Neil Gaiman answers the question 'Is she still PM?'
No, that was ages ago. Now we've got Sunak to come, then Boris again, then a random Tory MP who is slipped the runes by Boris before he vanishes off the to Seychelles, then a tub of Lard as Prime Minister before we get a General Election. https://t.co/ksljOsQEQs

My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs.

‘British politics on Wednesday 19th October, 2022.’
Explanations under the cut. :)
Thread:
I appreciate not everyone is a massive nerd. So I'm going to attempt to explain what just happened in parliament.

Because it is BEYOND batshit levels of foot-shooting by Team Truss. /1
Follow-up thread:
Right. Seems I need to do an update to this based on my messages this morning.
— John Bull (@garius) October 20, 2022
Because it seems we are NOT done with the chaos (non-Miliband). As several MPs are saying they've been told this WAS a confidence vote. /1 https://t.co/nJinGwr5jP
And finally, this is just hilarious (The Secret Tory is always funny):

Also HI! Hope you are managing. Saw your Thanksgiving post, and hope that optimism will carry on - with actual good things to come also.
Sidebar: I sent some money, did it get to you or did Paypal eat it? I could just have missed something somewhere, but wanted to make sure. <3

We are managing but worried about the future for sure. We've just gotta hang in a little longer, yeah? :D
It did, dearest one! I thought I did a thank you post, but it seems that I thought I put EB in there and I did not. I do apologize! It did arrive on 11/06 and it helped us out so, so much. Thank you, dearest one! And to be sure, I did update my thank you post, as you deserve proper thanks and extra cuddles for my brain not working.
*SQUISHES*

Why are Conservatives only capable of breaking things??? /rhetorical question

I admire your incredible optimism, it's like a super power! (And I mean that. Hope and optimism are vital in affecting outcomes.)
It did, dearest one!
Oh good! I don't need thanks, I was just worried a black hole had eaten it, and didn't want you to go without. *MANY HUGS*
