Opinion Today: Welcome to Britain. Everything is terrible.

With a new prime minister, the country is getting another dose of conservative government.

Yes, things are hard in many countries, but in Britain we’re experiencing what we Brits would politely describe as a veritable omni-shambles. Most grave among the current crises is a sudden rise in the average cost of home energy bills, which [soared by 54 percent](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRk-w0xP0TkaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMi8wMy9idXNpbmVzcy91ay1lbmVyZ3ktcHJpY2VzLWJpbGxzLXJpc2UuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIyMDkwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03MTI3MCZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMDU1ODYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmMXMYgYY4hxJaZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) in April. This, alongside rising food prices, has pushed inflation into double digits; a recession looms. That, in turn, has prompted workers across a range of sectors into strike action: To live in Britain this summer has meant navigating a slalom of shutdowns, from our rail network to our trash collection. For anyone hoping to get away from it all, mass flight cancellations, airport staff shortages and the continued fallout from Brexit all conspired to ruin thousands of vacations. And that was before temperatures in July broke all records, killing around a thousand people and creating conditions that ignited a string of wildfires. Astonishingly, in the midst of these disasters, Britain has had no leadership. After being ousted as prime minister in July, Boris Johnson spent his final months in office on two holidays and a self-indulgent victory tour, while his potential successors battled it out. On the day we were warned our energy bills [could rise further](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRk-w0xP0TcaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wOC8yNi9idXNpbmVzcy91ay1lbmVyZ3ktcHJpY2UtY2FwLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMjA5MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzEyNzAmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTA1NTg2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjFzGIGGOIcSWmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) to levels many of us cannot afford, [not a single government minister](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRk-w0xP4QiAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmh1ZmZpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvLnVrL2VudHJ5L21pbmlzdGVycy1ub3QtYXZhaWxhYmxlLWZvci1pbnRlcnZpZXctYXMtZW5lcmd5LWJpbGxzLXNldC10by1yaXNlLWJ5LTgwX3VrXzYzMDg3YWYyZTRiMDY1YmZjNGFkYTMwOD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIyMDkwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03MTI3MCZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMDU1ODYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmMXMYgYY4hxJaZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) appeared on the radio or television to reassure us.

She won the leadership contest by promising that only she can solve the veritable omni-shambles but — as Pie argues — her low-tax, small-government, big-business ideology is precisely what got us into this mess. Jonathan Pie’s acerbic style is not for everyone, and you should be aware that this video contains strong language and blue humor. We made this creative choice because his performance expresses the furious exasperation at 12 years of Conservative rule — with more still to come.
