Satirist still thinks Liz Truss is Prime Minister




Three PMs and ten lettuces too late, comedians have decided now is the time to lampoon the UK's least impressive idiot-in-chief. Pointing out that Liz Truss is a moron now, is a little like shouting beware of the iceberg to the crew of the Titanic. Not only has that ship sailed, but she already sunk the economy and exited stage left pursued by a bear market.





Even if you stumble upon that comedic sweet spot - a gag that is just old enough not to offend anyone but too old for James Corden to plagiarize it - you will just come across as smug. They say the secret of great comedy is timing, so waiting two years to deliver your punchline is Biden-esque.





Unfortunately, comedy, like a mouldy sock, does not age well. If your only pop culture reference is 'why are the Tories so bad?', you may have slept through the last election. They say, never kick a person when they are down, but it looks worse if they are already dead and buried. The name Liz Truss should not be mentioned unless it is in relation to a pub quiz question - what is a Liz Truss and why does no one remember her?
