Former PM said ‘that’s not funny’ when remote-controlled banner was unfurled behind her at event in Suffolk

Last part of the article with a grain of “nottheonion” vibe :

Truss has become vocal on US politics, last month addressing Republican supporters to learn lessons from her brief time in No 10. She insisted: “I’ve learned how powerful the unelected bureaucracy is. You have to win in November … you have to dismantle the leftist state … they are devious, they are ruthless and they are out to get you.”

The former prime minister has previously criticised the Daily Star’s lettuce joke, insisting it was not “particularly funny”, noting in June: “I just think it’s puerile.”

She went on to criticise the British media, claiming it was “known throughout the world for being particularly vociferous” and it is not “particularly deferential to politicians”.

The banner stunt came shortly after Truss voiced her support for Elon Musk, who has claimed the UK has a two-tier policing system. She said on X: “I am appalled by the attacks on free speech in Britain and Europe. We can’t be truly free without free speech. Good for Elon Musk and X for standing up to these bullies.” Musk responded, thanking her for support.

      She desperately wants to stay relevant, but doesn’t seem to realise her political career is basically dead.

      She literally had her shot at the top job and absolutely, monumentally, historically fucked it.

        Her political career IS dead. She lost her seat, so is no longer an active politician.

        This is all to push her book, which has been widely panned by practically everyone that isn’t a brain-dead moron. I genuinely would love to know how many thick cunts are in that room with her, because they are truly up there with Clacton in being the dumbest people in the country.
