This German TV report about the fracking vote Commons chaos is 13 seconds very well spent
Liz Truss’s resignation as PM on Thursday followed a night of unprecedented chaos in the House of Commons the night before.
There were reports of furious scenes in the chamber as Tory MPs were encouraged/bullied (delete as applicable) to vote with the government.
And this German TV report absolutely nails it. You’ll probably see more enlightening bulletins, and you’ll definitely see longer ones, but this is 13 seconds very well spent.

Side note: I love the way German news anchors/reporters look like they’re regular people dressed to run out to the store on Saturday versus the US, where they have identically-tinted crazy long hair, Chiclet-veneered teeth and botoxed faces.
