Liz Truss appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival earlier in the week. The occasion was a discussion about her recent life and times. The audience werent too impressed and some heckled and booed.
Yet at the Scotsman (3rd August) pointed out this is quite normal for a stand-up comic (although Truss was in fact sitting down). When asked to apologise for her 49 day Premiership she described the comment as inane.
She did however venture that her policies of higher mortgage costs for many and tax cuts for the rich would have led to a better Tory Election result on July 4th than Rishi Sunak managed.
Its not perhaps a laugh out loud line but the Scotsman suggests it could be contender in the annual competition to find the best joke of the Edinburgh Fringe
