It was a few weeks ago that, in all seriousness, Truss declared that the reason her batshit Robin-Hood-In-Reverse 'Britannia Unchained' budget had failed was because of the 'left wing economic establishment'. I thought she should get an idea of what one would actually be like!

lyrics

We took Truss to a Coldplay gig
And made her wear a Brian May wig
And for an even bigger lark
We held that gig at Selhurst Park
As Kwarteng shaved his pubic hair
And ate it stir-fried for a dare
While £30 billion came and went -
Left Wing Economic Establishment!

We threw Farage off GB News
Gave vegan cyclists interviews
Then nationalised the Daily Mail
And stuck Lord Rothermere in jail
Then, casually, and just for fun
Installed Mark Thomas at the Sun
And made its motto: ‘Good Intent’ -
Left Wing Economic Establishment!

A funny rhyme. But I, like you,
Hope Truss’ vision does come true.
It won’t be men in pinstriped suits
But militants from the grass roots
Then she will pine for former days
As we in glorious landslide raise
The red flag over Parliament;
Left Wing Economic Establishment!
