“They tried to silence her. They failed.” The trailer for the newest thriller to hit our screens doesn’t disappoint. It’s a tagline that conjures images of Sigourney Weaver or Angelina Jolie, locked and loaded and out for justice. So who is 2025’s heroine, staring down the camera as she sets out on a quest for revenge? Get ready… for former prime minister Liz Truss. “It’s time to fight for the West,” Truss, still speaking very much like someone who might be spraying bullets around in the final act, told X (formerly Twitter) as she announced her newest venture, a YouTube show.
Fighting for the West turns out to look a lot like the way the rest of us have coped with midlife disappointment: launching a podcast. It goes without saying that any new podcast is bad news, but if you’re worried that Truss might be joined by a celebrity chum to talk about films or football, you’ve been spared that. The format she’s opted for seems to be True Crime. And in a twist, it’s going to be narrated by the victim.
“In 2022, I was deposed from the office of Prime Minister of Great Britain,” Truss intones in the promo video. Were you? “Deposed” sounds like Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara stormed Downing Street, whereas the prosaic reality was a visit from a senior Conservative sadly informing her that her fellow MPs thought she was a busted flush. “The Deep State and their allies in the media and politics tried to destroy me because I challenged their decades-long failure,” Truss growls. Again, not to quibble, but some of us recall fawning headlines like “Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Woman” and “At last, a TRUE Tory Budget”. But perhaps she means the Deep State Daily Star, which did the front page with the lettuce.
“Now I’m back,” Truss goes on. Have you been away? Anywhere nice? Were there padded walls? “I will expose the people who brought me down. I will take on the Deep State.” This Deep State – is it in the room with us now? “Tune in to the Liz Truss show every Friday. Tune in to the Counter Revolution.” Again, this is picking nits, but revolutions are traditionally against the state. If Truss thinks she’s a counter-revolutionary, she is surely part of the Deep State, whatever that actually is. We’ll come back to that question.
Truss is far from the only politician to try to move into TV. Ed Balls is now a feature of breakfast shows. Matt Hancock went on I’m A Celebrity. She’s not even the first prime minister to do it: Harold Wilson had a short run as a chat show host. But Truss is uniquely unpopular in Britain: so disliked that the nation probably doesn’t even want to watch her eating kangaroo anus.
Fortunately for her – and, let’s face it, us – the target audience of her show isn’t on this side of the Atlantic. It’s being made with the Donald Trump-supporting journalist John Solomon’s network. That’s why she’s banging on about a Deep State and the mainstream media – it’s the language of American fruitcakery.
That also explains why the promo video features shots of some of Truss’s lowest moments, from her resignation speech to the tragic press conference after she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor: it seems to have been assembled by an editor who didn’t understand what they were looking at. Truss told Solomon this week her show would be “a warning to America about what could happen to you.” Do they need it? You’d think Americans would have a pretty good idea by now of what happens when an emotionally fragile fool runs your country.

But the whole show promises to rest on Truss’s galactic levels of un-self-awareness. “The problem we’ve got in Britain,” she told Solomon, is that “we have a ruling elite who just don’t like their own country.” There’s no better way for a former prime minister to make the point than to slag the rest of us off for the benefit of Americans. Truss may need money. Although she can claim back up to £115,000 a year for costs associated with her public duties as a former prime minister, this isn’t the same as a salary, and having lost her seat in Parliament, she no longer gets paid as an MP.
But what she needs more is affirmation. We are all the heroes of our own narratives. Truss’s political career ended in failure and humiliation at a level unmatched in modern British history. For her to still be the hero, this disaster must have been the work of some pretty special villains.
“I’m going to expose the truth about what happened to me and who was behind it,” Truss promised Solomon. The rest of us know what happened, of course, but one woman can never face it. This will be her story.
