How to do the perfect Liz Truss impression | Jan Ravens

[@johnsonrob]

The best description of Truss that I have heard - "... little girl whose daddy had always told her that she was funny..."

Daddy was too kind!

How wonderful! The lovely Jan Ravens has nailed Truss completely. I'm going to enjoy the next few months hugely thanks to this fabulous woman. Thanks Jan!

Love Jan Ravens! Could never watch Kirsty Wark on Newsnight without thinking of her impression from Dead Ringers. More on that story later…

She's still gorgeous. Love the grey too. Hollywood actresses could take a look at what growing old gracefully looks like.

[@LaurenceBoyce]

Fascinating and brilliant.

[@barriewilliams4526]

At the age of 85 I've seen a lot of politicians come & go, but modern politicians don't seem to have what it takes. Perhaps it's just that people of the right calibre do not wish to be politicians, so we are left with mediocre?......

[@HektorBandimar]

Liz Truss is more on a town councillor level, than an M.P.

[@petyrkowalski9887]

I agree… and the ones tht do want it see the opportunity for self-enrichment. They dont actually care about British people one jot.

[@shantibel]

Best LT impersonation ever.

[@courcheval]

It s fascinating and tragic at the same time to watch an ex global Empire fall into the abyss of insignificance. English people are falling into mass poverty and the Times, a former respectable institution, dances on the brink of the social volcano with a record level of inconciousness. That s truely fascinating! Keep the show going on!

[@sarfaraz.hosseini]

The Times has a fun little piece about impressions, it's not the basis of an existential crisis. Chill out, and stop being so weird.

Liz Trus has a stilted, childish way of speaking. She seems to be incapable of fluid speech - completing sentences without inserting irritating pauses. And it's not as though she ever says anything that demands much brainpower to interpret.
