Is it so she can announce, again, there's an AUS-UK trade deal in the offing?

It'll be the 32nd time, and still Brexit will be trundling along pointlessly fucking people's lives up.

But Australia plays well with the base. Sunshine, can do attitude, no pooftahs, shrimps on the barbie, nice Kylie Minogue/Natalie Imbruglia/Melissa George/Hemsworth brothers/Hugh Jackman, no pooftahs, AUSSIE STYLE!, bullying the aborigines, MASSIVE PRAWNS!, no pooftahs...

The Sun...

The moneychangers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply values more noble than mere monetary profit.

It was good of him to skirt around the recent Cricketing debacle.

If I were Australian I'd be making a deal with Cthulhu and R'lyeh. It's closer.

I saw on the news tonight that Truss was in Brussels today to meet NATO Foreign Ministers. Whilst most foreign ministers went straight into the building Truss posed outside in her new fur coat for her personal photographer. And sure enough a few hours later the picture is now on her Twitter home page. I'm glad to see she has got her prioritise right!

Might just have been worth it, except she came back.

A case where a planeload of fur babies would be preferable.

She covered this in the Eddie Mair when talking about changing her mind over Brexit, apparently she is exempt.

Given Truss’s failures today in Russia (and to be fair, it’s not like the Russians are being friendly just now), I wonder if her star has sunk at all in the inevitable leadership race.

Or, whether long game Putin is attempting to hamstring a potential replacement in full knowledge Sunak is going to soon take heat for the cost of living crisis to make it more likely the assclown in chief stays in post to make things a little bit worse for a little bit longer.

So, the Secretary of State for Selfies has humiliated her country, her office, and herself in Moscow today.

Poorly briefed, utterly vacuous, self-absorbed, and treating the whole visit as a photo opportunity - Lavrov really must think that the UK is taking the piss.

TAlK LOUDLY OVER JOHNNY FOREIGNER!

There’s a lot of this sanctimonious bollocks going around. You don’t blame the other team for running rings around you. Especially when your manager put a donkey in centre forward. The anger should directed at one man for this unprecedented humiliation and its not Putin who appointed Truss, although he may as well have done.

I was persuaded by the "keep in mind who is the bad guy" here for a couple of hours.

Then I thought, sod it. I'm laughing. Maybe that'll improve her preparation.
