British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday fired UK Conservative Party Chairman Nadhim Zahawi over revelations Zahawi had lied repeatedly about an investigation into his finances and paid a £4.8 million settlement over the tax fuckery with the British IRS last year, Sky News reports.

It’s almost like there’s some sort of contrast that can be drawn here between the willingness of the top Conservative leader in the British government to fire one of his top guys for dishonesty and corruption while the top conservative leader in the American government, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, does the exact opposite – and with not one of his top guys, but a backbencher former drag queen who lied about his mom dying in 9/11 and stole $3,000 meant to pay for veterinary surgery for a dog dying of cancer. A dog owned by a homeless, disabled veteran.

You could say that McCarthy acted exactly the opposite as Sunak, arguably promoting the backbencher by giving him committee assignments despite being under federal criminal investigation. It might even be said that, despite the differences being two completely different political systems and that the British Conservative Party is a shitshow that won’t ever be fixed simply by firing one guy, when the time came to act that Rishi Sunak did the right thing and showed at least some measure of integrity, and Kevin McCarthy did not when his time came.
