Never mind that, will it be a case of “if wet, in the church hall” and will there be tea and biscuits? ---

For me the big question is whether the Civil War will last linger than Liz Truss (Trump supporter) did as our Prime Minister: **Mary Elizabeth Truss** (born 26 July 1975) is a British politician who served as [Prime Minister of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom) and [Leader of the Conservative Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leader_of_the_Conservative_Party_(UK)) from September to October 2022. On her fiftieth day [in office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiership_of_Liz_Truss), she stepped down amid [a government crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2022_United_Kingdom_government_crisis), making her the [shortest-serving prime minister](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_ministers_of_the_United_Kingdom_by_length_of_tenure) in British history. 😀 ---
