Liz Truss returns to blame her failures on the ‘deep state’

Liz Truss’s stint as prime minister was so short that she was famously outlasted by a lettuce:

Ever since then, she’s been telling anyone who’ll listen that she wasn’t a terrible PM, actually — it was just a weird coincidence that the economy crashed after her budget.

Now, having got as far as she can by simply tweeting, Truss is introducing The Liz Truss Show:

We don’t know how long the Liz Truss show will last, but we’ve got a lettuce at the ready.

Liz Truss me bro

We haven’t heard Liz Truss speak in a longtime, but we have read her tweets, which she writes in the voice of Darth Vader for some reason:

Hearing her talk again, you remember that she’s a certified goofy ass mother fucker. This is still the same woman who excitedly exclaimed “new pork markets!”:

The same woman who growled “that is a disgrace!” on the topic of imported cheese:

In the trailer for The Liz Truss Show, Liz Truss says:

In 2022, I was deposed from the office of Prime Minister of Great Britain.

We remember that, yeah — funny stuff.

If not for the sudden inflation which resulted from her disastrous time as PM, the sacking would have been even funnier than the ‘pork markets’ bit.

Truss continued:

I tried to save our country from the doom loop it is now in.

This is a bold thing to claim, given that the main doom which keeps looping around is the impact of austerity; something Truss voted for time and time again as a Tory MP.

Her disastrous budget didn’t help, of course, but by then the real damage to the economy was already done.

Truss added:

We set out a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.

Her plan was to borrow loads to give people tax cuts, and as we all know, tax cuts benefit rich people first and foremost.

This next bit is good:

I was blamed for a market crisis that was not my fault.

‘Wah, wah – not my fault!‘.

Don’t the right pretend to care about personal responsibility?

According to Truss:

The Deep State and their allies in the media and politics tried to destroy me because I challenged their decades-long failure.

‘The deep state’ — so she’s doing Yank politics now, is she? Wonderful — can never have enough of that nonsense.

It’s interesting that she’d say “their decades-failure” given that Truss was a key player in the Tory governments before hers, serving in several ministerial positions.

Truss finishes her ad by saying:

Now I’m back. I will expose the people who brought me down. I will take on the deep state. I will tell the truth about what is happening in our country and across the West.

Say what you will about Boris Johnson, but at least he had the good grace to just fuck off.
