Liz Truss has announced her own online show. The ex-prime minister is already receiving criticism
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced a show bearing her name that will “tell the truth.” On Platform X, she wrote: “They tried to silence her. They failed.”
The Green politician Ricarda Lang responded with clear words in a comment. “You were prime minister. You weren’t silenced. You were just bad at your job,” she wrote.
Truss moved into 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister on September 6, 2022 and left the official residence on October 25 after just 49 days. She had introduced tax cuts that led to a financial crisis. Her finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, resigned and his successor, Jeremy Hunt, backtracked on the measures – thereby weakening Truss. She lost the support of conservative MPs and eventually tendered her resignation. It was the shortest time in office for a British head of government.
She sees no fault of her own for the financial crisis, she said in the video on X. She blamed the “Deep State” for wanting to destroy it. It uses conspiracy theories according to which influential people and secret services are trying to take power in Western countries. She had made similar statements before.
“Now I’m back,” she said. “I will expose the people who brought me down.” She wants to bring to light the truth about what is happening in Britain and the West. “Tune in to the Liz Truss show. Tune in to the counter-revolution,” she said at the end of the video.
Pictures of a lettuce were shared several times in the comments. “No one tried to silence her, they just compared her to a rotten head of lettuce,” one commenter wrote. The salad was a symbol of Truss’ political mistakes during her time in office. On October 20, 2022, the British “Daily Mail” placed a salad next to her portrait and asked who would last longer. The salad won.
