Let's not beat around the bush here, this week in politics has potentially been an absolute all-timer and so is this week's JOE Politics Quiz.
Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer already seems to be on the beach as he winds down his premiership, getting ready to make way for King of the North Andy Burnham as he's started hinting at a bank holiday for England winning the World Cup.
Indeed, Keir Starmer might just end up being at his most popular in potentially the same week Andy Burnham steps into Number 10.
That's because Andy Burnham could be in power within just a matter of weeks after nobody challenged him in the Labour Leadership contest.
Meanwhile, despite the important stuff about, you know, running the country and all that, attention has firmly shifted to the antics of Nigel Farage.
If you missed Nigel Farage's resignation as MP for Clacton this week, you must be living under a rock - or a bin for that matter.
Yep, that's right, headlines this week have been dominated by a bloke with a bin on his head, and we're all here for it.
You can also read more about the Clacton drama here.
Count Binface might be the new darling of the UK, but don't let that distract you as more than just the rise of the intergalactic Recyclon has been in the news this week.
So, without further waffling, let's get quizzing.
