You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy

Oh I forgot.. Lizzy Truss crashed the economy
The reaction us not different from the economy. The markets, associated institutions and metrics are the economy (which is just a measure of such things). She caused the reaction which was to go into a crash mode.
Indeed, the economy is moved by the reactions of markets, institutions and metrics, but she had yet to implement the measures she planned to enact through the mini budget.
Markets work on future predictions. They don't wait to see what works. She and her team knew that, so she is responsible for trashing the economy. Whether you think her ideas would have worked or not. The job includes managing expectations and communications
But we’re talking about her. Which I suspect is all she wanted? Like for Boris, irrelevance is a bitter pill. That said, she’s very relevant in our mortgage. She should take heart. Her legacy is safe.
The Tories have been trying to blame Labour for the weak state of the economy. All that Truss has now done is to focus attention on her role in leaving the economy in the weak state which it is now.
And to think she was our Prime Minister! Surely alarm bells should have been ringing when she was so outraged by cheese imports when France, Germany and Italy are all on our doorstep.
Wait, doesn’t parliamentary privilege mean that even if she wins in the courts, Starmer can keep saying these true things about her in the Commons (on camera)?
But she hasn’t sued Anthony Seldon for his book “Truss at 10, How Not To Be Prime Minister” and that’s been out for ages. Why pick on Starmer, the book is much more detailed?
I note most rags state it is a “claim she crashed the economy” rather than an implicit statement.
An attempt to move its Overton window from hard fact maybe?
I said when it came down to the last two, the result depended on whether there were more racists than misogynists in the party.
I guess the racists won
She truly is as thick as mince, isn't she. A long time ago, she used to get by on her prettiness. Then she had an affair with that tory slob who manhandled that protester. Now she just another hawkish tory truth denier. Pathetic trollop.
It’s the presenter and her face when she repeatedly says lettuce that makes it even funnier… and the fact that Truss hates it almost as much when the lettuce gets mentioned 🤣
The Streisand effect. I’d like to rename it the Truss effect, but that would be better attached to something about being completely out of one’s depth, cocking up everything immediately and then going fucking tonto.
I'd sort of forgotten truss existed and so also wasn't much thinking about how she crashed the economy. however, thanks to her timely intervention I'm back thinking about who was to blame for crashing the economy during her shortest tenure as dreadful prime minister. ta liz being sh&t as ever..
Maybe Keir should stop paying her..... and all the former Prime Ministers who get £100,000+ for life after pissing off. Introduced by John Major, not long before he retired. I mean why?!
I mean she got into power, crashed the economy and got kicked out. If I was Starmer I would say bring it on and go to court, wouldn't even have to pay for lawyer. I'd also have a lettuce on my table and snack off it until the final verdict.
Her ability to point her own finger at herself to highlight her total failure as an elected public servant, is indeed only matched by her lack of self awareness.
You only need to revisit her 1994 LibDem speech to see what a needy, seeking approval individual she is.
It’s mind blowing that such a deranged person should ever have become pm. As a nation we should hold our heads in shame, especially those who voted for her in both a national election and Tory internal elections. And yes after what she did to the country I DO begrudge paying for her lifetime pension
It's outrageous to suggest that Truss crashed the economy. She did her best to do so, but the economy was pulled back from the brink by the Conservatives defenestrating her
She should have just faded away into history but she has brought it back into everyone’s view even before we had forgotten it, what a joke of a woman… maybe politics isn’t for her
Parliamentary privilege only covers things said in Parliament though, MPs don't get immunity from defamation claims for things they say or write outside Parliament
I think that’s her intention. It’s her new career as an ironist and comedian. In effect, her ‘cease and desist’ letter to Starmer is a ‘continue and persist’ letter to everyone else, instructing us in no uncertain terms to carry on talking about her disastrous premiership and laughing at her
Some of us had to suffer her as our MP for too many years.
Thankfully now ousted.
But we really would like to forget about her.
Yes I know I have been commenting and posting all day. But time to draw a line.
taking on an eminent lawyer with a letter that doesn't so much as mention the consequences of not 'ceasing and desisting'. looks as if her lawyers aren't that confident!
Clause 231 - the ‘War Guilt’ clause of the Treaty of Versailles. The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Liz Truss accepts that she was responsible for…..
Wonder what else we can pin on the lettuce?
Apart from the absurdity of that statement, she appears to be currently alligned to a huge and orchestrated attack on anyone and anything that doesn't worship Musk, Alf Garnett, Vlad the Impaler, Tate, Robinson, Ghengis Khan, Trump, Lord Haw Haw, & numerous others from the "Despots R Us" emporium
A fully paid-up narcissistic clown proves to her own lawyers and the lawyer she is addressing that her grip on provable reality is scant. It’s an efficient manoeuvre.

Or is this a way of getting back in the news on a “there’s no such thing as bad attention” gambit….
Hard to tell…
She's getting paid to talk, and she needs to keep her name in the papers.
Obviously, the papers are more than happy to oblige.

Just like a toddler. Like Trump. Any attention is good and welcome.
FFS.

Who made a terrible fuss
Her successor called Keir
Pointed out to great cheer
She threw the economy under a bus
I'm amazed she doesn't need an assistant saying "breathe in, breathe out"..
Now I realise she must be properly deranged.
Any denser she’d bend light
Somehow, I think a former DPP will be laughing his arse off.
To be fair, we all need a bit of levity at the moment.
“Does Truss know I was a barrister, and a good one? Sorry, she probably thinks that means I made coffee.”
😂 😂

How?
But she never should have even been that close.
I guess the racists won

She really is very stupid 😀
You only need to revisit her 1994 LibDem speech to see what a needy, seeking approval individual she is.
Is she a little stupid or a lot stupid?
What do you think 😂
Can't.
Cure.
Stupid.
Smart.
Hope they keep reminding her.

Dear Liz,
Wind your neck in you fucking traitor.
Sincerely
Keir Starmer PM.
We also need to ask who is funding her in this and trying to undermine our democracy.
A nasty man is being mean to me. Please write me a lawyery looking letter telling him to thease & dethist...
(as I said in another thread)
Thankfully now ousted.

Surely her Tufton Street puppeteers realise she’s the Marie Celeste of UK Politics.
The lights are on but there’s no crew manning the rudder!
