Liz Truss storms off stage after lettuce banner stunt

Liz Truss left the stage at an event to promote her own book after she was targeted by campaigners joking about the lettuce that outlasted her time in Downing Street.

The former prime minister was speaking in Suffolk on Tuesday in support of her memoir Ten Years to Save the West when the event was ambushed with a remote-controlled banner.

Ms Truss, who lost her seat at the general election last month, was in office for just 49 days before a backlash to her mini-budget from the market and Tory MPs forced her resignation.

  1. I'm honestly glad she stormed off. If she'd been able to take the joke with grace and dignity I would have been forced to respect her a little bit. I'm happy I can keep that respect down at 0%.

  2. Exactly the public humiliation our servants deserve🤣

    Love how it is slowly revealed in contrast to the abrupt style kf just stop oil

  3. oh God, as an American, I wish we had this more dry sense of political humor. The whole shock value thing is lame. Give me some English subtlety. Also, do the English still eat iceberg? Only ever seen Marco, Jamie, Gordon, and Heston use cos, baby gem, rocket, and sorrel. I've learned that only Tommy Lascelles can sort out British govt incompetence and corruption

  4. Overhated politician, was scary how the press managed to rally everyone against her so quickly and thoroughly.
    She was stabbed in the back by the bank of England and large corporations for actually proposing to increase corporation tax. The Bank of England ceo, under threat of being replaced, intentionally tanked the economy in the short term through quantitative easing.

  5. Brits still laughing at Liz when Kier is turning the entire nation into a laughing stock 😂😂
