Celebrity Liz Truss Piers Morgan takedowns
Piers Morgan accused Liz Truss of ‘stomping off in a sulky strop’ and was owned into next week
As you’ll no doubt know by now, former PM for 15 minutes Liz Truss wasn’t happy when the good people of Led By Donkeys unravelled a banner of a lettuce behind her at a speaking event in Suffolk.

Not only that, Truss later claimed that the stunt was nothing short of ‘far left suppression of free speech’.
What happened last night was not funny. Far-left activists disrupted the event, which then had to be stopped for security reasons.
This is done to intimidate people and suppress free speech. I won't stand for it.
Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?

And it prompted no end of totally on-point replies, the best of which we have round up here.
But there was one in particular that caught our eye, from former breakfast TV host turned YouTuber, Piers Morgan.
Actually, it was very funny, the banner was entirely accurate, and you suppressed your own free speech by stomping off in a sulky strop. https://t.co/wJJWYJzbkI

And he was right about the first bit, obviously. But the line about ‘stomping off in a sulky strop’ really caught people’s attention, for reasons which might already be obvious.
But just in case it’s not, basically the entire internet was on hand to help.

Piers is like that thick step dad with a loud mouth but a total hypocrite
