"We happy few. We unlucky few. In years to come when we are all still recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder, we will be able to say we were there. That we have seen things that cannot be unseen. The eight thousand of us who, through a mixture of curiosity and comedy, chose to watch Liz Truss commit a drive by on herself."
"The show started an hour late because Liz forgot to put her watch back in October. Still, this was an award winning YouTube TV show. Though not the awards anyone would want to collect. Back in January we were treated to the bizarre sight of Liz Truss live tweeting the presidential inauguration from her hotel room in Washington. It had dawned on her too late that you actually needed an invitation to the Capitol and she wasn't on anyone's guest list."
"In hindsight, we can perhaps see this as a trial run. For her new Liz Truss Show, she appeared to have turned her utility room into a makeshift studio. No expense incurred. Though she did have someone to do the filming this time. Albeit a 12-year-old intern doped up on ketamine. I've seen better editing on my dad's home movies from the 60s."
Liz Truss performed a late, poorly produced livestream-style appearance that came across as chaotic and amateurish. The event featured juvenile filming, shoddy editing, and self-referential montage moments that invited ridicule. Earlier incidents included live-tweeting a presidential inauguration from a hotel without being invited, illustrating lapses in planning and awareness. The show included tone-deaf references to interactions with the late queen and implied culpability for national misfortunes. The overall impression was of impaired judgement and lack of self-awareness, producing public humiliation and raising serious questions about political suitability and competence.
