Listen guys, being rulled by inbred morons incapable of tying their shoes worked really well for the Britons for a few centuries* so it's understandable that they still haven't butchered the entire upper class yet for tasty steaks.
Just give them time.

*Worked well for rich Britons at any rate.

Wait, so what has actually changed in the British conservative viewpoint? Because so far it just seems like Truss is doing the exact same policies to the exact same ends that Johnson did, but now suddenly the cartoonists hate her for it

Is it as simple as "we were okay when a loveable clownish posh git was doing it, but now that a woman and a black man are trying it, it's horrible"

Imagine that the country is a person, who the rich and powerful slowly drain of blood like vampires, slowly enough that they can still live and somehow argue that actually it's just the way of things.

Liz Truss walked up to that person on day one and knifed them in the stomach, then said "there, lots of lovely blood for all my vampire buddies!" and gave everyone a big, vacuous grin like this was perfectly normal and fine, no notes needed.

Even the vampires have some basic sanity; slowly gouging the poor is evil but somewhat sustainable, Liz Truss just crippled the entire country immediately without understanding that there's supposed to be some sort of balance and kayfabe to all this. She's dangerously stupid to a speed and extent that has blindsided everyone.

I think there's a few things. She's come in when the cost of living is getting particularly bad, and she doesn't really have the excuse of covid or brexit anymore to excuse this particular gently caress-up. She's also messed with the markets and people's pensions, which when your core demographic is rich twats and pensioners can cause your base to really get pissed off. They've made things worse very quickly, as opposed to the slow drip of things getting slightly shitter day by day that we've been having since Brexit, and now it's starting to effect people other than the poor. Also having just come to power this is the only thing she's known for so her entire first impression is loving something up for no apparent reason.

It might also be because a woman and a black man are doing it, mind. (This is, I think, a big part of why Truss got the leadership over Sunak, because the tory membership prefers a white woman over a man with indian parents).

The idea of Liz Truss waking up every morning and trying to get her face to stop looking like that, and failing, is very funny.

The idea of Liz Truss entirely skipping that sidequest and going through life with no concept of her own appearance, while still insistently making that face, is also very funny

Yeah John Oliver's show did a pretty good look at the National Flood Insurance program and one of the problems with it is that they won't pay for you to move, only to rebuild your house so people in flood-prone areas are basically trapped there.

There was one lady on there whose house had flooded like 5 times, she couldn't sell it because nobody wants to live in a house that floods all the time, meanwhile the government had put like a million dollars into rebuilding her lovely house over and over and over.

They could have bought her a freaking mansion somewhere else and still saved money.
