Pretty much the first thing I came across on my Facebook after quite a long day out and about just now was this Huffington post report. Liz Truss is apparently now saying that the UK needs its own version of Donald Trump. “The former prime minister said she wanted to see a UK version of the president-elect’s Make America Great Again movement.” I’m sorry, but that really does defy belief: she was pretty much the shortest lived and most abjectly ruinous Prime Minister in British history, yet she seems to think that she still has the gravitas and authority to make such judgements. It’s as if she sees herself as some kind of great leader worthy of respect, rather than the epic mistake which history will record her to be. To make matters worse, any thinking person can see what an utter disaster Trump will be, not just for America but for the entire world. For Truss or anyone to say he is some sort of goal worth aspiring to is patently ridiculous, and just makes her look even more unhinged.

I just wanted to flag this up because it struck me as so ludicrous.
