The Liz Truss cosplay train rolled into town – 11 favourite funny responses
Before she fully committed to being Cosplay Thatcher, Liz Truss was a lot more involved in dressing up as someone with a useful job.
In 2021, as International Trade Secretary, she visited Derbyshire train-maker Alstom Derby, where she went full Mr. Benn – sadly not Tony or Hilary.
We can’t say why the photo resurfaced, but we’re glad it did – because it gave us these funny takes.

Well, I would say this – I've been working here for 12 years. In 2016, no one died. In 2017, no one died. In 2018, there was the incident with the pigeon. In 2019 no one died. In 2020, 100,000 people died. In 2021 another 100,000 died. In 2022 no one died. I could go on. pic.twitter.com/Sgl4oIKVEN

Why do politicians persist with this dressing up bollocks?
Does anyone actually think she knows what any of that does?
And in what way would it help her run the country if she did? pic.twitter.com/qJGUtitrY3
