• REJOICE, the rightful heir to “Our Lady of the Coalfields” has finally been found and anointed, by the tiny, aging, speck of the population which is the Tory party membership, bitter that the lower orders should get even one unpaid-for peanut, have elected gimlet-eyed, perma-smirking, Liz Truss, who is so right wing she should seek medical attention.

Sure she will make a few token gestures to alleviate the mass poverty her party is responsible for, but with the same grudging gracelessness that is its hallmark.

The same class war waged by the Tories since 1979 merely continues with a new leader.
