Jonathan Pie: Welcome to Britain. Everything is Terrible. , NYT Opinion

So Liz Truss will be Britains next prime minister the nations fourth in seven years. And shes inheriting a nation falling apart at the seams. Ms. Trusss victory on Monday followed a long summer of overlapping and escalating crises in the country: Inflation soared to doubledigit figures and continues to rise; nationwide strikes have crippled the train networks, the postal service and trash collections; a heat wave brought the first drought in 20 years; and Brexit and the pandemic conspired to ruin many families first overseas vacations in three years. We turned once again to the fictional broadcast journalist Jonathan Pie, performed by Tom Walker. In the satirical Opinion video above, he takes viewers on a tour of a broken Britain and argues that Ms. Truss is not well equipped to fix it. The video contains some strong language and adult humor you dont normally see in The Times, but we think Mr. Pie is the perfect conduit for the frustration and desperation of millions of Britons.
