        ITV’s This Morning thought it would be a good idea to introduce the current PM to Britain’s most tattooed mom.

        Not sure what Britons are meant to learn about Rishi Sunak, or what yet another Tory government would have in store for them, from his take on sandwiches, coke, or chatting with an OnlyFans model ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      He should think himself lucky to be even invited indoors after his performance this election.

      Genuinely think he did it out of spite for the membership picking Liz Truss over him, although it was fun watching them agonise over whether they hated women or brown people the most.

    It gets even better

    In the footage, the PM told two schoolboys: “I’m a Coke addict. A total Coke addict.”

    After a brief pause, he clarifies: “Coca-Cola addict. Just for the record. Just to be totally clear. I am a Coca-Cola addict. I have seven fillings to show for it.”

    I heard from Jon Richardson while he was in a bathtub that Rishi Sunack made his money by causing a global financial crisis.

    And honestly I’d prefer to receive all my dystopian news that way now.
