Pity that the first PM since Churchill to serve under two monarchs was also the worst since gawd-knows-when - perhaps ever.

It's odd. Generally zealots are consistently zealors even if they are not consistent in what they are zealots about. Truss seems to be a late developing zealots. I'd say Trump was too bit I think he's always been a zealots about Trump and nothing has changed other than where he finds himself.

Truss didn't seem to have that degree of narcissism earlier so this feels strange.

I read the report and my mind flashed to this.

Two pundits discussing this literary marvel this morning said it indicated that she had less self-awareness than a baboon. Listening to part of her interview with Chris Mason, I would say that is a fair assessment.

But a bit unfair to baboons though.

I don't understand why the American Right is embracing her. She's a loser. I didn't think they like losers.

I suppose Tr*mp has managed to spin his loss into a win. So maybe they're just gullible.
