Tory MP Jokes About Liz Truss's Short Term as UK Prime Minister

"We have now had three women Conservative prime ministers — assuming the most recent one counts of course." With a smiling Theresa May sat beside him, Tory MP Robert Goodwill makes a joke about Liz Truss's short-lived time as prime minister

King Charles III set out an election-focused UK legislative agenda at the ceremonial opening of Parliament, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak focusing on a series of low-cost measures that lean heavily on right-wing politics as he tries to hold onto power in a nationwide vote expected next year.

Facing about a 20-point poll deficit against the main opposition Labour Party, Sunak’s government announced tougher sentences for criminals, more drilling for North Sea oil and gas and limited housing reforms in a pitch that aimed to draw dividing lines with Keir Starmer’s party.

He’s not from Yorkshire though. He only represents the seat because it’s the safest Tory seat in the country. Harold Wilson was the first and last PM to be actually from Yorkshire.
