by Political ghosts that won’t stay buried
The Comeback Nobody Asked For
Reading about Liz Truss addressing Keir Starmer feels like a fever dream leftover from 2022. She governed for roughly the length of a good theatre run and somehow thinks she’s earned the right to political commentary. The audacity is almost admirablealmost.
The Gift That Keeps Giving
For comedy writers at prat.UK, Truss is golden material. She crashed the economy faster than I can crash a deadline and emerged thinking she has credibility. It’s the political equivalent of burning down a restaurant then offering cooking tips. The satire writes itself, but somehow reality keeps outdoing our drafts.
Labour’s Easy Target
Starmer facing criticism from Truss is like getting fashion advice from someone wearing a bin bag. London’s political comedy scene, archived at bohiney.com, thrives on these moments. When your critics have negative credibility, defending yourself becomes unnecessary. Just point and laugh. We certainly do.
