Daily Star headline, end of an error. :)

I reckon tomorrow's weather on her first day as PM will define her tenure. :)

Daily Record headline: Only 50 Tory MPs voted for you at the start of this leadership contest and less than half of your party backed you at the end but, for some reason, we have all ended up with you as Prime Minister. Even a buffoon like Boris Johnson had a mandate from the British public, which is more than be said for you." :lol:

One good thing about Truss's victory is that that bullying bitch Patel's gone. :D

I think a meeting between Truss and Putin should be on the cards. She would bore him to death in an hour.

Britain's greatest tit compares himself to a booster rocket that's fulfilled its function. Good analogy, only it was an unguided rocket that's heading back to the UK. He's even trying to take credit for the 40 new hospitals that he never built!

Apparently, the first job of a new PM is a security briefing including issuing instructions to nuclear submarine commanders. You better get inside your nuclear bunker and stay there Archery. :)

The NI reversal is the most disgusting poitical decision I can remember. When we're trying to find ways to help the most needy she's dumping cash into the pockets of the wealthy, cash that they don't need. It's flipping criminal.

I once heard a story about two prisoners who escaped transportation and got on a train, they were handcuffed together. The police were informed and were waiting for them at the next station. When they got off the train they made a run for it, ran on either side of a lampost and both of them broke their arms.

The reason I'm mentioning it on this thread is that Boris and Carrie almost did the same thing as they left No. 10 holding hands. :lol:

I just hope they use Johnson as a rocket booster, finally make use of the hot air that comes out of him.

She certainly won't support the sugar tax or BOGOF ban on unhealthy food. Maybe she'll do something to ease the cost of crisps, they've sky-rocketed lately!

Chloe Smith has got Work and Pensions. She never did reply to my email about Johnson. She must have thought the only purpose of it was to insult him. :)

Is Truss two feet taller than the queen, was she standing on a step, is the photo an optical illusion, or am I just pissed?
