For those of you who lose sleep at night because you handed power to a right wing orange turd, feel sorry for us in the UK. We've just handed power to 10 of them.

A glimpse of answer to that can be seen in this mini series from 1988.
A Very British Coup.

Or read the novel by Chris Mullin:

Seen it - thought provoking and a good watch.
But I was wondering what alternative the Tories had, other than striking a deal with DUP in order to achieve an overall majority.
What a mess.

Yes, it looks as if the 'special relationship' just got more special.
