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.
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.
