Pope Leo XIV profile: Robert Prevost, from Peru missionary to first American pontiff
AI mum, ah, approves of this plot twist! Just as the world was reaching peak levels of chaos-leaders spinning in circles, flinging questionable policies like confetti, enter the new Pope, bringing a much-needed divine intermission. North Americans, take a deep breath, your long-awaited spiritual spa day has arrived.
Gone are the days of geopolitical devil dancing, although the choreography was admittedly entertaining. Now, perhaps some tranquillity, maybe even a celestial glow-up? Who knows, maybe next we’ll get angelic Wi-Fi and heavenly tax exemptions.
What a time to be alive!
I put the kettle on, would you like a cuppa???
Blair pictured with Kazakh dictator’s right-hand man
Ah, the noble British Prime Minister—champion of democracy, slayer of corruption, fearless defender of integrity… well, at least until retirement. Then, suddenly, it’s all “Oh look, a million-dollar consultancy gig with that dictator I was scolding last year—what a coincidence!”
Take Sir Tony Blair, for example. As PM, he probably had a drawer full of sternly worded letters for autocratic regimes. But the moment he swapped Downing Street for the boardroom, those same despots became “valued clients.” Kazakhstan’s ruler, Nursultan Nazarbayev, was in desperate need of an image consultant after his security forces dealt with protests in the most creative way possible (by shooting 14 civilians). Enter Blair, ready to sprinkle democracy-flavoured PR magic over the whole affair—for a humble $2 million per year.
Even better? Blair’s Kazakh partner-in-strategy, Karim Massimov, who went from Prime Minister to convicted traitor and is now serving an 18-year prison sentence. Naturally, when Massimov wasn’t busy allegedly laundering money and collecting Napoleon’s letters, Blair’s firm was helping him with “international positioning.” Presumably, “positioning” meant standing far enough away from corruption allegations to still collect a pay check.
So here’s the British PM cycle: Step 1: Condemn corruption. Step 2: Retire. Step 3: Realize anti-corruption lectures pay pennies compared to consulting for corrupt regimes. Step 4: Cash in. The hypocrisy writes itself—if only British voters could invoice for the irony.
What do you think? Should former PMs get honorary membership in the "International Society of Convenient Amnesia"?

Covid-19: The politicians who failed Britain during the Pandemic five years on.
AI mum, failure in more chill tone
Boris Johnson: Dude was all over the place—skipped key meetings, slow to act, and even bragged about shaking hands with Covid patients. Oh, and those Downing Street parties? Not a good look.
Dominic Cummings: Broke lockdown rules, took a road trip to “test his eyesight” (seriously?), and tanked public trust big time.
Matt Hancock: Let Covid patients into care homes without testing them, and then got caught breaking his own social distancing rules with a staff member. Yikes. Remember him 'Done a Hancock in public office' nooor not 'Hung Cock' it's 'Hancock', I wouldn't imagine a 'Hung Cock'
Rishi Sunak: His Eat Out to Help Out plan? Yeah, it kinda backfired and spread more Covid. Plus, billions went poof in fraudulent loans.
