Perhaps we should leaf it out.

But it could just be the tip of the iceberg ………

I wonder why Truss hasn’t signed on with Farage’s mob yet ?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Insert Captain Smith joke here...

[Watchman]

Will she be cos-playing Laura Loomer? Perhaps, that's just the tip of the iceberg...

Oh, you little gem!

Pretend shadow chancellor gives her statement. Liz has read one of the books on the shelf, which is it?

She's got the "Demon Eyes" Tony Blair attack poster on the shelf. Another failed Tory campaign.

[Andy McDandy]

Marina's on it.

You’ll remember that the irony of Truss’s flameout at the hands of market forces was particularly acute given that she had spent an entire career explaining that free markets were the greatest judge of absolutely everything. Small ideological adjustment: free markets are now the greatest judge of everything except the ideas and personage of Liz Truss.

Liz says her new show, also available on other platforms such as Spotify, X and Substack, is for people who are “tired of experts who get everything wrong, elites who refuse to listen, and weak leaders”. Amazing. Liz famously ticked each of those three boxes, yet somehow regards herself as the antidote. It’s a sort of political homeopathy, I guess, where a very small amount of the thing is also the cure for the thing.

Speaking of giving money to Liz, we must move on, because – amazingly – this new media venture is not even my favourite Truss announcement of the past fortnight. That honour has to go to the unveiling of a new private London club, spearheaded by Liz, who wants members to give her – are you ready for this? – £500,000 each to join.

Vintage Hyde snark, and I'm left wondering at Truss's sheer chutzpah.

I hope to enjoy dipping into Truss on TV for its car crash value but fear it will be as stultifyingly dull as GBeebies

In a trailer released on her social media account, she said: “The deep state tried to destroy me because I challenged their decades-long failure.”

The first three guests on the show will be Matt Goodwin, an academic and GB News presenter, Alex Phillips, a former Brexit Party MP and TalkTV host, and Peter McCormack, a podcaster.

Produced with an American media network, episodes will be released weekly on YouTube, Spotify, Rumble and other platforms from this Friday.

Terry Jermy, the Labour MP who defeated Ms Truss in South West Norfolk at the last election, said: “I trust her new venture will be more successful than her time as prime minister. It will surely last longer.”

On that last note, does anyone have a lettuce?

I've been concerned by the growth of dark money in politics for a long time.

A crypto "expat" bunging 9 million to Farage is extremely concerning.
To quote the hotel protestors "We don't know where that's from".

But this is a Liz Truss thread, so let's do a little throught experiment.
* What sort of rational business or bank would front up the finance for these latest Liz vehicles?
* If we're satisfied this isn't sensible rational money, then:
* Who is working the purse strings?
* Why don't we see their names on the posters?
* What are hey looking to achieve?


I'll close with my own answer - applicable to Truss, Farage, Yaxley Lennon and the Flag criminals.
* Enemies.
* People with an interest in chaos and division across Britain.
* Those who want weakened institutions and a distracted public.
* All to ease another round of looting the country.

You're not the only one concerned by this, Bones. Look how shady the whole Tufton Street mob are.

At least with Labour and the Unions, you can see exactly where the funding is coming from - the political levy applied to subs. Some unions - such as BECTU's parent Prospect - are strictly non-political though.

[Youngian]

Truss's funds are likely to come from Robert Shillman, a far right US billionaire cunt who bankrolls Tommeh and the flag shaggers.

Except that article cites someone called Shillman, although Robert Mercer's rôle in alternative media is mentioned here:

Honestly, if the lights went out on the Internet tomorrow I doubt I'd mourn its passing (apart from here, natch).

[Youngian]

My mistake, now corrected.

[davidjay]

I'm reminded of what I think I mentioned on here before and was told by a friend who moved in such circles. Brokers have always preferred a Labour government because market volatility is how they make money. Times have changed and uncertainty is what they need.

The Guardian's review is in.

Red meat for the MAGA crowd. Concerning for everyone else.
