Foreign secretary’s appearance on BBC’s new Sunday politics TV show deepens enigma of her own making
Half the battle in launching a new Sunday politics TV show is booking the right guests. You don’t want your opening programme to be interviews with Jacob Rees-Mogg and John Redwood. So the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg pretty much nailed it by getting Liz Truss as the star attraction.
There was a small downside, mind. We are all obliged to pretend that Truss isn’t a certainty to become the new leader of the Tory party on Monday, so she is still umbilically linked with Rishi Sunak. Which meant that the show also had to find time for Ready for Rish! despite him being last week’s story.
