    Default Liz Truss resigns as UK Prime Minister

    The UK Prime Minister, someone or other, has resigned today. Our resigned PM was in office for a shorter period than the leader selection process took. She resigns after a u-turn on a high end tax-break policy, and Jeremy Hunt and Grant Shapps being appointed to senior positions in the cabinet; these two are globalist continuity stooges. Parliament plan to replace her within the week after changing the rules.

    Honestly I don't see any favourable option in any direction, there's too much invested in them following the global script. Hate for specific politicians just blindsides that noble truth.

    Alexander Mercouris' take, just 16 minutes, on the whole extraordinary, chaotic scene. It was recorded shortly before Liz Truss actually resigned, but everything he states is valid. He knew for sure she would be gone within hours.

    (In fact, Mercouris has been 100% correct in every one of his predictions over the last few months. He's by far the most astute geopolitical analyst I'm aware of.)

    Liz Truss resigns, regime change success

    Just saw this ... I'm not familiar with Lois Perry but she is sounding the alarm and you don't hear this kind of thing very often - so well done to her and GBNews and Mark Steyn - the treacherous BBC, ITV, Channel 4 + 5 etc would never in a million years be allowed say this -

    'UK Government has been taken over by sleeper agents' says Lois Perry



    A couple of comments from below the 5:36 min. video...

    Quote "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself." Cicero, circa 40 B.C.
    and a reply to the above...

    Quote We've got the entire British establishment in politics, academia, civil service, media, legal system, police, education system and the arts all trying to destroy is from within. Cicero would have had an accident in his toga if he'd have had to take on that lot !
    We are drowning in traitors and the attacks are coming from all angles - democracy such as it is didn't last long did it... every adult in Britain was given the vote in 1928 to participate in the political decision making - and within 100 years it's all falling apart at an alarming rate - after decades of infiltration as per mentioned above... the Common People, the General Public are shamelessly manipulated and disrespected...

    Liz Truss resigns, regime change success

    I need some enlightened help: as to the meaning of literally the last two seconds of this conversation: what has the return of the ‘remainer establishment’ done to the UK government that is so dreadful?
    I am not entirely ignorant. I realize a) that the view on mainland Europe shared by remainers in the UK is that Brexit is the cause of Britain’s economic woes (around 16% loss of trade I read the other day); b) that the received wisdom on Avalon is that the EU is the devil in disguise; c) that Mercouris is blaming Britain for its involvement in Ukraine; d) that Europe (Macron friend or foe? the jury is no longer out) is less prone to see Putin as the devil in disguise, and more as a (difficult) neighbour.
    In light of the the above, like Liz Truss (for just this once), I am ‘genuinely unclear’ as to Mercouris’ position. If he is both pro-Brexit and anti-Ukraine war, then that would doubtless lead to internal conflict. Clearly, as I suggested earlier he is also anti-Labour, i.e. pro-Conservative; he states here that no one thinks Starmer has a solution. Maybe he doesn’t, but maybe as a bona fide politician Starmer may be able to negociate something with his international partners – that’s how it works, and that would be progress on the current stalemate. A little give and take never did any harm.
    What Brexit and the war in Ukraine (regardless of responsibilities) have in common is of course that both involve violent rejection of one’s neighbours. They are mirror images of each other. The UK rejects France, Germany… Russia/Ukraine embrace each other in some ways too closely. The outcome in each case is self-harm.

    'Remainer establishment' = pro-EU = pro-Ukraine = pro-sanctions = economic destruction of Europe and the UK.

    no.... neither Brexit nor the 'war' in Ukraine is the violent rejection of one's neighbours...

    both are, in their own way, a rejection of Globalism and tyranny -

    How many men go unknowing and without understanding through all the rooms, all the secret hidden places in this palace, unseeing, uncomprehending, worse than a blind man, or as the saying goes, as a donkey on a bagpipe, because they have not been sufficiently prepared and made worthy.

    Bill, Araucaria.

