuss cutting the 45% tax rate with her own cabinet

Truss says too much focus in politics has gone into how things look - 1: If that were true the Tories would have been in a very different position for the last two years and 2: These are literally the words of someone incapable of general election campaigning

Despite being PM Truss stresses that cutting the top tax rate wasn't her decision

[Cassius_Smoke]

You can feel the Prime ministers media team struggling to turn this ship round.

'Eh, say it wasn't your fault?'
'What about Labour, we could blame them?'
'Aliens?'

Wouldn't surprise me if her PR team room is just one desk with Mogg sat at it

They didn’t, no. Not even a mention.

Edit: in terms of their TV news, of course.

Shockingly bad.
Thousands of people taking to the streets country wide to protest against the government and its not news worthy?!
Unbiased BBC eh?
