If you have the attention span of a sparrow with ADD, you’ll be enthralled by K.B. Cottrill’s six-page biography of British Prime Minister Liz Truss.

Lis Truss: she came, she spoke, and she left.

In The Story of Liz Truss: A Legend in Her Own Lunchtime, K.B. Cottrill does a masterful job of packing the former Prime Minister’s brief tenure in 10 Downing Street into six thrill-starved pages, including a forward by an unknown person with nothing to say.

The story begins with Liz Truss in her role as Minister for the Union, where she achieves little and builds a reputation for not having a reputation.

After a number of underwhelming years in office, she catches the attention of Conservative Party bigwigs who have an eye for talentless people. They decide to appoint her as Prime Minister, with a brief to rescue the UK from the chaos caused by her knucklehead predecessor Boris Johnson, who was also appointed by the clueless bigwigs.

Truss is suddenly plucked from Obscurity, which is so relieved to be rid of her that it pops a bottle of bubbly.

Truss wastes no time putting her meager political skills to work. She introduces policies that take a chainsaw to the UK’s world standing, fires the hapless stooge she hired to launch them, and promptly disowns the policies as if someone else had farted them.
