IT really seems as though nobody at any level of society seems they can be bothered with Liz Truss right now.
Having faced heavy criticism in the House of Commons on Wednesday about her Chancellor’s disastrous mini budget, Liz Truss had an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace.
The King might not exactly be in touch with the rest of us, but he did seem to sum up what everyone is thinking on this particular occasion.
The pair greeted each other with Liz Truss telling the King “it’s lovely to see you again” as Charles noted she was “back again”.
The prime minister had an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace, who could be heard saying 'dear, oh dear' as he met her.

However, whilst Liz Truss said it was a “great pleasure”, Charles can be heard simply saying “dear, oh dear”.
It’s hard to think of three words which better sum up the new PM’s time in the job thus far.
She’s successfully sent the pound to record lows, refused to rule out imposing real terms cuts to benefits and given a series of car-crash local radio interviews which showed how completely out of touch Truss really is.
“Dear, oh dear” indeed.

Many Twitter users commented how even the King seemed to be sharing the general mood of the nation.
One said: “Perhaps he’s more in touch than we think” whilst another added “he probably can’t believe what a mess she made already”.
Somebody else said: “Think everybody thinking the same thing” whilst another said the King “so clearly shares the despair of the nation”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
