Truss Unveils New Show: Because 49 Days in Office Wasn’t Enough Unhinged Content

Just over three years since her 49-day premiership imploded, Liz Truss has decided the public still needs her urgent truth — broadcast in her brand-new show, “The Liz Truss Show”. Deemed the “home of the counter-revolution,” the programme promises to tackle cultural decline, media groupthink and establishment betrayal, while positioning Truss as the lone warrior against Western collapse. 

In her own words: “the deep state tried to destroy me but now I’m back.” Critics are already queuing up popcorn. For many, the show is less “bold new programme” and more spectacle — a desperate grasp at relevance. A Guardian review summed up the first episode as “hapless ravings from a cupboard”, replete with conspiracy-tinged monologues and theatrical indignation. 

Whether Truss aims to launch a genuine political movement or simply chase clicks and cash, this feels like the kind of comeback tour you watch with dread and morbid curiosity in equal measure.

Britain’s shortest-serving former prime minister has re-emerged with what she calls The Liz Truss Show — a weekly rant against the “deep state,” mainstream media and basically anything that once stood for stability. It’s part grand comeback, part misplaced messiah complex, and entirely self-serving.

Time to Extinguish Elon Musk’s Bonfire of Nonsense

Since Elon Musk took control of Twitter and rebranded it as “X”, the platform has spiralled into chaos — a space where conspiracies, hate speech, and self-promotion drown out genuine communication. Government departments in the UK still use X to issue statements and safety alerts, even as the site throttles links, rewards impersonators, and amplifies far-right narratives. Other institutions such as Barcelona’s city council, NPR, and North Wales Police have already left, proving there’s life beyond Musk’s digital empire. The longer Britain stays, the more it props up a platform hostile to truth, stability, and democracy itself.

Elon Musk’s X has devolved into a disinformation engine and megaphone for extremists. The UK government should stop lending it credibility and walk away before its authority sinks with the platform.

The Protest Party: Can Labour Burst Farage’s Bubble?

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has surged in the polls, overtaking both Labour and the Conservatives and claiming victories in council chambers and by-elections once thought unassailable. For Labour, the surge is a warning shot — but not a death sentence. Reform’s support rests on protest anger, defecting Tories, and disillusioned voters who still want real solutions, not populist slogans. With visible delivery on the NHS, cost of living, and security, Labour can expose Reform’s weakness, reclaim moral leadership, and rally its base. The coming year will decide whether Britain’s future is shaped by Farage’s grievance politics — or Labour’s promise of competence and fairness.

Reform UK’s rise has shaken Britain’s politics, but its fragile base gives Labour a clear chance to hit back — if Starmer seizes the moment.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK: Swan Songs, Fantasy Economics and Twerking for Trump

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has built its identity on provocation: wild claims about migrants eating swans, fantasy economics dressed as “common sense,” and tax plans that essentially funnel wealth to the rich. While mocking climate policy as “lunacy” and declaring war on teaching unions, Farage spends much of his energy flattering Donald Trump, reducing Britain’s sovereignty to a sideshow act in an American circus. For all the contradictions, Reform’s rise continues, fuelled by outrage and grievance politics.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK mixes slapstick absurdity with dangerous policies, from scrapping Indefinite Leave to Remain to parroting Donald Trump’s every whim.
