Make up for lost time and send her on a rocket into the sun.

surprisingly hard thing to do ,

it turns out, aiming for the Sun without the rocket ultimately orbiting it is not easy at all

Maybe they meant fire her at The Sun (1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF).

We choose these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

The shooting Liz Truss to the sun initiative may be the only way for her to make a contribution to science.

We may need to call upon the lettuce once more

We know, and yet that is the choice regardless.

It suggests an as yet unseen level of dedication to ridding the universe of such a deeply offensive, absolute fucking cretin.

As a wonderful side project, we can see just how many despicable bodies we can physically cram into probably a SpaceX capsule, like a Tokyo subway train carriage. Musk, Trump, Vance, Putin, Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Farage, and Milei can start the proceedings. I'm sure we can collectively suggest more.

As long as we get close, we don't have to get the Roche limit. The air will get heated to oven temps regardless
