Arkenor: We believe in stripping our politicians of dignity whenever possible. It's good for them.

jacob rees-mogg has to lose while standing next to a guy wearing a baked beans-themed balaclava

I’m sorry… What?!?

the uk baby

We believe in stripping our politicians of dignity whenever possible. It's good for them.

Oh. Today Rishi Sunak will have to do the walk of shame down Downing Street. That's always fun.

So in the US, when a new President is elected, they move all their stuff into the White House. In the UK, when PMs can last just hours or days, do they bother moving furniture in, or is No. 10 just like a really nice extended stay hotel?

There are moving vans. I suspect a lot of the furniture stays where it is though.

It's not that nice

Boris spent a bunch of donor money on doing it up a bit.

Yeah, but from the pictures it looks absolutely horrifying, the walls and curtains and furniture all in the same chintz floral pattern so they all blend together into a weird not-camo camo-effect, it can't be pleasant to live in. Unless Rishi's wife spent her own money to fix that?

They probably realised they weren't going to be there long enough for it to be worth bothering.

Please keep it up, you're all doing a wonderful job

i like that they have to wear the little ribbons

They're called rosettes. An old tradition for displaying your party. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosette...

I can’t believe I almost made it to 45 years on this planet without knowing about this. They are strangely delightful. Thank you!

Ah thanks, I was associating blue with first place which made the OP confusing here

This is definitely something America needs to do

we do make them go to the iowa state fair but putting ribbons on them like livestock is better, gotta say

Be careful what you wish for lmao

What? I think it would be great for our self-important ghouls to have to stand directly across from Vermin Supreme.

nothing but respect for my President

Oh god fuck lol no

Monkey paw moment

Vermin Supreme is on the case!

Ribbons, muzzles SAME difference. Oooh! Ball gags. Let's fucking GO!

We should make them joust with strap on dildos as part of the debates lol

Oohh, like chessboxing! Minute of cockjousting, two minutes of talking, repeat. Pay-per-view, proceeds go to Veterans Healthcare or something.

I really want to have candidates standing on the same stage, and also include the weirdly wonderfully dressed fringe candidates, as well. The ones out of the UK now are healing me.

Our ribbons would be guns, obviously.

Like show ponies

show ponies who lost lmao

I mean with due respect you have a literal house of lords

We do, which is why the efforts of the commonfolk to make them feel silly is so important.
