She's correct about most things is she not? .............. Wait a second!🫣

Presumably she says these things to audiences abroad AND NOBODY LAUGHS.

They had it.
Trumps grotesque parody of a ‘self made man’ is to the US what BoJo’s grotesque parody of an upper class patrician was to the English

Hell, we *didn't* need a Donald Trump! But as I said with tweets a year ago, he was the culmination of a right-wing authoritarian march starting with Ronald Reagan's election in 1980.

To be fair nobody needs an either.

Kennedy is a big fan of lettuce apparently 🤣

Even Liz truss doesn't need a Liz Truss.

omletteandupwards.bsky.social•108 days ago

Truss was our Trump.

I really do wish the media would stop paying attention to her ….. it’s embarrassing

The next few years in the US are going to prove a lot of people right, and a lot of people wrong

monrouge.bsky.social•108 days ago

There's a few hanging around in the UK waiting to pounce at the next election.

hrothgir.bsky.social•108 days ago

We had Johnson and her. They're both only treated as 'real' because the media needs a freakshow

firstdan.bsky.social•108 days ago

Done that already and look where it got us.
