Is it wrong that my immediate thought was that Sturgeon would be in middle of the road as Truss was driven up, with a rocket launcher on her shoulder?

He ain't coming back unless there is an awful lot in it for him personally - he is too narcissistic - first chance he gets he flicks the party that loves him the vee's and goes off to make some money. In reality he should attend he should do a GPC speech and tell them to forget him and to get behind truss but he isn't even bothered about that

Ousted Boris Johnson 'to skip Tory conference and coin it in with speeches'
The Prime Minister will fly to Balmoral tomorrow to give his resignation to the Queen - and reports have been swirling that he will make a packet in after-dinner speeches as a backbench MP

Did you watch his 'Snowflake' show on BBC2 last night?

Recorded it but not watched it yet, looking forward to it. I see he's got a new show 'Basic Lee', in London latter part of this year and then touring it in early 2023; somehow I doubt they'll be too much that's 'basic' about it.

Haha, post more Kurosawa.
Very quotable movie. I like the ending.
"Great" men are the worst. They are either heroes, like Churchill, if someone else started the fight. Or, like Putin, they are doomed to bring more suffering, because the myth in them - and the effects of their leadership inevitably lead them to start a war, it's the path they've been walking all along.
Boris is just... no. Borrowed all the signifiers of such a man. People even believed there was a fight, and that somehow, we didn't start it almost out of nothing, and weren't being provoked to take that bait by the Putins.
He wouldn't fight, that's for sure. But he'd wave the flag. Worse, he'd happily watch us all endure misery, trauma, and loss, poor health, poor education, poor societal behaviour, because the threat of more chaos and suffering only exacerbates the appetite for shallow images that people mistake for leadership.
Why does it work that way? Because it does. It always has, always will. That's all you need to know. You cannot change it without seizing the moment after tragic, shocking events. There has to be a pause afterwards to let the lessons and grief and regret work. Then you must provide sustained education and investment in as many people as possible, for their benefit as humans - rather than the economy. Then people feel good enough about what they were given, and will be confident enough not to fall for the predictable pitfalls. They will be educated and smart enough to make an effort to defend the system that nurtured them.

If it happens today it's Bojo. He's still PM until Liz accepts his resignation and allows RoboLiz to take over.
