I believe she wouldn't have a certain former minister back in her cabinet because, in her word, he was "shit."

I haven't seen anyone say out plain that the party membership rejected Sunak for Truss, as they would have rejected him for Boris, because he's a Person of Alternative Kultural Import. Things could get ugly in that respect.

I think they'd be the very people to dismiss her as damaged goods. More likely to be the Simon Dee of 21st century politics, albeit with a better pension.

What TV Tropes calls the "We Can Rule Together" trope.

What about Roger Taylor? He wouldn't be a pretty sight dressed as a schoolgirl these days.

Despite being the muse to the greatest musicians of her generation, Pattie has since admitted she hasn't seen a penny in royalties from her former husbands Eric Clapton and George Harrison's hits about her. Er, you don't get royalties for having a song written about you. Although it would be funny to see Warren Beatty getting them for "You're So Vain."

Steve (Clem) Grogan was judged mentally subnormal. He also cooperated with the authorities in finding where Shorty Shea was buried.

Kwarteng is out. It occurs to me that throwing your closest ally under the bus eight weeks into the job isn't going to do much for the rest of your team's loyalty.

Remember John Major resigning on the No 10 lawn? Could be a similar move.

On the other hand, by then they might have discovered the secret of immortality, or at least how to greatly extend the human lifespan. Would there still be death pools in a world where the average person lived to be 250?

I'd like to hear a version of Chopin's Funeral March done in the style of Sandy Nelson.

I have to say I've never thought Jeannette Charles looked like the Queen. In that b&w picture she looks more like Lee Montague in drag.

One for Adriano Celentano fans: Theme song from Mario Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much.

That is becoming scandalous.

It is oddly interesting: some people you'd forgotten about, some you didn't know were dead, some who seem to contain a whole era in their picture.

Isn't "Rap Artist Dies, Not Murdered By Fellow Rapper" a headline in itself?

Jodorowsky has now outlived two of his four sons.

Shit, I was right!

Formerly Jimmy Savile's intro music.

DEAD.

If she has died already, the family might still want to have some time in quiet with her. Things are going to go insane when the announcement's made.

It's crossed my mind today that when Liz Truss' political obituaries are written, her conduct in the aftermath of the Queen's death might be seen as a turning point - as in "She never recovered from..."

Isn't it possible that Meghan's heard how the Queen is and has insisted on going up there?

Jean-Luc Godard.

Possibly George VII's, the idea of him using that name as king was floated some years ago. There is precedent - George VI was known as Prince Albert before.
