"I am like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function,’’ Johnson said Tuesday morning as he left his office for the royal Balmoral estate. "I will now be gently re-entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the Pacific."

He's more like a V-2. He'll come crashing down just when you least expect, creating carnage.

How Liz Truss plunged the UK to the brink of recession in just one month
The new prime minister began September promising a ‘new era’ for Britain. One economic crisis later, she has delivered
...So ... how much influence does a
PresidentPrime Minister have on the economy? -
The future ex-Prime Minister is doing a fantastic job, but she's not alone. She's got a hand-picked team of heartless greedy self-serving assholes assisting her.
The next government will not be Conservative.

LOL. And they say the US is dysfunctional.
She's been PM for, what, 10 days?
I may be wrong, but even Jeffrey Epstein lasted longer than that.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

At least BoJo offered comic relief to his government’s sinking ship. Truss appears to be a muggins tossed out as a forlorn hope in the face of certain annihilation by who knows what.
Perhaps an application to rejoin the EU would be a good start at recovery.

He's four months old."

Brexit’s going well. I remember them telling us how it would let Britain fully govern itself at last.
Should have stuck with the Germans.

U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss Resigns After Six Weeks
U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss said she would resign, after a risky plan to cut taxes and boost spending caused turmoil on financial markets, forcing her to backtrack and her political authority to disintegrate.
The 47-year-old will become the shortest-serving prime minister in British history and the third Conservative Party leader pushed out of office in as many years. Ms. Truss said that a leadership election would be held within the next week to find her replacement.
“I recognize that given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party,” she said standing outside Downing Street on Thursday.
The resignation comes months after rebel lawmakers forced outBoris Johnson as prime minister following a series of scandals.
Ms. Truss’s successor must now navigate a political crisis and economic turbulence, with Britain dealing with stagflation—the combination of slow growth and high inflation. The new leader is almost sure to face a long winter of discontent, with real wages forecast to fall, labor unions promising a series of strikes and many voters demanding elections.

They really ought to call a general election now, and let the people vote to decide the leader of the country, rather than a very small group of Tories.
Obviously, that would lead the Conservatives trying to find a leader who can win an election, which might be a bit of a struggle.
