Liz Truss is fighting the ‘battle of ideas’ alongside Ted Cruz and it’s a marriage made in Twitter mockery heaven
As part of her continued efforts to convince the world that her fiscal policies wouldn’t have crashed the economy if they’d just been allowed to run for longer, Liz Truss has been popping up on any right-wing forum that will have her.
It turns out that one of the right-wing spaces prepared to tolerate the (briefly) former PM is the home of Ted and Heidi Cruz.
If the man who fled to Cancun while his fellow Texans froze in a storm and the worst runner-up to an iceberg since the Titanic have any fighting to do in the battle of ideas, let’s hope it leads to a What Not to Do handbook.
Tweeters had plenty of thoughts to share.

Liz is a long way from the Lib Dems now. What a journey!
However, for her own safety, she shouldn't even be allowed in the same room as an idea. https://t.co/CCFrxvyNF3

Ted Cruz voted to overturn the 2020 US Presidential Election and hand Donald Trump another term in office, despite the American people electing Joe Biden.
No former British PM, even one who was only PM for 10 seconds, should associate with an enemy of democracy like @tedcruz. https://t.co/W2LfSpcgOR

Out of touch, universally despised and an embarrassment to the electorate.
You folks have so much in common. https://t.co/FD8yhBqKCT— @[email protected] (@gdimelow) October 15, 2023

In the battle of Ideas, Liz Truss is not so much a major general, more a field kitchen potato peeler https://t.co/rh7dT50Nwp

The Truss visit could be good news for the Democrats.
If Liz Truss is giving Ted Cruz pointers on winning battles 2024 is going to be a lot easier than I thought it would be https://t.co/u9RyCNqCkM
