Liz Truss’s robotic denial she went to any Downing St parties is hilariously hypnotic
Over on Sky News foreign secretary – ha! – Liz Truss was asked by Kay Burley if she’d ever been to Downing Street parties, or indeed even been invited to one.
And it’s a pretty straightforward question or two, you might think.
Except the way Truss chose to answer it didn’t look entirely straightforward. Hilariously hypnotic, in fact, so much so that we can’t stop watching it.
Liz Truss denies attending any parties during lockdown and also being invited to any.

Next stop, 10 Downing Street!
And here are just a few of the things people were saying about the foreign secretary today.
1.
Absolutely superb grilling of Foreign Secretary Liz Truss by @KayBurley on @SkyNews. A masterclass in how to hold a lying, cheating and corrupt Government to account

Someone has coached Liz Truss to moderate her body language and facial expressions. I understand the ploy to hoover up Thatcherites by appearing icy but there’s ‘icy’ and there’s ‘animatronic corpse’.

Liz Truss has all the gravitas of Michael Fabricant's wig. How did someone so utterly inconsequential end up as Foreign Secretary ??

A-level drama – Liz Truss.
The candidate was asked to improvise a stateswoman.
She deepened her voice and spoke slowly giving an impression of intellectual deficiency rather than gravitas, while her physicality suggested an ailing travel agent rather than world leader.

I hope the Foreign Office is not paying for @trussliz elocution lessons.

We see someone’s coached Liz Truss to look less like a jazzed spaniel.

Liz Truss’s defence of Boris Johnson has all the passion of a car parking ticket machine dispensing a ticket #BBCBreakfast

But most of all, this.
