UK Prime Ministerial tenures since Milk-Snatcher Thatcher, approximated as lettuces

@SadKitten probs prefers fish

[trashboypro@eldritch.cafe]

@urlyman I'm sorry but this is incorrect. The lettuce outluved Liz Truss' prime ministership.

[16bit@chaos.social]

@urlyman So, good News for the Farmer….

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@trashboypro hence the word ‘approximated’. And a 7-week old cut lettuce is for sure past its best

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@urlyman I think we should limit politicians to 1 lettuce tenure from now on

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@staringatclouds I favour sortition over a cooler-box-constitution

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@urlyman We can keep the lettuce in the cooler, brilliant!

Seconded

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@16bit if they have a margin after the supermarkets have gouged them, I guess

[rokabe@mastodon.social]

@urlyman so glad I discovered this 'little gem' of a post

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@rokabe thank you. Happy to ship fresh produce, and welcome all leafy puns

@urlyman @kotaro It’s all good. I am American. Painful political memories/day-to-day is the air I breathe.

@urlyman think Ms Truss has been unduly demonised as plenty of evidence to show it was already crashing, and a cynical person may suggest a lot of the rhetoric came from Mr Sunak's camp because he was not happy at loosing. Not saying she did right or was blameless because that's incorrect but trying to trigger growth, the economy and provide tax cuts for those most needing it was a very good thing. The current lot of GDP chasers, and the Tories before them, have done the polar opposite and generated nothing from it.

@Thebratdragon @urlyman and a mouse (it’d make crossing the floor an interesting exercise)

@weirdunits

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@EF we’ll agree to differ. If I could I’d probably have someone like James Meadway reply

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@urlyman you sir, are brilliant 🤌

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

[happypete@mstdn.social]

@urlyman @EF he should know that the day before the budget in question was published the Bank of England announced that they were about to start quantitative tightening…..

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@happypete pretty sure James acknowledges the BoE fkery. But also that he would tear the Tufton Street crowd a new one while integrating climate strategising
