‘Politics For Dummies’ is the Liz Truss parody that reveals the hilarious secret to her success

In less than a week, Liz Truss will almost certainly be the prime minister.

As the centre of the Continuity Johnson and Cosplay Thatcher Venn diagram, she’s unlikely to change the pattern of governance that has made the past 12 years of Tory rule such an unmitigated success*.

*for millionaires

Actor and comedian Nerine Skinner has created this perfect insight into how Thatcher-Lite – or ‘Liv Struss’ has achieved such greatness.

I want children to grow up knowing the taste of every type of Great Bridgerton’s cheese. So much so, as prime misister, I will unleash a brand new GCSE in Cheese Studies.

Or you could call it a Cheese CSE.

The accuracy has us wondering whether Nerine writes Liz Truss’s speeches.

YouTube users were both impressed and appalled.

It’s a hilarious thing to watch but absolutely terrifying at the same time 🤔 this lady got it spot on 👏

BRILLIANT you have a great career ahead of you for 6 months till Liv Struss nukes us all out of existence whilst trying to order a cheese pizza.

Honestly, she won me over with her Love Island policy.

Nailed it…we won’t be laughing when reality hits and she is pm. God help us.

Freakishly spot on, even the weird demented smile Truss does. Do you not worry you might turn into her though?
Christopher Johnson

Nerine shared the sketch on Twitter, where the conclusion was – inevitably – much the same.

Brilliant …

But far too close for comfort.

You can keep track of Nerine’s latest comedy on YouTube and Twitter, or check in via her website.
