The State Of The Nation (A New Star Prime Minister Has Arrived!) by Alfred N.Muggins (political and social commentator!)

22/9/22

    The new Prime Minister Liz Truss has purportedly done a plan for dealing with the Cost Of Living Crisis and Growing and Incentivising the British economy! Frankly it looked like a few scribbles in different coloured crayons on a facebook meme which he saw, (and shared!). Alfred immediately recognized, with great foresight, that the purple scribbles were probably the economic growth to come, as her enlightened marketization policies reached their fantastical fruition. The red crayon scribbles were particularly voluminous and Alfred quickly surmised that these must be the copious amounts of hot air included in the plans. (He recognized inventiveness, because he himself possessed a great deal of it too, although he wasn’t trying to run a country or economy, but merely to create and publish a number of novels, short and long, a few chronicles and a few books made up of short, and even if he said it himself, rather witty pieces of historical and social comment interspersed with a grounding in the realities of the times and of life in the Muggins household!)

    The precocious and bubbly new Prime Ministeress Liz seemed to be up for everything, Growth, Tax Cuts, Assisting the War against Putin’s fascism in Ukraine, encouraging green energy sources by allowing the Big Energy companies to run off with billions of profits for investing just such a purpose (we hope!!), obliging lazy part time workers and the semi retired to start work again, in order to meet the increased costs of energy and fuel (and even food!), giving the former a helping hand (back into full and overtime work) by potentially slashing their benefits even further, while paying out billions in government money, while playing the supreme balancing act by cutting taxes at the same time, meeting every head of state upon the planet, except outlaw Putin, and his sidekick the Dicktator of Belarus, of course! (Not a complete list, Alfred was sure. Please feel free to fill in the gaps for him!)

    She seemed to be off to a flying start! Go Liz Go! He for one had his fingers crossed, and hoped there would be no accidents and mistakes on the way. At least she was trying, and she was trying to blow the economic bubble up, rather than let it down with a quick crash into an almost immediate catastrophic recession, which would almost certainly be the case if she didn’t spend (and borrow!) lots of government (taxpayers’!) money!

(PS. Alfred is seriously considering including the vivacious new Prime Minister on his potential ideal 6 wives list (which he has previously outlined in his earlier writings) if only he could have six Queens to rule the country, as a Henry VIII style King. He was quite sure she would make a great Queen, in another life, even though she had plenty to deal with right now, in the here and now, as Prime Minister!)
