      We’re having an election this month here in Canada. 

      I thought this was a pretty hilarious endorsement FOR Carney.

      So Carney got rid of our worst-ever PM for us?

      Canadians, please elect this man, while I figure out how I can marry him

      Its funny to remember why Truss had to step down in the end.

      Conservative MPs talked about ousting her as leader after the mini budget disaster. Truss felt that her authority was being threatened, so tried to stare her critics down.

      She called a vote on granting new oil fracking licenses in the UK and told her Conservative MPs it was a confidence vote – if they didn’t vote for it and for her, they’d lose the whip and potentially their seats. Liz Truss thought that her MPs didn’t hate her enough to risk losing their jobs just to get rid of her.

      Turns out they did. And many of them voted against the bill anyway.

      When Liz Truss realised what was happening, she panicked and frantically tried telling her MPs it wasn’t a confidence vote after all and they could vote for what they wanted.

      Then a lot of Conservative MPs who didn’t want more oil fracking but felt pressured to vote for it then asked if they could change their votes.

      Conservative MPs didn’t all trust each other and thought some were lying about it now being a free vote. They argued with each other and asked the Chief Whip what was going on.

      The Chief Whip hadn’t been informed by Liz Truss of the change and when asked repeatedly by Conservative MPs what was going on, she said “Nah fuck this, I’m resigning” and left Parliament for the rest of the night.

      Nobody knew what was going on and Liz Truss lost the vote anyway. Deputy PM Therese Coffey went home and told reporters that it had been “a difficult day”, to put it mildly.

      Less than twelve hours later, Liz Truss resigned.

      Its just a fun story of how utterly incompetent and out of touch with reality Liz Truss is. So whenever you see stories of her blaming anyone but herself for her career collapsing, remember this story.

      When you think that Kemi overtook Liz in the race to the bottom…Liz opens her mouth and takes the lead!

      Reminder: Carney left his job as BoE governor in 2020 and the lettuce was PM in 2022!!!

      I suppose it has been a while since she’s been an idiot in public. Must get into your blood or something. I’m sure Carney appreciates the endorsement.

      Truss has spent the last few days watching Trump stay in office despite crashing the market and mourning the fact that we don’t have a presidential system.

      Hi Liz, look at the keys (Jingle, jingle) these are the keys to the houses of all the peoples mortgages that you caused to skyrocket. You, nobody else, you wanted to be PM, you did the speech with the budget, you.

      Always amuses me to think that the dyed in the wool Tory faithful, who think they’re somehow politically astute, choose this absolute imbecile as the best option.

      Admittedly, the talent pool was as deep as a dried up puddle but it really put how utterly clueless they must be into complete perspective.

      Can we deport liz truss please. Literally anywhere.

      Send her to Mars with Elon please.

      I wonder how Mark Carney managed that, given he was replaced as Governor if the Bank of England by Andrew Bailey in March 2020….

      She should stop with the political carer and become a comedian, because every time she comes out with a new excuse as to why it wasnt her that fucked the economy I do a real chuckle. Imagine if Agent Orange and The Lettuce were in power at the same time. 

    14. HefinLlewelyn on

      Nothing to do with that rancid crone having as much economic intelligence as a knob of butter…..

    16. jinstewart on

      Remind me why my tax money is giving her a £120k/yr salary. Complete fucking ACTUAL benefit-scrounging moron and the worst sort of worthless Tory vermin a bilious conservative cancer could excrete over us.

    18. digitalpencil on

      We should really stop writing articles about what Liz Truss thinks. Just let her fade into irrelevancy already.

      “They pursued all of these woke policies, high taxes, high spending, not using their natural resources”

      wtf does woke even mean anymore 😂 she’s definitely just a right wing grifter now, gotta get all the key words in there

      By talking Mark down, she trying to gain favour from the Trump administration.
      I hope they get taken in and ruins their economy, like she did to ours.
      The b i t c h.

      Lol

      I mean, we shouldn’t laugh, I think she actually has genuine mental issues, a narcissist in a more medical sense than most people.

      But it’s just so ridiculous how she can’t accept that her big fuck up was hers.

      Carney must be happy that Liz Truss is unintentionally endorsing him. Would this be considered a campaign contribution under Canadian law?

    23. Mrgray123 on

      I swear if I ever see her in person I’m going to follow her around with a lettuce.

    25. voxo_boxo on

      It’s absolutely astonishing that anybody is listening to what Truss has to say, even the morons at CPAC.
