After a day of being mostly absent without leave, Liz Truss crept out from under the desk to grant an interview to the BBC’s political editor, Chris Mason.
The two big takeaways were her apology – of sorts – and her insistence that she will lead the Tories at the next election.
"I will lead the Conservatives into the next general election"

When you’ve heard one Liz Truss interview, you’ve basically heard them all.
“Blah, blah, blah GLOBAL ECONOMY, blah, blah, blah DELIVERING, blah, blah, blah, GROWTH, blah, blah, blah ENERGY PRICE CAP, blah, blah, blah PUTIN.”
If she thought the interview would pour oil, rather than tomato soup, on troubled waters, she was catastrophically mistaken.

We’ve just celebrated the consecutive birthdays of P. G. Wodehouse and Oscar Wilde, two of the funniest writers in the history of our language. But neither of them could have come up with anything funnier than this headline. I mean, bless or what? https://t.co/58ZiTn1T9K

Disastrous as Truss’ silence in Parliament today was, her interview with Chris Mason is a reminder that she is even worse when she opens her mouth. Crikey.

Saying that you’ll lead your party into the next election just 6 weeks after becoming leader is pretty good evidence that you won’t.

Oooh, I do hope Truss really does lead the conservatives into the next election. That would be a laugh, and we could do with one of those. Ideally now.

This interview with Liz Truss by @ChrisMasonBBC is quite painful to watch. I can't quite understand why Liz Truss wants to remain as PM (then again I struggle to understand why anyone would put the self through it). I'm not certain after watching that she does.
