Nato members, IT woes, and more than a little Liz Truss – take the Thursday quiz | Life and style

by

The Thursday quiz has had its mind fair boggled by Liz Truss and her attempts to stay relevant. Since losing in the general election she has issued a statement after the king’s speech, rocked up at the Republican national conference, and even got history rewritten, all while being a former MP. It is her birthday tomorrow, so, as an early present, the Thursday quiz decided to help her retain her impression she is a public figure, and centre the quiz on her. To keep with the theme, just like Liz’s tenure at No 10, it is a bit shorter than usual. Guess well!
