Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

[Truss complained that the British press wasn't] “particularly deferential to politicians”

Why should they be? Their job should be to inform the public, not suck up to those in power.

Right? Fourth Estate doing its job, bitch. They spend enough time sucking capitalist dick, let them have this.

Also she holds no political offices right now. She isn't even an MP anymore. I think few politicians in the UK have demolished themselves this fast and spectacularly.
