Grim Lizzy

If Liz Truss is feeling a bit down tonight, there is a consolation. Gazza only lasted 39 days.

True he didn’t manage to tank the entire UK economy in that time, but his bar bills did threaten to put 40p on the base rate of admission prices.

And at no point in her brief premiership did Liz simulate a drunken dentist’s chair celebration. Though in terms of decision making, it might have helped.

Anyway the good news for Liz is that Gazza is on his way, with some cans, chicken and a fishing rod.
