Liz Truss won't stop picking at her 49 days as PM and honestly it's getting sad
Liz Truss still can't move past her 49 days as PM, The Traitors is running on fumes, and maybe politicians on a reality show is what we actually need
Look, most ex-prime ministers manage to quietly fade away. John Major went from punchline to elder statesman over two decades. Tony Blair built himself a think tank empire. Boris shrugs off his Mail column paycheques. Theresa May just vanished. They move on, right?
Not Truss. She's still there, rewinding the same tape about her 49 days in office like it was some great tragedy instead of, well, a historically brief disaster she kind of created herself. The woman can't seem to stop poking at it. Someone needs to stage an intervention before she turns that wound into her entire personality.
The Traitors, meanwhile, is officially exhausted. The celebrity version has run its course — the castle drama is stale, the backstabbing feels rehearsed, and frankly the whole thing's become background noise. Maybe what British television actually needs is a politicians edition. Imagine that. Real paranoia, actual grudges spanning decades, authentic backstabbing instead of the manufactured kind. You'd have MPs genuinely worried about their careers, not just their Instagram followers. That'd actually be worth watching.
The current crop of famous faces on the show are grating on people's nerves in ways the format hasn't managed before. It's not sharp anymore. It's just loud. The show needs something to shake it up or it'll keep circling the drain.
As for Kane? He's Spurs through and through, apparently. That's just the way it's going to be. Some things don't change, and we've made peace with it.
