Seeking right tone, new British PM Truss had to quickly change gear for queen

"Back in '97, the prime minister of the day had to step in really to help and guide the monarch,"

Loll

An intellectually defective moron that has had more positions than one of Caligula's orgies? I agree she's the perfect fall guy for the posh boy party as they prepare for electoral diarrhea at the urn.
