It's never a dull moment with Liz Truss, who crashed the economy but will never admit it

Government debt at record levels. A deputy prime minister under investigation by the standards watchdog. Reform UK 15 points ahead in the polls. A summer in which hatred of migrants has become normalised. Politicians competing to appear more authoritarian.

But hey, things aren't all bad. At least we still have Liz Truss. The most abject prime minister. Liz of the 49 days. Radon Liz. Because she is both a gas and inert. Most people with her spectacular level of political failure would have wanted to crawl under a rock and never come back. But Liz has no self-awareness. No shame. She will turn up to the opening of a fridge.

And thankfully for the gaiety of the nation, there is no shortage of people willing to indulge her. Liz's latest outing into the real world came this week on the Master Investor podcast presented by Sky's Wilfred Frost. You can only imagine the laughter in the production office when it was suggested getting the prime minister who crashed the economy on the show.
