YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Following the resignation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss have advanced to a runoff to succeed Johnson as Conservative leader, which would also make them prime minister. Both candidates would be "utterly devastating" for the U.K., says Guardian columnist George Monbiot. "What these people have to do to become prime minister is really to appeal to the worst instincts of humanity."
