[about this site]

Quote: "I will be leaving soon with my head held high ... and I am also proud of the leadership that I have given." — what a characteristically disgraceful lack of awareness. <sigh>

Numbers: Population of UK: about 67 million.  Number who want Liz Truss to be PM: 81,326 (0.1%). She didn't even get 50% of the votes from the members of her own fractured party, and less than a third of her own MPs.

Policies: The working poor in Britain are struggling to pay for food, heating and transport, with prices rising drastically. The Chancellor's solution? Tax cuts for the very high earners, tax cuts for sellers of expensive houses, and bonuses for the bankers :/
