To heat or eat is usually mentioned in relation to British men and women who choose not to work hard enough in our world beating economy. But it is also a dilemma faced by one of the bigger beasts on the political landscape. Liz Truss. Clearly Global Britain’s next Prime Minister, Ms Truss now only waits for someone else to land the killer blow against the bloated T Rex crashing about indoors at 10 Downing Street. They can then crown her PM.
The political death throes of Mr Johnson are prime entertainment for Ms Truss, and indeed the entire cabinet, chosen for their loyalty to Mr Johnson (above all else). To heat or eat? What will Ms Truss decide when Mr Johnson’s carcass lies steaming at her feet. Should she just tuck in there and then or cook the flesh? I think cooking would be best, as that way the generous layer of fat on top can be used to flavour the political dinner and not clam up the aorta of the next Prime Minister.
This deals with Mr Johnson easily enough. Matters are now taking their course. But what of the voters?
What of them? You may reasonably ask. Indeed it is a question that is rarely asked inside Conservative Headquarters.
They will though need some wooing. It will be a strong start for Ms Truss to explain to them that the eyewatering rises to the costs of living are solely the fault of the former Prime Minister. But there maybe one or two stubborn holdouts in the Red Wall.
Here Ms Truss’s only notable talent can be used enthusiastically.
Portraiture. It is as certain as today’s sunset that if Ms Truss were to use the public purse to send each and every voter a personally signed, high gloss portrait of herself they will be won over.
Except perhaps for some of the nation’s housewives who maybe jealous of the attention the photos receive from their husbands. But when has a Conservative Prime Minister ever worried about them?
