Deputy leader Dicky has been promoted, despite it feeling more like demotion after only six weeks since he was once undisputedly in charge. Ben Habib, the previous deputy leader who missed making it into the Commons and is now criticizing Farage, may not be thrilled about this change. Lee Anderson now takes on the role of party whip, ensuring all four members vote similarly. It's a position that could easily lead to dysfunctional politics in five years if they lose touch with one another.
This week's comedy drama stems from an unattended Popular Conservatism conference where Mark Littlewood – known more for his controversial views than economic expertise – led the call for rebuilding a Conservative party that aligns closely with his image, rather than focusing on bettering the economy. Meanwhile, Suella Braka made a guest appearance via video link, urging members to lean even further right despite their recent electoral setback.
Writers like Jacob Rees-Mogg and Diane Abbott have kept politics lively, with Rees-Mogg emphasizing ignoring MPs' wishes while Abbott appeared in a speech after the new speaker was elected, carefully avoiding any mention of her political conflicts with Keir Starmer.
Football has seen its fair share of drama too, as England men's team now carries on under a Labour government legacy by winning their first major tournament since 1966. Gareth Southgate appears to have planned this meticulously while keeping the political situation in mind, hoping it doesn't seem outdated before the upcoming election.
Meanwhile, Keir Starmer and his new family face a potential challenge from Jojo, Liz Truss's cat who has made quite the entrance into Downing Street, potentially creating an awkward atmosphere with Larry, the long-standing resident feline in residence at Number 10.
Those MPs not elected are left to grapple with their new reality and the loss of staff jobs – a sobering reminder that politics can be as unpredictable as it is thrilling.
