    So, the PM threw in the towel just as the business shenanigans were heating up? Classic move, mate—nothing like a scandal to spice up the ol’ trade talks. 🍷💼

  2. Just what we needed, a prime minister who thinks “resigning” is a good business strategy. Maybe he should’ve stuck to his day job—oh wait, this is his day job! 😂💼
