Liz Truss visits the optician

Redistribution is a lens, says Truss,
which governments may choose to use – or not.
Although egalitarians will fuss
she’s happy when the richest gain a lot
‘cos through the unearned profits lens that’s fine.
The endless trays mean flexibility:
when she’s in fearless critic mode her line
is “Brits are workshy scroungers”, but she’s free
to boast of our resilience when she brings
her imitation Churchill lens to bear.
This way? Or that? Her smiling profile swings
from side to side. Who cares what’s right or fair?
Once posing has begun, she cannot stop;
this is her favourite lens – the photo op.
