Liz Truss leaves stage in Beccles as 'lettuce' banner unfurls
The former prime minister brings a speech to an abrupt end when the banner - which also reads "I crashed the economy" - appears.
She's right, that's not funny. I'm still paying a stupidly high mortgage rate because of her.
But pranking her like this and watching the reaction, is indeed really funny.
What did she do to make people's mortgages go up?

Here's a short video summary if you're interested in some hilariously fucked up UK politics.
The first 45 sec of the video will set the stage for you.
Tried to force through a budget that brought the UK within hours of a greek style total economic collapse until the bank of England stepped in to unfuck things because it was just going to be that bad if they didn't.
The problem with Truss is that she has nothing to fall back to career wise for the rest of her life. Apart from that outrageous PM pension she has nothing to do to pass her time. Because anytime she wants to get even loosely involved in politics, the lettuce will remind her of her last attempt. And I'm absolutely fine with that 👍.
If it makes you feel any better she doesn't get that pension https://fullfact.org/online/liz-truss-annual-allowance/
Sadly she has a long string of speaking gigs. Her and Boris charge a premium for it.
It's all she can do. She could try to parlay her political experience into management or consultancy, but it's clear to everyone that she was ultimately very bad at everything except climbing the greasy pole to the top of an organization full of unpleasant weirdos. Once she had the responsibility to lead in the wider world, she revealed herself as clueless.
What I learned from this article:
- Liz Truss has no sense of humour
- Liz Truss is intimidated by a picture of lettuce with googly eyes.
Why are far-right people so fucking weird?!
Why are far-right people so fucking weird?!
I think it's just the reverse. The really weird ones think that far-right policies have any mass market appeal.
It’s not like a well compensated, prestigious job like prime minister requires accountability, a sense of duty or decency in 2024. Take it on the chin Liz, even if you’re fired. That was part of the deal.
to the delight of us all
It’s mad that our cast-off politicians and celebs can be proven failures (Truss, Farage, Corden, Morgan etc) and the yanks will still roll out the red carpet for them because they think our failure cast-offs have an air of sophistication about them.
The only one that hasn't made the move is Jeremy Clarkson.
Clarkson is literally doing more to help farming in Britain than anyone else
If I was her I would never wear green again
i have come to terms with the fact that conservatives have no shame or pride and they'll weasel in and out of every opportunity to make a cent more.
but i don't understand how you bring out your 4.5-scaramucci-ass joke of a presence to any venue and not only be surprised that people make fun of you but you get all pissy about it and fuck off as if you have any dignity? too late truss, if you had any dignity you would dig a hole and stay in it until you die.
I think she was in on it for the publicity. She was even wearing a matching dress. She would probably call it a frock though.
Lizteria. Is that Lettuce hysteria?
When you are an asshole and an idiot at the same time and get treated like one - don't be that surprised, Liz. The Lettuce was your boss level monster, and you lost. And now it made you run away from reality again.
All I can say is Go, Lettuce Go!
