my favorite aspect of British politics is that it offers virtually no possibility of a graceful exit to the prime minister, just slightly different types and degrees of humiliation
British Prime Ministers since 2015 and how long they spent in power:
David Cameron — 429 days
Theresa May — 1,106 days
Boris Johnson — 1,140 days
Liz Truss — 49 days
Rishi Sunak — 619 days
Keir Starmer — 717 days + remaining days (resigned today)
If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.
