Liz Truss resignation honours list criticised by ex-aides

  1. This is the equivalent of getting sacked becasue you are really crap at a job, then as a leaving gift you get to pick 4 people who will be hired permanently and never lose their job…

    Madness.

  2. Yep, the whole concept of, I’m leaving – in her case, in absolute disgrace – so I get to pick some mates to have a permanent say in our countries laws, is just absolutely disgraceful…

  3. Don’t forget her massive pension in the form of a lifetime salary for working 40 something days.

    Meanwhile millennials won’t get a pension worth £8000 even after 40 years of work

  4. If she had any conscience, she’d not make a list. But she doesn’t, so she will. It just proves how awful and devoid of morality these people are. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

  5. If only the UK had a written constitution with actual checks and balances… and legally binding consequences for failures to perform the roles adequately.

    If you resign you do not get further involvement.

    Voted out is not the same.

    I love living in a banana republic. I’m just hoping the banana yield improves…

  6. Honour should only be bestowed by those who already have some.

    Resigning in disgrace for, say, self-destructing the economy to cut your mates’ taxes or knowingly giving a sex pest a job and then lying about it, should automatically revoke any such privileges.

  7. I’ve started a petition to say it shouldn’t be allowed however need 5 more people to sign to get it going, PM if you’d like to get the ball rolling

  8. This along with her atrocious and unapologetic “come back” interview a little while ago just demonstrates that this person has no shame.

  9. We need to get rid of honours system.

    These people are the brains behind Liz Truss. That should disqualify them immediately

  10. If I were her I’d be too fucking ashamed to show my face in public ever again, let alone present an honours list. I’d be gone in the wind, with a new name in a new country and every day I’d wake up praying no one fucking recognised me. Jesus christ did she forget the lettuce? Did she forget she was the shortest seving PM to have not keeled over in office? Absolute bottom of the barrel fuckup of a PM.

  11. She is absolutely deluded. As with everything else, she doesn’t get it…but is focused on getting the job done 🙄

  12. She should be consigned to history and forgotten, unless we need a warning of how bad a PM can be for future generations. She was PM, she can at least claim a place in the history of the UK for somehow achieving that against all odds. That should be the only honour she should be allowed.

  13. Incredible there isn’t something like a 90 day minimum term in office that needs to be served before PMs can put names forward for honours.

  14. It’s my own fault. I realise that. I’m in my sixties, I’ve lived through this government for all these years, yet for some reason I’m *still* shocked at how shameless they are. What’s wrong with me?

  15. This entire concept is absolute bullshit. Truss was PM for less than 2 months, did an utterly fucking abysmal job, and now she gets to reward some of her friends? Fuck off with that.

    There should be no positives to being a shit Prime Minister in any way whatsoever. Liz Truss failed us completely, and that should be a stain that never fades.
