Says a woman who is probably less trusted in Britain

She’s pathetic, she’s not even newsworthy these days. She’s just a simple salad minus some lettuce.

Oh, Liz… Imagine not understanding the global reach that the BBC gives the UK. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/business-and-finance/2025/01/elon-musks-secret-weapon

She was a raving nut job and all the usual benefits awarded to a former PM should be denied her. GOOD RIDDANCE. 😡

Is she still making pronouncements? 🤷‍♂️

Unspun world (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtvnp) remains a shining beacon

Yes John but the BBC is now not trusted and is seen as a Tory/Reform/Israel propaganda agency. Not sure what the 'Lettuce' has a beef with them over, though.😉

She really is not very clever

ahowley.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good grief! How can someone spout this stuff in all seriousness? I sincerely hope we are not led down the same path as the Americans so that an authoritarian takeover comes here

Off her rocker

wodgerpatterson.bsky.social•16 days ago

She’s a bloody disgrace.

steviecaws.bsky.social•16 days ago

She's off her f****** rocker

She is totally deluded, clueless. No wonder the lettuce lasted longer than her.

I hate when people say "Given..." and then say something that absolutely is not a given at all.

Liz Truss can do one.

derekmacd18.bsky.social•16 days ago

She’s gone even more rogue now, at this rate she will be too right wing for Reform

gambitman.bsky.social•16 days ago

she seems to be making the case for defunding government too...

thegorillarepublic.bsky.social•16 days ago

Less credibility than lettuce.
That says it all really.

lizlinnard.bsky.social•16 days ago

49 days too long.

freefran.bsky.social•16 days ago

...and took another third (the initial being Brexit) of the economy with her🤡

In Vancouver, I watch your show every Saturday on BBC World, John.

BBC is the gold standard of trusted global news brands; it's disturbing to see it attacked by British politicians.
