Liz Truss pork memes flood Twitter after old awkward clip resurfaces

  1. Without any judgement on their character or policies I think it’s fucking stupid that a clip of someone being a bit awkward over 5 years ago is somehow ammunition.

    Rishi talking about having no working class friends speaks more about their character but in the case of either maybe trying to base our collective views on someone based on a single 30 second video is incredibly short-sighted?

    I despise both candidates but I also thought it was fucking stupid when Ed Miliband seemingly lost votes because someone managed to get a photo while he was making a funny face while eating a sandwich.

  2. She will never escape that or her cheesy disgrace. Still, got to suspect that Sunak’s camp are paying some click farms for this.

  3. I wish they just get the election over with than dragging it to September. They managed to remove five contestants from the race in a week but the last 2 needs to take over a month? Stop wasting time.

  4. How much is Sunak paying to bring these clips up again? Obviously it’s cringey and daft, but we have to assume everything like this is an attack by Sunak. Same as if anything of him comes up, it will be an attack by Truss.

  5. My first view of Liz Truss was her in parliament trying to justify her government illegally selling arms to Saudi Arabia.

    Piece of shit.

  6. Anyone else get a weird “James May” vibe from her delivery? Half expected her to start talking about the launch of the new Dacia Sandero.

  7. You could argue that this is just edited to make her *look* like a moron, or that lefties will view this with confirmation bias to justify calling her a moron.

    Or you could take it as face value that she *is* a moron. It’s the words she’s saying and the delivery that she puts on them. I’ve worked for a mega corp before and cannot fathom any of our CEOs ever coming close to this absolute shambles of public speaking. If someone on their team passed them this in a script, I’m pretty sure they’d look at it with scrutiny and say “I’m not saying this shit. Do it again, better.” If they had to swallow the shit sandwich, I’m pretty sure they’d still be able to deliver it in a way that didn’t evoke a 4 y/o being pleased as punch at remembering to say their 3 word memorized line in the nativity play.

    Basically, I think she’s a moron. The idea of Liz Truss having to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Putin or Xi Jinping is frightening. Forget bringing a knife to a gunfight, we’d be turning up with a Kazoo.

  8. There’s something about both of them that might lead one to mad conspiracy theories about aliens in human suits. He just seems slightly more comfortable in his while she can’t quite get past the uncanny valley.

  9. The best thing here is the ‘better future’ sign in the background of a Tory 2014 campaign. They definitely didn’t deliver a better future for all. Just themselves

  10. Truss is the favourite – are the conservatives throwing the next election so that labour get the bad economy?
