Entertainment Liz Truss pointless

Richard Osman spotted this hilarious shade thrown at Liz Truss by a Pointless question, and it’s brutal

Richard Osman may not co-present the non-celebrity version of Pointless these days, but we’re glad he still watches it, because he was able to share this very funny question involving Liz Truss.

Fewer than half of British people can name the 2022 British PM with a 5-letter surname starting with T. Politics can be more brutal than showbusiness sometimes.

That’s not even one person for each day she was in office – which says a lot.

The other 55 were probably having a nap while she was PM.

I think most of us have actually made an effort to scrub her existence from our memories.

She's probably better off if people don't remember to be honest.

Coincidentally, her term in office was fecking pointless

Not convinced they (as in we) really see that person as PM

It was 2022 that threw me. It feels like it was only last year.

Twerp?

15.

To be fair, we had very little exposure to her.

There was another possibility –

Maybe it's because they confuse her with a lettuce, which has seven letters.
