A world on the brink indeed, but thankfully, Liz Truss remains steadfast in her convictions - or so it seems. The UK's Prime Minister has taken to broadcasting her views via ultra-low-budget YouTube TV and podcast show, where she peddles a narrative of victimhood and government sabotage.
Truss's guests, however, have been less than enlightening. Former US Senator Marco Rubio made an appearance, only to find himself caught up in one of Truss's signature episodes - where the former PM insists on being the best prime minister Britain has ever had, despite widespread evidence to the contrary. The episode's quality is roughly equivalent to a hastily assembled YouTube video, with Truss repeating her talking points ad nauseam.
Another guest, Dan Wootton, former editor of the Sun and current presenter at GB News, seemed more than happy to lap up Truss's line, describing himself as one of the few true journalists left in the country. However, it's unclear whether this is a testament to his integrity or simply a desire for attention - perhaps both.
The two co-hosts spent much of their time decrying mainstream media outlets and calling out perceived enemies of the state, including Sky News presenter Beth Rigby and ITV News' Robert Peston. Theirs was a crusade that left one wondering if they were genuinely committed to truth-telling or simply part of some grand farce.
One can almost imagine Wootton's past - where he was sacked from MailOnline after being suspended for laughing at foul comments on air made by Laurence Fox about a female journalist. His present narrative, however, seems to involve him walking away from the mainstream media because it was "the right thing to do".
As for Truss and her podcast, one has to ask what draws in an audience of 2,000 people who tune in to watch two self-proclaimed truth-seekers spout conspiracy theories and misinformation. The answer, regrettably, is not available.
In short, Liz Truss's latest endeavour serves as a stark reminder that the UK still has some very dedicated fans - one can only hope they remain small in number for their own sake.
