    An unelected Prime Minister appointing an unelected Foreign Secretary, who is himself a disgraced former Prime Minister.

    Couldn’t make it up.

      Are Foreign Secretaries often elected? As far as I know the UK elects a party and not Prime Ministers.

      UK should have a reelection though considering how fucked up everything is.

      Edit: removed redundancy

        Well yes. They are usually elected members of parliament. They don’t have to be of course, as is apparent.
