Liz Truss took aim at the UK elite who ‘hate Britain’ and these Brits’ comebacks were suitably brutal and totally on-point

To the world now of PM for 15 minutes Liz Truss, whose losing battle to stay relevant took her to conservative American pundit Ben Shapiro.

Truss used the interview to take aim at the British elite who she said ‘hate Britain’ and suggested the only thing that could save the country was – you guessed it – a Trump-stule revolution.

Here’s what Truss herself had to say about it.

The elite are trying to suppress the voices of patriots in our country.

To restore Britain, we need a Trump style revolution.

That means building independent media and dismantling the deep state. https://t.co/meXuZIJWh0

And these people were only too happy to help out.

You say the elites hate Britain, but you seem to constantly talk the country down yourself.

Liz Truss is a former Prime Minister, a former leader of the Conservative Party, has been a member of the privy council for more than a decade and has 24 hour protection from the Metropolitan Police. Who precisely does she think “the elite” is if it’s not her? https://t.co/IMPrBtuYJz

Gobbing off, running your country down and showing yourself up. Mad conspiracy theories and people laughing at you. I bet people you’ve known for ages cross the road to avoid you. What a miserable existence. Surely you can find something better to do with your life.

I’m not really a DECLINE kind of guy but honestly I can’t see Jim Callaghan or Anthony Eden spending their time bad mouthing the U.K. for American coin, can you? https://t.co/oGBkQOiV4n

As you’re an American, we know your world view is somewhat clouded, so it’s only fair to let you in on this, @trussliz is seen as nothing more than a ridiculous embarrassment and irrelevant here in the UK.

Truss is an unhinged amoral crank who fled the scene of rational debate long ago, but it’s still horrifying to hear a former prime minister tell anyone bothering to listen that an ‘elite hates Britain’. The only person routinely trashing everything about it, by the way, is her. https://t.co/Gw3aRCfe2d
