Not gonna lie I feel so bad for the future history students that are going to have to study this period in British politics. We've had four chancellors in the past 4 months. Three PMs in a year. I'm this much of a nerd and I could not tell you who's in the cabinet right now, nor am I gonna learn since they'll all be different in a week anyway.
They're gonna have to learn so many names 🤭

More weird UK political stuff
Jacob Rees-Mogg (who is not some sort of landed gentry or political scion, he’s a weird and damaged person who has just been cos-playing an old Tory politician for over thirty years) has admitted on camera that the Tories (our right wing party, aka the Conservatives) tried to prevent non-Tory voters from voting with their Photo ID scheme
Admitted it, not even pretending it was anything but what loads of us suspected
But because it backfired on them (apparently it was old people who failed to vote, got turned away from the polling stations, old people who usually vote Tory) he seems to think it’s all a bit of a joke now…

Jacob Rees-Mogg crying about the government emergency alert thing is fucking hilarious because I honestly didn't think he had discovered mobile telephones yet. I always assume he sent his tweets via a typewriter or telegraph.

'Minimum wage is destroying jobs and must be cut', Liz Truss's economy group claims
They propose freezing the national minimum wage at its current level before going on to reduce the minimum amount a worker can be paid.
As of April, those aged 23 and over earn a minimum of £10.42 per hour.
Those aged 21-22 must be paid a minimum of £10.18, while 18 to 20-year-olds receive £7.49 and under 18s and apprentices are eligible for a £5.28 hourly rate.
Commission co-chairman Shanker Singham said the group was “concerned about how high” the UK’s minimum wage is compared with other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which includes members such as the US, France and Japan.
Singham said: “There is nothing wrong with the minimum wage. What matters in terms of competition is where it is set.
“What we are intending to do in the UK is move it to 66% of median wage, which is far higher than any other OECD country by next year and will be a significant drag on the economy.

This looks like one of those photos where you find out the dad later kept them chained in a basement or something.
