Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-9-2022 — Idris Elba.

6th September, 2022.

Yes: we now have Liz Truss as Prime Minister.

And, frankly?

I’m not sure I’m keen on her.

Even though he never made it permanent, at least Rishi Sunak introduced the £20 uplift.

So … ?

I’m not convinced she’s going to benefit me: or the UK.

The next election’s due in 2024.

It can’t come a moment too soon.

Including a short … and this … 

Feel free to like and share!
