Of course she does. How was this woman ever Prime Minister? Even for a moment?

Liz who?
Who does the cabbage endorse?
Even the cabbage knows better...
Lettuce.
Sunik seems just as bad if not worse. Can any Brits elaborate on what it's like under him?
It's just clock watching to be honest, waiting for him to call the election.
Truss was damaging the economy. This one's just utterly useless and keeps putting his foot in it. But he hasn't crashed the economy so that's a plus.
But he just bows down to the hard right, so even if he himself isn't hard right. So he is still pretty awful.
There is a reason no one likes him. He's completely useless so both the right and the left get irritated by him.
Narcissist losers of a feather, flock together.
Biden's winning now
For sure. An endorsement by lady lettuce is a nail in any coffin.
She can speak???
FYI Mz Truss, the Head Of Lettuce endorsed Biden. And Mr Lettuce lasted longer than you. Your "best by" date has passed!
Ah, so we're lowering bars today.
She's just a footnote. At best.
She's a pub quiz answer.
And a god tier trivia question in 20 years. Who was prime Minister when the queen died?
That or which 'Prime Minister was outlasted by a lettuce?'
I just love she took the record of shortest serving prime minister from a guy who was already had the pneumonia that would kill him when he took office.
Yeah she's one for the pub quiz.
About the only use she is, aside from discrediting any policy suggestions that come out of the Institute for Economic Affairs (i.e. the Tuffton Street Twats).
I doubt anyone in the us has any idea who she is. Especially Trump followers
Many of us pay attention to world events. And I was cheering on the Lettuce!
The 'world was safer' argument is an especially bizarre one to make this week, of all weeks, when the Middle East is 'on the cusp' of a wider conflict that was partly caused by Donald Trump's unilateral withdrawal from a treaty with Iran. And Trump also inflamed tensions in that same region by moving the US' Israeli Embassy to Jersualem. As to conflict in 'the West' specifically, he also endorsed and continues to endorse the very people pushing the West towards conflict, and himself caused violent conflict in the US, which was part of 'the West' last time I checked.
Don't forget about freeing the 5000+ ISIS fighters & handing Afghanistan back over to them.
Not just the withdrawal, but also the assassination of a Revolutionary Guards general, which Iran themselves said was why they staged October 7 as an act of revenge.
Ms Truss was speaking ahead of the publication of her book - her account of her time in Number 10.
More a pamphlet really.
How to care for lettuce.
Is this a reference to something. I foofled it but no light was shed.
From the context I presume it is a way of saying it's a book no one would read, but is there more to it?
A newspaper had a webcam on a fresh head of lettuce. They wondered which would last longer. The lettuce or Liz Truss as PM. The lettuce won.
Ha Thank you very much.
Considering how her month long stint as PM went, I fully welcome her endorsement of Trump
and the West is "on the cusp" of conflict.> Partly because the orange idiot sucked up to them.
I know it's not a black and white case but he certainly didn't help, and still isn't.
Can someone please pull the brits aside and explain nobody cares what they think? This is getting embarassing
I love it! That internet assuredness. Ahh, it's magical.
Nobody cares what Liz Truss thinks. But you're on a UK community, reading a UK news outlet, continuing to talk about UK matters. Ooof, that's embarrassing for you.
I think people sometimes forget that the UK is still 1/8th of the core anglosphere.
Nice list of things that no-one who can vote in a US presidential election cares about.
And yet you still care enough to comment.
Please stop. This is embarrassing for you.
Oh yeah??? Well we Americans don't get into embarrassing situations, we get into WARS!!! /s
Hey, can y'all explain the lettuce thing to me? I think I recall it being something about when she was possibly going to be next in power that people started saying that lettuce had a longer shelf-life than she potentially did? We had a lot going on over here during that time and I never fully grasped the nuance of the lettuce joke and always kinda regretted that.
Thank you and that is HILARIOUS! How is the Daily Star still around after publicly murdering Liz Truss???
oh no I have been owned, congrats you have restored the british empire to it's former place as world super power
You're on a UK sub what did you expect it to be about?
