We're getting a new government so I outstanding bills have to start over, I think that's how it works?

I don't think this counts as a new government!

There'll be a reshuffle. For his pivotal role in forcing out Truss, the post of Home Secretary will go to the head of lettuce

I mean changing ministers I don't think counts as "a new government" in the same sense that dissolving parliament for a GE and reforming it does.

Truss being used as the biggest dead cat bounce ever?

domhal: Dec 30, 2008; 0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

This'll be like the end of that film they had a while ago, XXX. Giving Truss the leadership was just the next part of the leadership contest. Unlike Vin Diesel, she failed.

So are we sort of asymptotically approaching 0-length prime minister ships? Give it a year and they get sworn in in the morning and resign by nightfall?

When you see the transcript of her absurd speech it's really so clear that she has no capacity for self-reflection, she did nothing wrong, there was no personal failure, it was just "the situation"

Tory prime ministerial terms have a floor of a week since that's how long it takes to pick the next one

The UK establishment is long past caring about the facade and cheerfully ripping off the mask to reveal the police state that had always underpinned the structure of UK society.

i've been following this a bit and yeah it's a complete nightmare.

Considering how he wants the cops to be able to do crimes and get away with it I highly doubt he would do that.

If Keir gets into power, he will oppose this law

On the grounds that it doesn't go far enough and a new, harsher law is needed to provide the law and order that the UK needs.

The bill passed with cross party support so that's a big negatory dudemeister.

i even read that starmer project which lists his many misdeeds over the years and his authoritarian mercenary lifestyle, but my brain just can't remember it sometimes because christ that bill needs to go. it needs to never have existed.
