NYT headline today:
Frustrated Britons Have Little Sympathy for Truss
Prime Minister Liz Truss's resignation, yet another episode of political instability, only added to concerns over galloping inflation and a looming economic crisis.

Liz Truss has been one of the loudest and most demagogic cheerleaders for Brexit, a move that its supporters promised would restore Britain's sovereignty by freeing the country from the "tyranny" of all those faceless technocrats in Brussels.
So her having to resign after just 45 days in office because the faceless bond trading technocrats in Frankfurt and Paris thought her economic plan was nonsense is both deliciously ironic and the type of exit this profoundly incompetent politician deserves.
So it seems like Brexit isn't allowing Britain to run and hide from the world after all. It's a pity it didn't learn that lesson sooner.