    Yes Araucaria, I agree with both your points a) and b). Alas Bill, I think you are mistaken in your support for Brexit.
    The opinion shared with me, a Belgian [and fully bicultural (Dutch-French) citizen of the broken, "wrecked" polity which used to be Duchy of Burgundy = the 17 Provinces = “Leo Belgicus” = the Low Lands by the Sea, which contributed literature, philosophy, painting, sculpture, music, economy, industry and engineering essential to the European identity – broken, that is, in the NATO servile Netherlands and servile “Belgium D.C.”] ..shared with me by many French is the old suspicion de Gaulle (staunch anti-NATO and the victim of I think more than 20 (unsuccessful) attempts at his life by Anglosaxonia’s secret services) had about the UK joining the European Community/later Union: that the UK would join it to wreck it. And Brexit was indeed meant to be Wrexit.
    In this part of the world (Southern France), there are quite a number of Brits. They all speak French moderately to very well, with a "sympathique" accent of course, why not. They have a very low opinion of their compatriot politicians and citizens who wrecked it (it being the UK itself and quite a part of the European Union). A lot of them are small business owners: the turnover they raised by having access to both the UK and the French markets does not exist any more. In their day dreams they strangle Brexiteer politicians.
    The general opinion is that if the UK had stayed in the EU they might have helped reform the EU – which reform will anyhow happen in the wake of the Ukrainian disaster – and now the opinion (even among the Brits over here!) is "let them" (the Brexiting Brits) "eat their s..t” (which is indeed happening).
    Why this attitude about "la perfide Albion"? If you go through the many postings on PA, you can guess why: the Anglo-Saxon Mission is not only a thing of the future; it is essentially also a thing of the past.
    Boris Johnson is indeed a major player both in the Brexit disaster that is ruining the UK and in the Ukrainian disaster. His personification of both calamities blatantly shows that both are part of the same plot. Europe "de l’Atlantique à l’Oural" (from the Atlantic to the Ural) – which was De Gaulle’s dream and design (in the wake of Alexandre Kojève!) – needed to be wrecked according to the unicultural suprematist and exceptionalist Anglosaxonians: one of its chapters was Brexit, the most recent one is the "sanctions" against the Russian European pillar that quite comfortably also "wreck" Germany (an old dream since the 17th century) and – almost – France (both constituting, together with the heirs to the Burgundian Duchy (Benelux), Charlemagne’s empire).
    So that when the UK disappears into the waves it claims to rule – do the Anglosaxionians really think that the "continental" Europeans will shed a tear if they themselves do not?

    Europe is also impacted by the inflation issues, as is the USA and Australia.

    Boris and Truss were both remainers but changed tack as they knew which way the wind was blowing.
    Boris never thought leave would win and he looked very sheepish after the referendum.

    I'm starting to wonder if there are steadier hands at work behind the curtain. For all we know, 'Britain' might already be making plans ( or even committed ) to join BRICS as soon as this crash and flush out has run it's course.

    Bill, Araucaria.

    Yes Araucaria, I agree with both your points a) and b). Alas Bill, I think you are mistaken in your support for Brexit.
    The opinion shared with me, a Belgian [and fully bicultural (Dutch-French) citizen of the broken, "wrecked" polity which used to be Duchy of Burgundy = the 17 Provinces = “Leo Belgicus” = the Low Lands by the Sea, which contributed literature, philosophy, painting, sculpture, music, economy, industry and engineering essential to the European identity – broken, that is, in the NATO servile Netherlands and servile “Belgium D.C.”] ..shared with me by many French is the old suspicion de Gaulle (staunch anti-NATO and the victim of I think more than 20 (unsuccessful) attempts at his life by Anglosaxonia’s secret services) had about the UK joining the European Community/later Union: that the UK would join it to wreck it. And Brexit was indeed meant to be Wrexit.
    In this part of the world (Southern France), there are quite a number of Brits. They all speak French moderately to very well, with a "sympathique" accent of course, why not. They have a very low opinion of their compatriot politicians and citizens who wrecked it (it being the UK itself and quite a part of the European Union). A lot of them are small business owners: the turnover they raised by having access to both the UK and the French markets does not exist any more. In their day dreams they strangle Brexiteer politicians.
    The general opinion is that if the UK had stayed in the EU they might have helped reform the EU – which reform will anyhow happen in the wake of the Ukrainian disaster – and now the opinion (even among the Brits over here!) is "let them" (the Brexiting Brits) "eat their s..t” (which is indeed happening).
    Why this attitude about "la perfide Albion"? If you go through the many postings on PA, you can guess why: the Anglo-Saxon Mission is not only a thing of the future; it is essentially also a thing of the past.
    Boris Johnson is indeed a major player both in the Brexit disaster that is ruining the UK and in the Ukrainian disaster. His personification of both calamities blatantly shows that both are part of the same plot. Europe "de l’Atlantique à l’Oural" (from the Atlantic to the Ural) – which was De Gaulle’s dream and design (in the wake of Alexandre Kojève!) – needed to be wrecked according to the unicultural suprematist and exceptionalist Anglosaxonians: one of its chapters was Brexit, the most recent one is the "sanctions" against the Russian European pillar that quite comfortably also "wreck" Germany (an old dream since the 17th century) and – almost – France (both constituting, together with the heirs to the Burgundian Duchy (Benelux), Charlemagne’s empire).
    So that when the UK disappears into the waves it claims to rule – do the Anglosaxionians really think that the "continental" Europeans will shed a tear if they themselves do not?
    I could talk about brexit till the cows come home so I will bite on one point, and rant back at your rant: there was no chance of reforming the EU. What magic sauce do you think the UK had to help reform that the current members don't have? Let me try and answer my own question: rebellion is that magic sauce. The awkwardness that Farage brought when he was there, if that didn't cause enough momentum of rebellion to change it from within then, no, the UK can't help reform it. Also, no, the UK does not actually think it rules the waves urgh

