The ‘documentary’ is a load of old bo**ocks. Liz Truss was not undone by The Blob. She was undone by her own stupidity, the fact she was completely out of her depth in matters of which she had no understanding/experience — and should never have been PM in the first place. We have the Tory faithful to thank for that. They inflicted her on the rest of us.
‘The 35-minute documentary is called ‘The Prime Minister vs The Blob’ and is intended to be a ‘timely warning about the dangers of power being exercised by unelected and unaccountable individuals and bodies.’’ ✍️ Steerpike spectator.co.uk/article/comi…
