4 PM’s in 4 short years, Kier how the fuck we get here?

July 13, 2026

“Kier, How the Fuck We Get Here?”

Steer clear of phony prophets pushing fear,
Seizing power, only growing their own pockets and careers.

‘Cause if not…
In a couple of years, we’ll look back again
And wonder, how the fuck we got here?

See, Boris gave us knowledge…

That politicians weren’t supposed to be honest.

Partygate sort of sealed our fate.
Downing Street, all the bruddas necking gin and tonic.

COVID deaths—we felt the pain,
While dudes were sipping Cabernet.

“Self-isolate,” they’d say,
While dancing all the wealth away…

Kier, how the fuck we get here?

So Liz Truss was sure to save us, right?

Damn…

She took the seat and made history.

The shortest-serving Prime Minister
Of any elected British MP.

In her 49-day reign, though,
She was sure to gain another victory…

Giving us new, creative ways
To tank our own economy.

She loved it.

The notorious mini-budget always does it, eh?

Cut the taxes…

But remember—do not fund it.

Why the fuck we let these people run shit?

Kier, how the fuck we get here?

Rishi was the next hope for our saving.

First POC PM…

Man, it felt like times were changing.

So what was the man’s main agenda?

Ah…

Use the space of power
To push hateful propaganda.

“Stop the boats!”

And send asylum seekers to Rwanda…

But the plan failed…

As any bad idea sure will.

Now Rishi and his missus
Are worth 800 mil.

To have this greed while people starve…

Shit, man…

That’s a skill.

Kier, how the fuck we get here?

We thought maybe Labour would save us from this insanity.

Because fourteen years of Tory rule
Had turned to straight calamity.

Starmer in Number 10…

Maybe we’d find some hope again.

Okay…

So the plan was clear.

Mr. Kier would stand still in fear
Of the orange man overseas,

While his best mate posts up abroad,
Taking flicks with Epstein.

Oh wait…

Can’t forget cutting the Winter Fuel Payments.

Ah…

And the saving grace…

Banning TikTok for pre-teens.

I’m at a loss for words, honestly.

If you’d told me this when COVID hit,
I’d have laughed at how absurd it all would sound.

But every time I grab my phone…

This shit gets so much worse.

Man…

We must be in a curse.

It’s been a cost-of-living crisis
Since September 1st, 2021.

So survival is the life now,

For a teacher or a nurse.

The doctors…

The social workers…

They’re the ones who feel the hurt.

Real people pay the price

For lessons never learnt.

Now the bottom fifty
Hold less than five percent

Of all the country’s worth.

It’s insane.

Really…

We’re just the pawns in this global game.

The next man will proclaim

He’ll save the day.

But in a couple of years,

If nothing’s changed,

We’ll just sit back…

And say…

Kier…

How the fuck we get here?
