Politics budget comebacks Liz Truss
Liz Truss got her Budget trolling in early and of all the A++ comebacks this one beat all-comers
She’s no longer PM, she’s no longer in the ruling party, and she’s no longer even an MP, having been unceremoniously turfed out at the last election.
But that hasn’t stopped Liz Truss popping up at every opportunity like a Whac-a-Mole but with less self-awareness.
And today she was giving her verdict ahead of Rachel Reeves’ keenly feared, sorry, keenly anticipated first Labour budget for 15 years.
On Talk TV, naturally.
Former prime minister Liz Truss fears that “this is just the start of the pain” ahead of the Labour Government budget, which is expected to see rising taxes in Britain.

And the former PM for 15 minutes got all the mockery she deserved and more. No, actually make that just all the mockery she deserved.

Lettuce know when you’ve found any sort of self-awareness at all, please, Liz – you seem to still be missing even a shred. https://t.co/q3gQmVca4K
