Okay, but did the lettuce get a seat?

it's still wild to me that I lived in London a total of 4 months, and somehow there was 3 different pms while I was there.

Finally someone is asking the right question.

why was she running? her biggest achievement is fucking off immediately after being burdened with any responsibility. the absolute audacity.

[โ€“] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mostly because of her overwhelming sense of entitlement.

In her head, it's her seat, and she deserves to be elected with a giant majority regardless of how useless she actually is.

She wanted to be in the prime position of rebuilding the Tory party with her anti deep state, libertarian ass hattery. It has been obvious since she fucked up that the Tories were going to lose this election big time and she had one of the safest seats in the Country so she would have been confident she would have retained it.

The other option she would have wanted to achieve this aim, to be promoted to the House of Lords, is out as there is currently a queue of ex PMs as no Tory PM wanted to promote either Blair or Brown and its normally done in order.

Make no mistake, there is going to be a vicious fight of the direction the Tories take with this period of rebuilding.

Her only achievement was being 2 days in being prime minister when the Queen died
