Liz Truss, the former British prime minister, continues to live in a strange half-life, split between reality and her own meta-world. She is mostly confined to a small attic space that doubles as the studio for her YouTube channel, 'The Liz Truss Show.' In her latest video, titled 'Labour's Secret Plan: Labour PANICKING as Reform surges in Makerfield By-Election,' she promises an exposé of what major media outlets have missed.
A Messiah Complex Undimmed
Truss maintains a vacuum-packed confidence in her own talent, despite being treated as a joke by the real world. She sees herself as a saviour waiting to rise, believing the problem is not that we had too much of her, but that we never got enough. Her 49 days as prime minister—actually 39, given the ten days of state mourning—crashed the economy, yet she seems to think it was a price worth paying for entertainment.
Enter June Slater, Psephologist Extraordinaire
For this episode, Truss enlisted June Slater, a former UKIP member, political blogger, and occasional GB News commentator. Slater claimed to have spent a day campaigning with Reform candidate Rob Kenyon in Makerfield, seeing voters 'throwing palm leaves at his feet.' She described Kenyon as a busy, quiet man, a thinker like her husband, who pulls out his phone when problems arise. This is the same man who refuses to apologise for offensive remarks to Carol Vorderman, thinks Russia had a point in invading Ukraine, and is unsure about his Brexit stance.
Labour's Secret Plan Revealed
The so-called secret plan turned out to be well-known: the by-election was called because Andy Burnham wants to return to Westminster to challenge Keir Starmer for prime minister. Truss and Slater seemed blissfully unaware of this common knowledge. Slater admitted she once considered voting Remain, but changed her mind when her husband said the EU was a communist state—conveniently forgetting Truss campaigned for Remain as a Tory minister.
Conspiracy Theories and The Blob
The conversation drifted to Covid and the importance of avoiding vaccination, with Slater claiming people see a picture of Starmer and think 'Chinese.' She lamented 'The Blob' infiltrating everywhere, hinting at a future in Montana with semi-automatic weapons. Truss agreed, seeing 'The Blob' in every corner of the British state, but reassured viewers that as long as she draws breath, there is hope. Never underestimate the power of the quarter-wit.
