Liz Truss said ‘left-wing comedians just aren’t funny’ and the fabulous Rosie Holt had the magnificent final word
You will no doubt already be familiar with Rosie Holt’s brilliant spoof Conservative MP who was so convincing we lost count of the number of people who thought it was the real thing.
Here she is, making her pitch to be Conservative Party leader back in the day (the more things change, the more they stay the same).

And we mention her because PM for 15 minutes Liz Truss has been stinking out the already fetid Tory party conference this week where she said left-wing comedians simply weren’t funny.
Liz Truss says “left wing comedians just aren’t funny” because “they’re not taking the mick out of the people who actually need their egos punctured.” pic.twitter.com/BzCWWBOG6J

Truss’s comments prompted no end of very funny and totally on-point responses …
This lack of self awareness is actually quite scary.

At the risk of stating the obvious, leftwing or rightwing, if you make a living as a comedian you are, by definition, funny.

I look forward to the day this egomaniac is out of public life. She has the self awareness of a brick wall.
