When I accept television interviews, I largely expect to be asked about the state of our stagnant economy, the crisis in our NHS, or perhaps the horrendous war in Ukraine. As I write, President Zelensky is beginning a very moving visit to the UK, and I’m sure we can all agree he has been a tower of resilience under extraordinarily difficult circumstances, and it will be an honour to be able to convey the constituency’s solidarity in person.

So, taking to my chair to talk to Sophie Ridge on Sky on Sunday, I did not expect to be talking about a possible return of Liz Truss of all people. And yet, with the publication of her first staggeringly un-self-aware interview since leaving Downing Street that morning, the worst Prime Minister in British history did seriously seem to be suggesting she had been unjustly done in, and potentially hoped to return for round two.

Unjustly done in, she argued, not by the Conservative colleagues who rightly sought to repair their enormous mistake before any further damage could be done and get rid, but by what she describes as some sort of leftwing economic conspiracy. I have heard some daft conspiracy theories in my time, but the idea that the FTSE, the pension funds, and the Bank of England are part of some kind of extremist plot against her is an extraordinarily self-aggrandising, post-fact perspective.

Truss was undone by markets reacting to a total absence of confidence in her mad plan to borrow huge amounts of money to cut taxes for the super rich. Regular businesses made sensible decisions in suspicion that this kamikaze approach might collapse the stagnant economy rather than kickstart it. Which transpired to be spot on, with home owners in places like Tameside paying the price in their mortgages.

The idea that the former PM would have anything much to say apart from “Sorry, Britain” is as curious as it is exasperating.

Liz Truss wasn’t brought down but anything other than her own failed economics, and British households continue to feel the pain.

Is Rishi Sunak doing any better? Marginally better than the most catastrophic premiership of all time perhaps, but it’s nowhere near good enough. Sunak is weak, often invisible, and obsessed with side projects like legislating to sack striking nurses and mucking about with Government departments.

It is clear he has no understanding of the state of the country, and no solutions. Between that and the threat of  both Truss and Johnson fancying a comeback, we simply cannot let a fifth term of Conservative Government happen.
