Replying to @elonmusk
Hello Elon, you seem to have disabled name changes. I was wondering when that would be getting turned back on as I appear to have gotten myself into a bit of a situation.

Sadly it’s not going to play out like this, but LT failing to vote in a confidence motion and losing the whip would be the most sublime thing.

‘2022 UK Government crisis’ now needs disambiguating on Wikipedia.
Screenshot of Wikipedia page: # 2022 United Kingdom government crisis This article is about the mass resignation of ministers from the Johnson government in July 2022. For the Truss government crisis resulting from the September 2022 mini-budget, see September 2022 United Kingdom mini-budget.

Honestly I wasn’t expecting @KwasiKwarteng to be unmasked as the leader of the anti-growth coalition.

When you strip away the lies and bluster, the limp latin, and comedy mateyness, this is what’s left.

In an odd coincidence, I've been reading Kwasi Kwarteng's "Ghosts of Empire" (which is really good, highly recommended). One of the repeated themes is the dangers of handing massive discretionary power to inexperienced, out of touch graduates of grand public schools
