Liz Truss – she may be more dangerous than you think. The current holder of the ignominious record - likely never to be beaten - as shortest serving UK Prime Minister ever, her tenure put in a race, no less, with a lettuce to see who would wilt first. The lettuce won.
That is not to say she and her bull-in-a-china shop Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng - second shortest serving Chancellor - didn’t leave their mark, having bypassed all of the traditional checks and balances on monetary policy the hapless duo spooked the markets, tanked the economy and blew up the housing market. Quite the effort.
You see, at 3pm today Liz Truss will appear on the Lotus Eaters platform. This channel was set up by Carl Benjamin, a far-right activist. He triggered a police investigation when he said that if pressured to rape Jess Phillips, the now Labour Candidate for Birmingham Yardley, he might well do so. His is the worst, most abusive, vile hatred for women. When he spewed this bile, upon finding out, Jess Phillips - understandably - broke down in tears in the street.
