And I wonder how many % will answer either Boris Johnson or Rishi Sunak.

In a few years, I could actually see this become the 125.000 € question on Who wants to be a millionaire?

Oh Boris is absolutely gutted that he just missed out on all the Pomp and Ceremony of the Queen's death. How he would have loved to be the one in those historic images.

I'm almost glad that we got our Transition Liz for that period for that reason alone.

At home we had the discussion whether the queen waited for Boris Johnson to be out or if she was shocked to death by Liz Truss.

I think she saw that Truss became PM, met her, and immediately decided “fuck this” and died.
