British Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng and Prime Minister Liz Truss.
I don’t know what you make of the new TV series about Boris Johnson. It’s called This England, and apparently, there’s a sequel already in the works about Liz Truss. It’s going to be called This England, torn to shreds.
They may not get it past the script editors though, on the grounds of believability. Take some of the minor characters for starters. Simon Clarke, for instance. Of all things, he is the “Levelling Up Minister” of the United Kingdom (that sounds a bit more real with capital letters). I think he might be bonkers.
