Liz Truss should keep quiet, Badenoch tells Cabinet

1. **From The Telegraph:**

   Kemi Badenoch told the shadow cabinet last week that Liz Truss should keep quiet in public, The Telegraph understands.

   Four sources in the meeting confirmed a comment of that nature was made by Mrs Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, about her predecessor and the former prime minister.

   The message Mrs Badenoch delivered was recalled by those present as “shut up for a while”, “stop making unhelpful interventions”, or a plea for Ms Truss to be less “vocal”.

   A spokesman for Mrs Badenoch said she did not use the phrase “shut up”, but there was no denial that she had remarked on Ms Truss’s public statements.

   The comment, said to have been delivered offhand by Mrs Badenoch, reveals the tensions at the very top of the Conservative Party about how to handle Ms Truss’s economic legacy.

2. Now on that single point, myself and Badenoch agree.

4. Wish someone had thought of that sooner. Much sooner.

5. She doesn’t want competition for Top Crazy.

6. And they’re all side eyeing eachother, silently conveying the sentence “yeah but, so should you”.

7. Tells Shadow Cabinet

8. I’ve been saying that for years 💁‍♂️

9. I think we should put Liz truss and tony Blair in a simulation of the world where loads of people really want to hear what they have to say. And they can be happy, and we can all be happy and we can get on with doing stuff without interruptions.

10. Shadow cabinet

11. Crashing the economy aside, can we acknowledge that liz truss uploaded a pic of herself on twitter and then made it her profile picture AND her cover photo?!

    It’s just weird. And cringe.
