As you’ll surely know by now, Liz Truss has got a new book out, and at this point it feels like she’s spent more time talking about it than she did in Downing Street.

By all accounts, it’s not very good, the totally bizarre nature of the whole exercise beautifully captured by LBC’s James O’Brien.

And we mention it again because this particular London bookshop just went wildly viral on Twitter after @NicholasTyrone shared what they did with Truss’s tome. And as takedowns go, it’s one for the ages.

Just in case that’s tricky to see in full!

Aced it.

I suppose they don’t have a ‘Complete and Utter Bollocks’ section.

Could equally be shelved under horror.

But most of all, this.

Congrats to whoever is responsible for the shelving. 😉https://t.co/FqvpgyVtN5
