Liz Truss helps boxer who beat up pensioner to launch whiskey in bizarre video
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Liz Truss joined a bare-knuckle fighter at the launch party for his new whiskey brand – and mimicked the ex-convict's catchphrase in an Instagram video. The former Prime Minister was filmed holding up a bottle of Dougie Joyce's spirit as he told his followers: 'Just remember, Dougie Joyce loves ya.' She adds sheepishly: 'Liz Truss loves you.' Truss's appearance came just months after Joyce, who once boasted he was the 'next Tyson Fury', was released from prison after he beat up a 78-year-old man in a pub in November 2022. A police officer said after his sentencing: 'Joyce is an aggressive and violent man who intended to intimidate and inflict pain on a vulnerable 78-year-old man by carrying out this horrendous assault. 'Joyce was wearing a large gold pyramid-style ring when he punched the man in the face, causing him significant injury due to the size and shape accelerated by force and the series of punches he endured.' Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sign up here. He was jailed again in May last year after getting involved in a fight with a rival family at a wake. Tagging Truss in an Instagram post, Joyce wrote: 'It was a great honour to have former Prime Minister Liz Truss as a special guest at my event. 'Her presence was a tremendous support, and she took the time to speak about the future of business and the steps we can take moving forward.' He added that she 'added a distinguished touch to the occasion'. Truss served a memorably brief term in Number 10, lasting just 49 days in the second half of 2022 before she resigned over the reaction to her radical mini-budget. At last year's general election, she was among the highest-profile Conservative MPs to lose their seats. More Trending She has since been invoked as a symbol of economic mismanagement by current PM Sir Keir Starmer, most recently in an attack on Nigel Farage. Starmer labelled the Reform leader 'Liz Truss 2.0' over his plans to cut taxes and make benefits more generous. Truss herself has not ruled out making a political comeback and has recently styled herself as a supporter of hard-right causes around the world. At the weekend, she appeared alongside Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the CPAC Hungary event in Budapest.

Netflix mini-series hailed 'best of the year' as crime show racks in 73 million viewing hours
Netflix's latest crime series has left fans absolutely hooked with its sinister twists and eerie plot racking in 73 million viewing hours in just weeks. Netflix's latest crime thriller has turned into one of the streaming platform's most addictive breakout hits, racking in 73 million viewing hours and leaving social media users buzzing about its shocking twist. The six-part Swedish mini series, The Glass Dome, has already hit Netflix's top 10 list of non-English shows with the programme being branded as 'Scandi Noir at its finest' and 'one of the best shows' of the year by viewers who couldn't stop watching. The show, which was first released on April 15, follows criminologist Lejla Ness, portrayed by Léonie Vincent as she makes her way back to her hometown in Sweden after the death of her adoptive mother. However, she instead gets caught up in the case of a missing girl that bears haunting similarities to her own childhood abduction. The gripping mini-series, written by Camilla Läckberg and directed by Lisa Farzaneh and Henrik Björn, blends eerie psychological mystery with emotional depth. As Lejla digs deeper into the mystery, she is forced to come face to face with long-buried trauma and unearth dark secrets that tie the past to the present. Despite initially flying slightly under the radar, The Glass Dome ahs now exploded in popularity thanks to word of mouth and gushing online reactions, the Express reports. One Twitter user wrote: 'Anyone looking for an addictive Swedish crime series, I recommend #TheGlassDome on Netflix.' Another chimed in: 'Finished #TheGlassDome and it's one of the best shows I've watched this year. Suspense in almost every scene that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Very well done.' Other viewers applauded the programme's fantastic storyline and chilling finale with one remarking: 'A heavy, dark story but that twist? Unforgettable.' Someone else wrote: 'The glass dome on Netflix was so good. I didn't see that twist coming until the moment it happened. Men are evil!!!!' There were also comparisons to major prestige thrillers as one person penned:'Just binged Glaskupan (The Glass Dome) on Netflix and wow, this Nordic thriller had me on edge! "Perfect mix of suspense and mystery, after True Detective, Mindhunter, The Chestnut Man, this one got me. 7/10, Highly recommend!' Someone else added: 'This Nordic Noir series was absolutely mind blowing!! Please Watch The Glass Dome on Netflix!' While audiences have been raving about the show, critics have also had only positive things to say. The Glass Dome currently holds an 88% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, though the audience score is lower at 55%. Still, reviewers are calling it a must-watch. One commented: 'Although it tags a few familiar bases — an unreliable main character who's overmedicating, a less than bereaved husband — it's always engrossing even when the actions of the characters get more and more infuriating.' Another agreed: 'While the limited series isn't perfect, it still gives you a solid half-day binge with a few chilling moments and mild entertainment.' The Glass Dome is only six episodes long, proving that a limited run does not equate to a limited impact as fans are already begging to see more. One wrote:'#TheGlassDome needs multiple seasons." The Glass Dome is streaming now on Netflix.
