■ HER doomed budget was feared to have cost Britain £65 billion.

Yet Liz Truss still managed to blag a freebie to the Brit Awards. The former PM has recorded that she was given £1,320 worth of hospitality at the pop music jamboree at the O2 Arena in London last month.

The gift was donated by UK Music, whose chief executive is former Tory special adviser Jamie Njoku-Goodwin. Truss is a big Taylor Swift fan but, sadly, the American superstar didn’t perform at this year’s ceremony. Haters gonna hate . . .
