Will the former Prime Minister’s latest offering fly off the shelves in great enough volumes to revive the economy she crashed? Or is it enough to save the Western world as she boasts? We’re not so sure. If there was anyone who imagined that, after kowtowing to Boris Johnson throughout his dismal premiership, leading her own dangerous and divisive culture war campaign for the Tory party leadership contest, crashing the UK economy in one afternoon, and resigning after a mere seven weeks as Prime Minister, Liz Truss would beat a quiet, shamefaced retreat from the public eye, then those people…

British sculptor Antony Gormley’s latest exhibition, Time Horizon, has taken over the grounds of a Norfolk country estate. In a seat of aristocratic opulence, 100 life-size cast iron figures stand looking out in different directions. Clearly they are human, but get a little closer and their faces appear formless, blurred.