    If anyone thought or intended brexit to have negative repercussions in Europe, let alone the power to "wreck" anything it certainly wasn't the people who voted for it, they only considered the UK, they expected the tidal wave of migrants to stop (it hasn't, it's far worse now), to stop the UK losing more powers to Brussels & getting things like fishing rights back. None of it was quite thought through, and of course the whole thing was utterly bodged, most likely on purpose.

    The ruling Elite on the other hand had it's own ideas & plans, most we can only guess at, but keeping the Pound (Sterling), and stopping overseas powers having any control over the City of London is obviously central, I think it was the talk of financial controls that triggered brexit tbh.

    As for the Ukraine thing, well there is only one viewpoint allowed on that just like there is on Israel.

    The destructive things descending on Europe, and I include the UK in that because it is part of Europe, are a direct result of US policy, via NATO, which is in reality a control mechanism over the members of it. The policies the German gov & the EU have brought in are things they have done themselves, because the US told them to.

    As for ex-pat Brits, esp in France, they are in no way a measure of actual Brits living in the UK, they are almost exclusively of a particular class & mindset, with different vested interests to people living in the UK. Because they know UK politics & are quite jaded they feel the continent has options and freedoms the UK hasn't got, mainly because they don't understand enough about it & how the deepstate operates.

    I've not heard anyone more extreme in their support of "Ukraine" than Ursula von der Leyen, and she isn't an anglosaxon. This isn't about nations, it's about a group that spans nations that have powers they shouldn't have, a group that democracy seems impotent before.

    This guy was a genius... and the Lettuce won!

    Iceberg lettuce in blond wig outlasts Liz Truss
    Quote A wilting 60p iceberg lettuce from Tesco in a blond wig has been crowned the winner of a bizarre competition after outlasting Liz Truss’s tenuous grip on power.

    Seven days ago the Daily Star set up a webcam on the lettuce to see if it would have a longer shelf-life than the prime minister. To add to Truss’s humiliating resignation, the lettuce won.

    I suppose I should post her resignation speech. I think she is saying more than she says. The sad afterthought: if she was a WEF puppet etc I don't think she would have resigned; a kind of "witch trial" approach to gauging people we might want to trust. Don't know how much merit that has, but she looks happy in the video. I'll give her something: 44 days in the job in one of the most turbulent global political climates and all she gets is ridiculed, compared to a lettuce and Public Duty Cost Allowance (PDCDA), worth up to £115,000, every year for the rest of her life.

    Liz Truss resignation speech in full: Read and watch every word of the Prime Minister’s statement
    Liz Truss is set to become the shortest serving Prime Minister in history after she battled an open revolt from Conservatives demanding her departure
    https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/li...tement-1923282
    What did Liz Truss say?
    Speaking in Downing Street, with her husband Hugh O’Leary alongside her, Ms Truss said: “I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability.

    “Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills.

    “Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent.

    “And our country had been held back for too long by low economic growth.

    “I was elected by the Conservative Party with a mandate to change this.

    “We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance.

    “And we set out a vision for a low tax, high growth economy – that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.

    “I recognise though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.

    “I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as Leader of the Conservative Party.

    “This morning I met the Chair of the 1922 Committee Sir Graham Brady.

    “We have agreed there will be a leadership election to be completed in the next week.

    “This will ensure we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security.

    “I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.

    “Thank you.”
