Liz Truss sends legal letter ordering Starmer to stop saying she crashed economy
‘Cease and desist’ letter accuses PM of harming her reputation and contributing to her losing her seat
Liz Truss has sent a legal letter to Keir Starmer demanding he stops making “false and defamatory” claims that she crashed the economy.
The former prime minister sent a six-page “cease and desist” letter accusing Starmer of harming her reputation and contributing to her losing her South West Norfolk seat in the general election.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'd love to see legal action over this; "No, it's not defamatory - it's a matter of record. Jog on."
It's purely about making the government waste money.
Or more specifically, making the government hesitate to allow lettuce to force them to waste taxpayers' money in court. She knows full well what ever answer is returned. Looks bad to a large % of voters.
If kier is smart. He will stand up in parliament and state that. Something like.
" She is desperate to make a name for herself, having bankrupted the UK. Either by her own reclass economic actions or by forcing the government to fight expensive libel suits, she has no chance of winning.
So the answer is simple. From now on, I will only address her undeniable economic stupidity in parliament. Where the courts have no jurisdiction over the claims of politicians.
If she wants to silence the truth. She will need to convince one of you MPs to stand up for her proven stupid economic lettuce rot. And risk your seats on the claims as she did."
But more eloquently.
But more eloquently.
So maybe something like: "She can shove her cease and desist up her arse and fuck off while she's doing it!"?
"Perhaps the honourable lady would consider repositioning the 'cease and desist letter' about her person, perhaps so as to protect it from sunlight?"
i.e shove it where the sun doesn't shine
In parliment it would require something like.
She can reverse ingest her letter while procreating with a donkey.
Yes that will do
As much as I’m not a fan of Starmer (Changes his mind too much and he’s a red Tory), he does have a mature way of dealing with these people. Look at how he handles Musk.
Sorta agree.
Def a red tory. Or more to the point believes in the capatalistic properganda most of the western world dose. But its getting harder to beleave anyone that dosent can win.
Not sure changing your mind is a bad thing. In fact id suggest not being willing to is more of a fault. IE i personally think it is impirtant to describe why the changea are in error. Rather then indicate a strict following of your ideals without following evidence. Is some how advantages to society.
But yeah. Ob the whole I agree. He isnlikely to handle this as well as anyone can.
You’ve got a point about changing your mind. Showing you can learn or accept fault is strength of character. It’s just the number of times he’s done it and the things he’s changed his mind about that bug me. I’d have to look examples up though.
Yeah.
I also thinkjitbis imporrant for government to recognise and id the reasons for changes.
He and his government seem to be ignoring openess. At the same level as the start of the last gov.
I'd love it to go to court and backfire so that it becomes illegal to trash talk your opponent. It'd kind of fuck up all political discourse but it would super fuck the Tories since that's all they do.
In the sky news report about this they basically said just that.
The case cannot happen because a victory for her essentially would require the courts to interfere with politics, and they can't do that.
It's the very definition of a frivolous lawsuit. It won't see the inside of a courtroom except to get kicked out again.
This isn't the US you can't just sue for whatever random thing you want you actually have to have a case.
