The old bag will emigrate to the States.
What's utterly bizzare are the comments suggesting it's an attack on free speech - yet that's EXACTLY what it is - free speech. Stupid old moo.
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.www.bbc.co.uk
I find it astonishing that she is being paid to speak at events and presumably people are paying to listen to her!
I generally don’t agree with this sort of stunt and I don’t think it’s conducive to free speech. But there are exceptions to every rule and Truss has earned the privilege of being termed ‘an exception’ in my book.

Thanks. Lovely stuff!
It's not what they say, but who's saying it - that's what it boils down to sometimes. Yes, that awful little woman is apparently barnstorming the country in support of Trump (though why anybody, left, right or stupid should campaign for the **** in this country is beyond me) s is worthy of any amount of scorn or derision. Believe me, I can sneer at Ms. Trump - sorry, Truss - with the sneeriest of the sneeriest on here, bur sometimes even she says some things I agree with.Answers on a postcard please for the most creative and appropriate way to dispose of Liz Truss’s constituency update that’s just been shoved through my letterboxThe piece on ‘illegal’ immigrants and taking us out of the European Convention on Human Rights says it all really. No thanks Ms Truss - not in my name.

1). Clamp down on speeding? Yes, I'm in favour of that - does everybody left of Kenneth Clark suddenly think speeders are victims and their civil rights should be respected?
2). She's supported a campaign of her constituents to keep a traveller site out of their village. Well, I'd damn well hope my MP would do the same!
3). And as for concern about our inability to remove people who come here illegally (providing they're not genuine refugees, of course) - well, yes, it is a problem, is it not? Should we be saying, oh that's alright, let 'em all in and welcome?
Now, that's three things the awful woman has put up on her newsletter. I broadly agree with them - so does that make me a right wing MAGA supporting fascist who thinks Liz Truss was/is great? I think not; it's just a bad choice of things with which to berate her.
Good sticks to beat her with:-
Supporting Trump? - despicable.
Lettuce banner? - hilarious and most apposite.
Constituency newsletter? - not so much!

Truss taking over as PM from Johnson like some sort of dystopian nightmare.
How could Britain have totally f***ed things up so completely that we got this ............... oh yeah, I remember

She is completely and utterly deranged. Impossible to imagine how ANYONE could ever have voted for her. Her parents must be mortified (continuously).
Oh come on, it's not that difficult. The vote was by Tory party members, many in the shires of English England. "Do you want the black one or the white one?" - if only I'd spotted the (reality) odds and made a killing!

She is the gaffe that keeps on giving.
We should all keep her in our thoughts.
Lettuce pray for her.

She was largely unknown and a Remainer.
Then, power before scruples, she chanced upon a burgeoning Alt Right movement on both sides of the Atlantic and jumped onboard. Seeing this as an opportunity to become PM, now her ego has gone into overdrive, positioning herself for a new UK movement on a par with MAGA.
My instinct, praying I’m right, is that this country will always be too conservative and too liberal to give the numbers Farage and Truss envisage.
