Why do politicians have to ruin everything? I’m not even talking about the government as a whole, setting brother against brother, “red wall” against “blue wall”; this is specifically about Liz Truss and her Claire’s accessories earrings.
It was Nadine Dorries who drew attention to the £4.50 baubles, as she sought on Twitter to distinguish Truss from her overprivileged rival, Rishi Sunak. Liz is salt of the earth, was Dorries’ message. If Sunak spent as much in Claire’s as he does on his suits, he wouldn’t be able to carry the amount of jewellery he’d bought and would probably also own the shop.
