#mortoregnum — Public Fediverse posts

I'm pleased by yesterday's developments in the Downing Street dramas.

#Starmer has bought some space to allow weeks or even months of the #mortoregnum. #Popcorn moments continue, which is of course the primary purpose of the #Westminster shitshow. 😈

Now #Starmer's inevitable demise cannot be attributed to #AnasSarwar. #SLAB's planned moment of relevance for #Sarwar played out as just a puff of smoke. London massively subsidises the branch office, and it will make Sarwar pay.

The politics of the #UK is dysfunction as entertainment. Brilliant scriptwriters keep the story skidding between plausibility, slapstick, and surrealism. #ComedyGold

But discussion has been hindered by the lack of a term for the terminal illness of most modern governments. Major and Brown had years of it; May months, Johnson weeks, and Truss days.

So I present the needed word: the #Mortoregnum.

A week ago, #Starmer's regime abruptly passed from severe illness to mortoregnum. #popcorn #ukpol
