Utterly delusional. Your main opposition party doesn't oppose the regime; your supreme court and your law firms have given up on the rule of law; and European countries are re-arming to defend themselves against your military. That sort of thing doesnt change in one generation, let alone four years.

Truss didnt do any damage because we have a functioning political system. And Johnson lost his job, for lying, because we have a functioning political system.

Cole Porter was a serious master of innuendo. There is no way that a flamboyantly gay man accidentally wrote the lyrics "baby I'm the bottom, you're the top"
