Sad to say, Ms Truss does not occupy that lofty intellectual plain. Nor can she call on the bluster and faux bonhomie of soon to be formerly alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. But she has no problem continuing one Bozo speciality - talking well, but lying badly.
Her problems began with childhood recollection: she slagged off her secondary school. But Roundhay School in north Leeds is well-regarded, and a recent Ofsted report rated it as “Outstanding”. Also, it cannot have been such a terrible school, else how would she have gone from there to Oxford?
But a PPE from Oxford did not mean Ms Truss was capable of thinking things through: perhaps it did not occur to her that what she said to an audience comprised of the Tory faithful might also be relayed to a wider audience. She made this discovery after her comment on another Scottish independence referendum - that First Minister Nicola Sturgeon should be “ignored”.
Maybe the Tories don’t want to hang on to their last Parliamentary representation north of the border. The maybe became more definite when the Member for Times Long Past Jacob Rees Mogg sneered snootily that Ms Sturgeon was “often wrong and always moaning”. How long into a Truss premiership before Scotland declares UDI? A year? Six months, maybe?
Could she out-stupid even that? Like not just alienate most Scots, but a significant proportion of voters outside the south-east? She certainly could, and did it no style at all as those voters were duly informed that a Truss Government would cut public sector pay for those not working in the London area. It would save as much as £11 billion a year. But once again, she had failed to think through an idea from the so-called Taxpayers’ Alliance, that Astroturf lobby group supported by less than 0.1% of all taxpayers.

E molto pericoloso. Molto pericoloso
As sketchwriter Tom Peck reminded her, “Someone should maybe tell the spokesperson for [Liz Truss] that this contest is only happening because the last guy just kept on lying, and his spokesperson had to apologise for deliberately lying for months”. Continuity Bozo had struck again.
Could it get even worse? Don’t ask. Maybe the TPA was behind the next gaffe: it was, after all, yet another attack on the BBC. “What I’m very concerned about on the TV licence fee is how many women have ended up in prison for non-payment, a disproportionate number”. But that number was not disproportionate in the manner she suggested: it was Zero.
By this point, many objective onlookers had seen enough, and LBC host James O’Brien was one of them. “Stupid populist policy announcement from Truss, followed by screeching u-turn followed by egregious lies. What a grimly familiar cycle. Boris Johnson’s corruption of British politics will not be fixed by his removal from Downing Street”. So how is she the favourite?
Former Sun editor David Yelland had the depressingly familiar explanation: “Few understand this, but the air cover Tories get from Mail, Sun, Telegraph, Express acts as a multiplier of lies - and a giant comfort blanket - but [Ed Davey[, [Keir Starmer] and [Nicola Sturgeon] face a battalion of bollocks daily. The gap is immense”. That’s why we have a less than adequate Government.
Power without responsibility: the patriots who made the UK a laughing stock.

If her premiership lasts that long. I can see her outbozoing Bozo.
Truss?
Pffftttt......It's impossible to believe anything from a woman whose false grin includes a receding chin, exposure of erratic top teeth and concealment of bottom teeth. That's apart from the vacuum between her ears.
Not that the bulging eyes crackpot stare of Sunak is any better.
Or, for that matter, the obviously dishonest face of the Starmer Quisling.
Weep for Britain, a nation adrift in a sea of far right political liars, thieves and hypocrites.
The truth is it doesn't matter much which of this gang of conscience-free opportunist spivs occupies Downing Street. The differences are miniscule.
Which is why the country is going to hell in a supermarket trolley filled with unpaid utilities bills.
Elsenet someone has proposed a 25-year moratorium on Oxbridge PPE graduates being allowed into Parliament. This Unit hereby endorses this product, service or sentiment.
A sizeable number of Tory members think that Bozza should never have gone.
In other words, they're quite happy with lying, cheating, corruption and misuse of public money.
Says it all really......................
Spaffer Johnson attends KGB agent's party days after NATO meeting about Salibury poisonings. He then gives the son of the KGB agent a peerage against the advice of MI5.
Tumbleweeds roll past. Nothing to see here.
Ed Milliband eats a sandwich the "wrong" way.
OMG HE IS A DISGRACE!
Angela Rayner has legs.
OMG SHE IS A SLUT TEMPTRESS!
Mr Larrington (13:15), I wholly agree.
Along with former newspaper columnists.
Sadly for the UK, Truss IS stupid.
Who can forget the international hilarity when Lavrov asked Truss if she recognised Russian sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh - two regions in the south of the country not ever in dispute with anyone. And Truss said, "No". Needless to say faceless FO suits later said she "misheard"........yeah, right, as she did over "regional pay".
The woman is just the latest dimwit reactionary spivette visited on the UK.
But you ain't seen nothin' yet. Just wait until the far right clown shoe arsehead gets into the halter ordered by her paymasters. Nobody will be laughing then, not when the thieving, lying and hypocrisy restarts.
@11:34 – it could be worse. One of my Sinister Agents claims that Braverman's nickname for Truss is “The Professor”.
And then there’s Mad Nad, whose list of gaffes, howlers and nonsensical utterances would probably exceed the character limit for a single comment.
If it is her, PMQs should be an even more vacuous comedy charade.
A Truss sponge cake versus a Starmer cupcake. And just as irrelevant to our 14 million in poverty.
