Britain's shortest Prime Minister

 Honestly, she's tiny. Today she has gone. 

I did feel sorry for her. She was the anti Rishi vote really because nobody wanted to reward the backstabber. 

Watching her resignation speech I could see she was glad to get be getting out of there, the poor woman has probably not slept a wink and will be relieved to have the pressure off. 

In all fairness, she did what she said she would do. Cut taxes. Now, I remember her and her chancellor - Kwasi Kwarteng from a book they were involved with together called Britannia Unchanged. 

I remember saying to someone that I suspected the appointment of Kwasi was would you believe a political one. Let's go back to Rishi who replaced Sajid. Sajid father was a bus driver - something he liked to keep quiet - joke. He was always on about it. Coming from the May days and thinking he was good in local government (I've heard both sides) he was gone at the beginning of the pandemic. 

The appointment of the entirely unheard of Rishi Sunak was I think, to avoid a race card. Initially one suspected that Kwasi's appointment was to play a race card but now, on reflection, its more likely they were friends. 

She fired him. I wonder what their relationship is like now. Hopefully they are close again and both realised both did badly. They shouldn't have. 

Both, in my opinion were let down by the press and yet again the party. It was round after round of 'blame the black man' in the media. Then it was clear that there was no respect for Truss as leader of the party. In the end I felt terribly sorry for her.

No one has said she was badly treated as a woman but deep down I think we all know that if it had been the likes of say, William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith making those decisions as PM and Chancellor, it would have been a success due to their radicalism and fast track conservatism.

All the so called Trussonmics was a tax cut back to how it was under Labour. So bit of a storm in a teacup and now she's gone.

Whatever next?
