After a shocking announcement out of the UK today, it seems the office at 10 Downing Street is set to install a revolving door.
Homophobic Tory politician Liz Truss has officially resigned from her role as Prime Minister of Britain after a rough economic plan sent the value of the pound on a steep decline. Her exit means the country is set to see its fifth prime minister since 2016. It also makes her the shortest-serving one in the UK history.
Though the office having the same turnover rate as an H&M sales associate position is a bit alarming, Gay Twitter™ is already ready to offer up replacements.
From drag queens to pop girls to Doctor Who, folks are chomping at the bit to get their faves in front of that lectern.
How about we take this to the next level?

🚨🚨 BREAKING: After some talks, King Charles III has appointed Ncuti Gatwa as the new Prime Minister as well.

However, the most popular replacement is the national vegetable treasure who outlasted Truss: a head of Tesco’s iceberg lettuce in a messy blond wig.
A hot new bombshell entered the villa last week when The Daily Star set up a livestream to see if this wilting greenery’s 10-day shelf life could win out against the Prime Minister. And by God, the crazy little salad starlet did it!
She’s got our vote:

Oh please: this is not a time for flailing, attention-starved fools! Has the UK learned nothing from the travails the US suffered when we elected a reality-tv personality to the presidency?
Yes I get it, so clever to want Dua Lipa as the next prime minister, har har etc. Time to get serious before your country collapses on your heads and you’re relegated to spending the rest of your short life selling matchsticks to passing soldiers.

Elton John officially became the Queen Of England last month so he’s taken. How about Hyacinth Bucket? She’s already got that fabulous collection of Royal Dalton China with hand painted Periwinkles.

abfab, the famous Bucket, er, Boo-kay, Lady is 93 and still kicking, so maybe she might be up for the job. Certainly she’d be better than the right-wing Conservative Party hack Liz Truss, who was ushered in by Queen Elizabeth II and ushered right out by King Charles III! And just think, they’ve got till 2024 to keep screwing up unless the government falls completely!

What is Hyacinth’s gay son Sheridan up to nowadays? If he’s a Tory like his parents, he might be worth a look. Except he’s always been invisible!
abfab
Sheriden must be crocheting his mum a tea cozy or designing new curtains for his English Basement flat that he keeps with his ”special friend”.

Kangol2,
Patricia Routledge is WONDERFUL! She has a series of solo acts which are must see in case you haven’t. She talks into the camera and tells stories. A lost art. And if you love TO SIR WITH LOVE as much as I do, you will notice her on the double decker bus commuting to her job at the high school.
A very, very young Hyacinth Boo-KAY.
And yes, a much better option than that frumpy ole Truss woman.
TAZnTampa
You must be a lot of fun at Parties
