Liz Truss criticised Rachel Reeves’ budget, and the stock value of irony hit a record high – 15 votes of no confidence
Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ spending review on Wednesday has done the thing that nobody wanted – put 50p in the Trussatron.
The shortest-serving Prime Minister of the UK took time out of her busy schedule of trashing the country at right-wing conferences to re-run her ‘my budget was good, actually’ routine.
It was delivered with all the enthusiasm of an office update on the stationery policy.
Labour haven't fixed the foundation of the economy, they have put dynamite underneath it.
Today's announcement is almost 3 times the size of the mini-budget.
But it's in line with Britain's failed high-tax, high-migration, Net Zero consensus – so no outcry.

Facepalms all round. Here’s what Twitter thought of her statement.

Here’s the thing Liz, you fucked up through your arrogance and the wave of sycophancy in the Tory party… then you’re very own TACO moment as Truss chickened out

Oh for Gods sake Liz. Like the drunk that doesn’t know when to go home. Please stop now. Nobody is listening. Your credibility is shot to pieces.

Do shut up, hardly anybody wants to listen to the most discredited politician of the 21st century.

Is this a parody account? Surely the real Liz Truss can’t be this self-unaware?

Liz Truss needs to read the room, it’s embarrassing, just be quiet and blend into the background

Liz Truss has accused Labour of dynamiting the foundations of the national economy. And to be fair, she does have expertise in this area.

Omg imagine being Liz Truss who had the shortest premiership in history, a whole 45 days as PM, who crashed the economy and has the AUDACITY to criticise Labour’s budget. Well at least you get that fat pension aye Liz for doing absolutely fuck all. (Only destroyed the economy).

What was that she said about the mainstream media cosying up to Rachel Reeves?
