Liz Truss unveils resignation honours list - BBC News
FARCICAL...
The brainless idiot Truss, who crashed the British economy almost overnight as a very short-lived Prime Minister, now gets to honour her accomplices and supporters, ffs.
She's a laughing stock, a fool and a national embarrassment, but still gets to hand out awards and Lordships.
Labour's shadow Cabinet Office minister Jonathan Ashworth said: "This list is proof positive of Rishi Sunak's weakness and a slap in the face to working people who are paying the price of the Tories crashing the economy.
"Honours should be for those committed to public service, not rewards for Tory failure."
Deputy Lib Dem leader Daisy Cooper said: "Truss handing out gongs after blowing a hole in the public finances and leaving families reeling from spiralling mortgage costs calls this whole honours system into disrepute."
You can say that again...

Pratchett’s writing is often misunderstood politically because he comes from a sort of white background alien to a lot of North Americans tumblr readers, whose parents and/or grandparents would have been white whitecollar or adjacent workers trying to hitch a ride on the corporate 20thC boom. However thankfully I’m equipped to interpret it because Pratchett’s native ideological ground is Philosophy of My Dad

Cam then gifts Iseul and Grace their presents. Grace gets a cute succulent plant that she can put in in her office, and she thanks Cam before safely putting it away in the guest room where she'll pack it up. Cam then gifts Iseul a red grim figurine. "Thanks Cammy, it'll look nice on my coffee table." Iseul says, grinning.
Plus, Grace shows off her ring* to Min Jun and Cam, who ooh and aah over it. "Nice." Cam says, eyeing the gem. "I hope I don't sound too sappy, but I'm so honoured** to join your family and you all have been so lovely and welcoming." Grace says, and Min Jun, Paenji, and Cam all smile. "We were waiting for my sis to finally propose so you could officially join us." Min Jun adds playfully and Iseul grins. "Seriously, Grace, we thought of you as part of our family since Iseul introduced you and now it's just official." Paenji says warmly, and Grace smiles, her eyes tearing up. "Thank you, Paenji." She says. "Yeah, you're one of us now, auntie Grace which means we can roast and tease each other. Plus, I'll teach you curses and jokes in Korean and you'll teach me some in Urdu." Cam says, and Grace laughs. "I'd like that, Cam." She says.
