Have people considered that maybe all of this is just a conspiracy by Tory monarchists to restore the power of the monarchy by being such an incompetent disaster that the new King has to step in?

A long time ago, I read the Honor Harrington series and at one point in the series I felt the books got ridiculous because the government of the protagonists suddenly flipped to a group of completely incompetent morons that seemingly did everything wrong at every turn.  Sure, later it was revealed there was some kind of tech/shadow group behind it all but the UK is currently making me re-evaluate my incredulity towards the series during that point of the plot arc.  The sheer single digit IQ level of stupidity required to do what the UK government officials are doing is stunning and yet in the US republicans are just muttering under their breath: "Hold my dollar store beer, fam"

The resignation letter is well worth a read, even you you agree that Bravermann should never have been anywhere near government in the first place.

How did she not blame it on Hunter Biden though? Is that not a thing over there yet..?

Or are they already over it? Pretty responsible politician. Refreshingly so.

Can someone explain what the Torries in power are trying to do? From what I've read they keep nearly collapsing the UK economy and accusing each other of incompetence, but I have trouble understanding what their legislative goals are.

What do the Conservatives actually want from a PM?

Braverman's replacement is Grant Schapps, who was a vocal critic of Truss during her leadership campaign.

The Tories aren't even bothering to pretend Truss is in control now.

I think the important questions of the day are
1) Can Truss can break Johnson's record for resignations?
2) Will she go scorched earth on the party that has stripped her of power, and call a GE?

Nope.  This is clearly a puppet administration, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremy Hunt was holding all of them (using a kegel exercise).

I was under the impression from the Brits working healthcare that Hunt already had a slew of rhyming nicknames, particularly from the nurses and doctors who made it seem got a raw end in cost cutting in hospitals.

The former would take some doing by the Tories to even allow, and the latter would require her to have self-awareness and humility about her economic plan not working and admitting that her party as a whole are unfit to lead at the moment.

Race is a social construct, and Braverman and Karteng's over-the-top, Captain Planet villainy transcends any ethnic or cultural boundaries. It's perversely inspiring how farking terrible conservatives are the world 'round; We are all humans on the inside. They are just awful humans.

The complete deregulation of the UK so that they are free to do whatever they want, combined with a draconian legal system that severely punishes anyone who does things that they don't like, like be foreign or compassionate.

An end to political correctness, outlawing being a snowflakes and also that people aren't allowed to be rude about them or the queen.

Also house prices must go up forever and if that also completely farks things for the next generation then that's a massive bonus.

Goal #1. Make Brexit not suck. Brexit was a stupid decision and it's biting British citizens in the ass. The Eurozone does not want to hurt Britain, but rules are rules. The UK can not be free riders in the system or else the system collapses back into feudal war.

Goal #2. Tax cuts, especially for big money finance players in London and foreign investors looking to get a monopoly on real estate.

Goal #3. Slash and burn the healthcare system so they can privatize it, despite that position being super unpopular with voters of all political views.

Goal #4. Crack down on people being mean to Tories. Censorship is fine as long as it's hiatting those who criticize you or the royal family. The other kind of censorship, where Labor and Liberal Dems are punished for being oppositional views is 100% okay.

Goal #5. Stigginit

This is how the C word will enter the latest cockney lingo. At least temporarily until Jeremy himself is sacked. As a tory he is automatically a Jeremy.
