Truss Wags the Finger

Although Her Majesty's most Britannic Government has largely abandoned the pretence of governing now that it can no longer serve the interests of the National Johnson, there are still occasional opportunities for a leadership candidate to do a bit of state-subsidised posturing. Hence the Minister for Wogs, Beads and Trinkets has suddenly remembered her nominal function as a diplomatic bag, and has summoned the Heathen Chinee ambassador to account for his nation's unionist attitude towards plucky little Formosa. The Minister has made noises in the past about holding the yellow peril to account for their racism towards the Uighurs, and has blathered that "freedom is a price worth paying" for not being dependent on the opium of Chinese fossil fuels, although it remains as yet unclear which of our few remaining liberties she considers a viable currency. In any case, the Heathen Chinee ambassador no doubt listened with Oriental politeness while the acolyte of Boris Johnson lectured him on protecting human rights, keeping international law and dialling down the rhetoric.
