Oh dear, and Liz Truss has lost her 26,000 majority to crash out of Parliament..... few on any side of the house will be shedding a tear for her.

No doubt a well-paid career on the lecture circuit beckons with her able to tell a story of how she was right all along, and how the deep state & the forces of darkness stopped he in her tracks.

Some amazing results overnight and sadly I'm one of the few folks still left with a Tory MP in - Julian 'photo opportunity' Smith had a 24000 majority slashed to 1650 with Labour a close second - we're in a very rural traditional Tory voting area so that feels like a huge thing. But lovely to see the lettuce has just lost to Labour..a joy to behold 😁

I'm caught between not acknowledging the existence of this clown woman and also needing to point out how stupid it looks for a British Politician to voice support for Trump.

The people are right to mock you Liz, you deluded clowns pocket.

@lowqualityfacts In modern times it is used as a timepiece to measure the tenure of a British Prime Minister.

Today in Labor History January 31, 1606: Guy Fawkes jumped to his death moments before his execution for treason. Guy Fawkes belonged to a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes, who had converted to Catholicism, also fought in the 80-Years War for Catholic Spain against the Dutch. He later traveled to Spain seeking support for a Catholic rebellion in England. The English tortured him into confessing the names of his co-conspirators. Brits have celebrated Guy Fawkes Day ever since, usually accompanied by fireworks and burning effigies, traditionally the pope, but recently they’ve burned effigies of Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Margaret Thatcher, instead. James Sharpe, professor of history at the University of York, called Fawkes "the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions." Numerous historical novels and children’s books have been written about Fawkes, including William Harrison Ainsworth's 1841 historical romance “Guy Fawkes; or, The Gunpowder Treason.”
