"A world on the brink. Regime change in Venezuela. Greenland under threat from Donald Trump. Shadow fleet tanker seized by the US and the Brits in the North Atlantic. The Europeans battling to keep America onside in any Ukraine peace deal. A woman gunned down by ICE agents in Minneapolis. So thank God that some things never change. Be grateful we still have Liz Truss. The UK's lone fixed point."
"Our very own guilty secret. The prime minister we all try our best to forget we ever had if only Liz would let us. But Truss is like that Japanese soldier who only realised the second world war was over in 1974. For Liz, global events mean nothing. She will keep fighting the Great Betrayal of 2022 for as long as she still has breath. It's all that gives her life meaning."
"Shortly before Christmas, Radon Liz decided to launch her own ultra-low-budget YouTube TV and podcast show. No expense incurred. Now it's possible there are some who have watched the eight subsequent shows Liz is a role model for masochists and crackpots but there is really no need for anyone else to bother. Unless, like me, you choose to drop in out of curiosity. To check that it's as laughably deranged as you remember."
Multiple global crises are listed, from regime change in Venezuela to tanker seizures and American influence in Ukraine, alongside domestic violence and immigration enforcement incidents. Liz Truss is presented as a solitary, persistent figure in UK politics who is obsessed with her 2022 removal and likened to a soldier unaware the war had ended. She launched an ultra-low-budget YouTube and podcast series that repeatedly portrays her as the best prime minister and a victim of Dark Forces. The shows draw fringe audiences and fail to secure major international or former-Tory guests, emphasizing grievance over substantive debate.
