Thank God we took back control

And it not just on the domestic stage either. As Ailbhe Rea writes so eloquently in the New Statesman morning call today:

The priority at today's call will be to coordinate the humanitarian and refugee resettlement response to the crisis, where the Prime Minister will, again, hope to assume a leadership role. But that is where his past foreign policy decisions will come back to bite him. The aid that the UK has promised to Afghanistan in recent weeks is still lower than the 2019 level, weakening Johnson's scope to secure ambitious aid commitments from allies. Depending on how the G7 call goes today, it could well be that the collapse of Afghanistan comes to exemplify the weakened and confused place of "Global Britain" on the world stage - drifting from the US, and oscillating between leadership and retreat on global issues.
Emphasis mine

Fun times continue unabated 👀

1. Word has it

Johnson wants to ask Biden to extend the pull out in Afghanistan because he didn't get everybody out. Everyone was given about a year and a half to make plans, it's well known now that the Trump administration tried to sabotage the exit of Afghans that were on our side because of their bigotry, unfortunately Johnson only has the excuse of incompetence. It's well known that Biden is wanted out since at least 2014 so good luck with that extension

5. I wonder what they're doing in the U.S.

Plus, it seems weird that a random musical artist could solve the problem. Does she own a milkshake company?

8. I can't be the only person on here who's heard this song!

There's a milkshake bar in a neighbouring village to me and I can't walk past the place without thinking of this song.
