1. The only criteria for being a current conservative front bencher is the ability to say complete nonsense with a straight face.

   They could stand in the flood water of Storm Eunice with rain flowing down their face and tell you it’s a sunny day.

2. All part of the plan to bankrupt the Russians by accepting all their money.

3. I mean she’s not wrong. Its been pretty broadly known for a while and doesn’t seem to affect their vote share.

   Its despicable behaviour nonetheless.

4. If I were here I would be too embarrassed to leave home in the morning.

5. “We are in now way compromised by taking all this Russian money. Have you tried the vodka? We’re taking a very strong stance agains Putin. Look at this wonderful stuffed bear! Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yes, that bit was always Russian anyway”

6. They’re not just venal cunts. They’re openly, brazenly venal cunts.

7. Uses to work somewhere can’t say where, Alexander lebedev a Russian oligarch had two people over for dinner, George osborn and Peter mandelson, I’m sure they discussed the weather.

8. Out of all the politicians I hate she is definitely high up there, seeing her laugh about their parties just infuriated me and do they take any responsibility… Do they fuck.

9. Of course she’s not embarrassed – she has zero shame, and she doesn’t care what the proles think because she – like the rest of the cabinate – is untouchable.

   She’s laughing all the way to the bank, and she’s laughing at us.

10. Don’t you just hate the scripted responses by the Corruption party whenever they are interviewed?

11. [deleted]

12. They would only be embarresed if their voter base was shocked by it. Unfortunately tory supporters don’t care if dirty money from Russia is donated that then is used to lobby and change our laws and direction of the country.

    Tory supporters call themselves patriots but they are doing Russians bidding by voting for tories and things like brexit. That’s why Boris said yet again in parliament that Russia election meddling hasn’t been successful (meaning that they do it, and probably are succesful)

13. Ofcourse she said that. The conservative party have abandoned morals and have become the most corrupt party in history. They will send putin a strongly worded letter though

14. Think of the poor Russians having to be pictured with Liz fucking Truss

15. Although wishing harm on tories is for some reason a no no. Liz truss’ tongue no longer working would make her a considerably less irritating person.

    The only better one being her and the whole tory party politely handing power over to someone that actually cares and then never doing anything ever again.

16. Tories are anti Britain. They cripple British industry, the cripple the British economy, they kill British citizens, they have dodgy meetings with foreign agents, they accept money from enemy foreign government puppets. This is why they wave the Union Flag as much as possible, they’re using it as a rug to cover up the mess they’re making. They’re the least patriotic party you can vote for.

17. Of course she doesn’t feel embarrassed. A shameless piece of Tory shit never will.

18. The Tory party have put tougher sanctions on the UK with Brexit than they have Russia for invading the Ukraine.

    Tells you all you need to know.

19. As a going voter, can anything be done about this ? Surely this is breaking the law ? Isn’t there anything on our law that triggers a vote if nothing f confidence or something. Seems so odd from an outside perspective

20. CIA will probably being looking into this as they’ll want to know who their real friends are. Might end real bad for Truss.

21. I cannot get why these bald-faced purveyors of corruption are not slung out on their ears.

22. If Truss doesn’t feel embarrassed right now she has no soul.

23. Of course she’s not embarrassed, the inability to feel shame is a necessary qualification for any Tory MP nowadays.

24. London & British politics are awash with Russian money. As [Bill Browder suggests](https://news.sky.com/video/russia-ukraine-tensions-target-putins-wealth-before-he-invades-ukraine-says-campaigner-bill-browder-12528944), that money should now all be impounded

25. To be fair, you can’t lump every Russian in with Putin. I mean if there’s evidence that they are the yeah, it shouldn’t be allowed, but otherwise its wrong to assume they are.

    Same could be said about Labour and the Chinese too, but then I suppose that’s ok.

    (And I don’t like any MP, no matter the party, they’re all in it for themselves)

26. It used to be fashionable to scoff at the idea that the Tories would ever be a front for [Moscow Gold](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/cambridge-academic-trawling-facebook-had-links-to-russian-university). Yet…

27. I’m now starting to see why criminals do what they do. They are just emulating the leaders of the country by doing something to fuck someone’s life up and then not giving a toss about the consequences. The only difference between the 2 sets of criminals is that one will do time and the other cunts won’t.

28. I too would be happy being photographed standing next to, even the most vile and murderous people, if it gave me a lifestyle income.

29. Good guys bad guys it’s all gravy through green tinted glasses

30. Liz Truss: we have found an old map from 1712 which indeed shows that these disputed territories do in fact belong to Russia… No it’s Elizabeth like the queen and there are 2 esses in Truss

31. The rest of us, however, are disgusted and mortified.

32. “Huge Donations To Tory Party from KKK Aren’t Damaging According To Liz Truss. (…) She Was Not “Embarrassed” About Being Pictured With KKK Members Either.”

33. I swear if we don’t get rid of these fucking brazen fucking jizzbags at the earliest opportunity then fuck it, I’m out.

34. What she actually means is “It’s not damaging for our personal accounts. Now, fuck off, you plebs.”

    ​

    At this point, why not just go full open dictatorship and be openly corrupt as fuck? They seem to have new scandals every week and somehow, retain power despite being crap.

35. “I’m not ashamed.”

    “That’s the problem. You should be.”

36. Liz Truss reminds me of a rotting meerkat corpse burning in the desert sun.

37. In defence of Ms Truss, she *is* a step up from Ms Dorries. :O
