Liz Truss leaves stage over ‘I crashed the economy’ lettuce banner

Former PM says ‘that’s not funny’ when remote-controlled banner is unfurled behind her at event in Suffolk

This is some beautifully-executed satire.

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss (whose reign lasted a mere 45 days) appeared at an event to promote her new book Ten Years to Save the West. As she was blathering on, activist group Led by Donkeys lowered a remote-controlled banner reading “I crashed the economy,” with a picture of the famous head of lettuce that outlasted her time in office.

Truss, like most conservative politicians, had no sense of humor about the event, and marched off the stage.

    Having proved herself too stupid and incompetent for even british politics, her only choice is to pivot to supporting republicans.

      Have you not heard anything she has to say? She’s one of THOSE people that think everyone is out to get her because she can’t understand the logic of why she is so widely disliked. Basically a US Republican. She’s even homophobic and bigoted to boot!
