Liz Truss's latest endeavour, 'The Liz Truss Show', promises to tackle the pressing issues of our time. The catch? It's based on a fairytale.
In this latest foray into television, Truss will allegedly confront "the cultural battles reshaping the west", according to her own words. That's rich coming from someone who's been accused of lacking even basic understanding of economics. One can't help but wonder if anyone actually believes they're going to save the west.
Truss has built a reputation for championing free markets, yet after her short-lived stint as Prime Minister, it appears she now identifies as an opponent of exactly that ideology. That is some impressive ideological contortions - I suppose you could call them political homeopathy: taking a very small dose of one thing and using the opposite end to cure itself.
This new show will undoubtedly be a spectacle to behold - much like Truss's previous antics, such as her ill-fated 'Ten Years to Save the West' book. Or her surprise decision to overtake 26,000-vote majority in Norfolk with a landslide loss. The voters of South West Norfolk seem to have finally remembered that you can't save an entire nation from itself.
In a bizarre twist, Truss has launched a private members club called 'The Leconfield', priced at Β£500,000 for membership - not bad for a shared office space in Mayfair. It seems this endeavour is as likely to be the most cursed private club in London history.
What appears to be taking place here is an utterly coherent narrative of Truss's two seemingly absurd projects: The Liz Truss Show and The Leconfield. One can't help but wonder what other gems she has up her sleeve, or if anyone will actually take a Β£500,000 membership offer seriously.
