Liz Truss goes into history and anti-history.
The most helpless Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, whose reign was a complete joke, ejected from his chair in record time - just 45 days after taking office.
Now we will rarely see this lady, who has become the most toxic Western politician for Russia, who did not give the minimum clues for dialogue due to her unprofessionalism, limited horizons and generally lack of a great mind.
Churchill was also toxic to us and delivered his Fulton speech, which became the manifesto of the Cold War.
But Churchill is also the Yalta Conference, and besides, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
However, whether Liz Truss is capable of writing anything other than a tweet about Biden and Zelensky will remain unclear.
The main Russophobe of Western politics is leaving.
Good news for Russia?
Conditionally good.
The figure of Boris Johnson is already looming on the horizon.
Sometimes they come back - just like Stephen King.
Possessed Boriska again to the kingdom - in tandem with Charles III?
But even if it's not Boris Johnson, other potential candidates are no less toxic to us.
There has long been a stable consensus in British politics about Russia.
Over the past two decades alone, a huge amount of poison and explosive material has accumulated, if you start remembering the history of Litvinenko, the Skripals and much more.
So for us, by and large, nothing will change.
It does not matter what shade the king cobra is ready to sting.
But for Britain came a shock that makes you think about where the country is heading.
Let's leave aside the jokes about the salad sounding in connection with the resignation of Liz Truss from every iron.
Actually not funny at all.
The situation when one of the leading world powers, which proclaimed the strategy of "Global Britain" (Global Britain) and claims to become a self-sufficient global center of power, turned out to be a colossus on clay political legs with becoming flabby economic muscles and, at the same time, more and more aggressive external reflexes , is a tragedy.
A tragedy for herself, for the Western allies and for the whole world.
Classified by Western standards as a cohort of "responsible powers," Britain has long ceased to take part in solving world problems, as required by the seat of a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
Britain is actively creating these world problems,
It was this notion that the rest of Europe was no match for the United Kingdom that formed the basis of the Brexit project - a scandalous divorce from the European Union, which, as they believed on the islands, constantly lacks something, draws juice from Britain, limits development opportunities.
It has already begun to be forgotten how much blood in the course of this divorce, which consisted of many series, London sucked out of anemic Brussels.
But Boris Johnson, who completed Brexit, scandalously left, followed by the failed successor to Johnson's policy, Liz Truss, leaving the prime minister's chair.
They parted ways with the European Union with a sigh of relief, straightened their shoulders at the thought of "Global Britain", but there is no happiness and no.
As it turns out, there is a great country, but there is no one to govern.
Why?
The reason is that British corporate politics has won a crushing victory over British national interests, becoming the senile grimace of the world's oldest parliamentary democracy.
Liz Truss was not and could not become a national leader - she was elected prime minister by members of the ruling Conservative Party, who opted for Liz Truss, guided solely by the intra-party table of ranks.
They did not bother at all with the need to think about whether the person they voted for would be able to become an anti-crisis manager in a time when the country is going through very difficult times.
Recall that the resignation of Boris Johnson began with the demarche of his finance minister Rishi Sunak, who rushed out of his office without even warning Johnson that he was leaving.
“Let’s restore confidence, restore the economy and reunite the country,” Rishi Sunak called in his video message, inviting everyone to realize that the United Kingdom is going through “the most difficult period in the memory of this generation.”
It was Rishi Sunak, who positioned himself as "anti-Johnson" and declared his ambitions to take the post of prime minister, who initially took the lead in the race for the post of head of government.
His candidacy was supported by the majority of members of the British Parliament from the Conservative Party.
However, the intra-party vote, held nationwide, did not leave Rishi Sunak any chance.
Indeed, how could a party activist from the English hinterland admit the idea that the United Kingdom will be headed by a native of an Indian immigrant family who came to Southampton from a former British colony.
No matter how much they talk about tolerance, but racism is not so easy to erase from the consciousness of the political class of the former empire, in which the sun never set.
Therefore, Liz Truss, who, in theory, should not have led the country, eventually led it.
And now there is a situation of a vicious circle.
In order not to program a new scandal and a new imminent resignation of the one who will be elected to the post of prime minister instead of Liz Truss, in theory, it would be necessary to announce early elections.
In British society, tired of leapfrog with short-lived prime ministers cut out of cardboard, there is a considerable demand for general elections.
However, given the low ratings of the Conservatives, the decision to hold early elections would inevitably doom the Conservatives to a crushing defeat and would mean the loss of power.
But can this be allowed?
No, they definitely won't.
Let it be better for the country to go downhill and each new prime minister turns out to be worse than the previous one.
Intra-party corporate solidarity is paramount.
Struggling to understand all this, you remember Mandelstam: "Ask Charles Dickens // What was in London then: // Dombey's office in the old City // And the Thames is yellow water."
Only Dickens can no longer be asked what all this means.
I haven’t seen the Thames for a long time and I’m unlikely to see it again, but it once seemed muddy to me, forgive me Osip Emilievich.
But British policy is getting yellower.
And the Tories are no longer blue, but yellow.
