Crazy that the queen has the final say in a special election. I had always heard the British monarchy was symbolic without any real power.

I watched British parliament for the first time today, it was the most interesting politics i ever seen, They just roasted each other. It was hilarious

"Oh boy, my callous leader can finally be replaced with another one of the exact same caliber!" Average brit 2022

[treyhudson]

Why can't we call out BS like that here?

[JackG]

Does anyone honestly believe that "Ukraine policy" would be any different under a Labour gov't or a Labour/Lib Dem coalition? Let's get real, guys.

Would still like to know why the media is silent on the Epstein list??

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”

Reporting from Highland Park on UK stories. Nice.

People you could see the evil in that PM😈😈😈👿👿👿😈😈👿😈👿😈👿

[aneesh]

He cares more about ukraine than his own people

[katiepersons]

His longevity truly is the stuff of legends. Every time the people are like "We really got him this time!" and then against all odds he weasels his way out of it.

I hope these guys don’t get paid after resigning

[brweeks]

He's like the booger that won't flick.

[ameliataylor]

the idea that the queen will seriously get involved is highly unlikely, as is the idea that this will seriously threaten our policy on ukraine .... the new leader will be from the same party and will likely retain the defense minister ben wallace, who is anyway the most popular candidate for leadership

[TheMightyPatapon]

Boris has always been a clown. With any luck, the UK will be rid of him.

[DARWINZOO]

Can one American envision an American president speak like anyone in parliament?

[lilacsky]

about the entire idiocricy of all in omg man, just let it all die, now.

[bradhunt]

BoJo is right out of Mao Tse-Tung Little Red Book . Same with Biden.

[alloounou]

My question is why are they reporting this? What is their motivation?

[tjsbbi]

Good to see the British keeping their eyes on the big picture... What's that? ... Christmas parties scandal? OFFS.
