Tories (Another Generic One)

The post-Boris Conservative Party leadership is now trussed and ready for the oven:
Liz Truss will be the next prime minister of the U.K. after comfortably seeing off rival Rishi Sunak in the race to lead the governing Conservative Party.
Truss, currently the U.K’s foreign secretary, won 81,326 votes (57.4 percent) from Conservative members versus 60,399 (42.6 percent) for Sunak, the former chancellor who quit over his differences with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Truss will fly to Balmoral, the queen’s Highland estate, on Tuesday to be officially sworn in as prime minister before choosing her new Cabinet against a backdrop of economic turmoil in the U.K.
Wait — economic turmoil, you say? It’s enough to make me think that Brexit may have just been a spasm of xenophobia that will make the problems it purported to address even worse!
