Y'all are having a rough go, but I do think there's still much more accountability over there than here. The fact BoJo ended up sacked partly for lying about the party during COVID is pretty big compared to everything the republicans get away with here. And then the Truss debacle. Sunak isn't much better I'm sure, but at least I'm not getting daily alerts on him.
Is there anything about George Santos that isn't a lie? >

The power Republican voters gave him. >

Santos has reportedly been assigned to the small business committee and the science, space and technology committee, multiple news outlets reported.
Strange times we are living in. >

And then MTG is placed on the Homeland Security Committee. Feels like a sick joke. >

Fuck off! There is no wa....
Holy shit you're not actually joking!
They put a major conspiracy theorist on the Homeland Security Committee. Didn't she even say that 9/11 was a conspiracy...?
I wish you all well over there in the US.
EDIT: Spelling >

Its worse than that, she stated that if she had planned the january 6th insurrection, they would have won and there would have been more guns. >

Someone advocating for domestic terrorism appointed to the Homeland Security Committee? That's just lazy writing. >

Nah it’s a major plot twist 😂 >

And now I will appoint MTG to the Homeland Security Committee for no apparent raisin! >

Haha 😂 all jokes aside I’m fairly certain McCarthy struck a deal with her for her vote on his speakership. They always say committee assignments aren’t guaranteed yet this definitely seems suspicious. Especially considering their contentious relationship in the past. >

And, in fact, the GOP are sending their best. >

Hahaha. This guy is a legend.
Oh I'm not Jewish, but I identify as Jew-ish. >

At this point, I think he needs to post his birth certificate. >

True. He might be lying about being alive. >

How do we know George Santos isn’t a swarm of 700 cockroaches in a trench coat?? >

He sure acts like one >

Hey, don't be so rude towards cockroaches. They deserve better than being compared to him. >

Holy shit this dude shouldn’t be in Congress. 
The people who elected him should feel ashamed, but knowing republicans, they’re probably proud. >

Kevin McCarthy has put the goalposts on a dragstrip on how often he has to move from, "Well, I won't ask him to resign unless he's accused of..." >

Didn't he say "Convicted Of", practically guaranteeing he'll stay in office for 2 years? >

Kevin McCarthy is the biggest political whore of the 20's.  Don't even know why he wanted the house speaker.  The amount of things he's going to have to bend over to give, for him to have that seat is not worth the position. >

take it from a country that keeps changing prime minister: the appeal of having the name in the history books, portrait somewhere in the building, a fancy honorary title etc is apparently very appealing, even if you turn out to be terrible at the job >

Ah, no. See they elected that guy to speaker. We keep missing that important democratic bit. >

tbf tory party members did get a say and we got truss, so it's probably for the best that they don't get asked the second time >

Good point. They can definitely be trusted to operate in the public interest and choose the best person for the job.
