The UK, one of the world's most feminist countries, has today hired its THIRD female prime minister, meaning 3 of its last 7 leaders have been women.
Other institutionally sexist countries around the world - e.g. Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, USA - take note!

Can't believe Sunak's wife is shorter than him, he's already pretty much a clinical midget himself.

And NOW, she is GONE, or SOON to GO.
Liz Truss to quit as prime minister
Liz Truss is to issue a statement resigning as prime minister after just 45 days, following the near-complete evaporation of her political authority, a process begun by last month’s disastrous mini-budget. “It’s over,” a source said.
Truss, who would become the shortest-serving prime minister in UK history, has been under pressure from Tory MPs to quit after the resignation of Suella Braverman as home secretary and as the Tory party plunged into chaos.
It is unclear whether she will step down immediately or set out a timetable for departure, with the Conservative party so far unable to coalesce around a successor, although Rishi Sunak, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt and Ben Wallace have all been mentioned as possible successors.
The final straw for many Tory MPs appeared to be the chaotic scenes on Wednesday, in which a vote on a Labour motion over fracking led to mayhem in the voting lobbies, with shouting and jostling. Afterwards, a dozen or more Conservative MPs who rebelled did not even know whether they still had the whip.
This came just five days after Truss sacked her chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, replacing him with Jeremy Hunt, the former foreign secretary and health secretary.
Truss made Kwarteng take the blame for September’s mini-budget, despite it being widely seen as a joint project. A panicked market reaction to the £45bn of largely unfunded tax cuts caused the pound to slump and the cost of new government debt to soar.
Truss, facing a mutiny by her MPs as mortgage costs rocketed, sacked Kwarteng but was unable to explain why she should stay on when the tax-cutting measures had been strongly advocated by her as well.
Another humiliation came when Hunt announced the scrapping of almost all the tax cuts, and the scaling back of Truss’s flagship scheme to cap energy bills, in an attempt to restore stability.
MPs who rebelled did not even know whether they still had the whip.
Sounds like a hell of a party game!

Liz Truss has made history, just 6 weeks in office, that’s the shortest term in office by any British Prime Minister. But as always the joke is on the taxpayer, Liz Truss is now entitled to 115k a year for the rest of her life for being an ex PM. By the way, that’s one hundred and fifteen thousand pounds a year for life. Nice work if you can get it, no wonder she was smiling when she resigned.

She is very skilled. She can make several U-turns, with her foot in her mouth, and then shoot herself in the same foot without withdrawing it from its oral position.

Boris Johnson is currently second place in the race to become the new Prime Minister:
Berlusconi, Boris, Trump. The best politicians have characterful hairstyles and refuse to be flushed!

Sad news. Boris has dropped out of this current leadership race.
He has, however, indicated interest in leading the Conservative Party to electoral triumph and resurrection at a general election in 2024. This Boris is not for turning!

It now looks highly probably that Rishi Sunak will become Prime Minister of the UK, making the Conservative Party not only the party that has provided the UK's 3 female Prime Ministers but also the party that has provided the UK's only non-white and Hindu Prime Minister. As well as being the party that legalised gay marriage and ended sexist lineage rules in the monarchy. And entered the UK into the Paris Agreement.

Rishi Sunak's wife was probably a Grade A smokeshow about ten years ago.
