Liz Truss joked about her premiership and there’s no greater example of failing to read the room

Liz Truss has been out and about again, a year after her blink and you’ll miss it tenure in 10 Downing Street.

And we were doing a bit more blinking today after she made a joke about her time as PM and if there’s a greater example of someone failing to read the room, then we’d like to see it.

Liz Truss, there, discovering the difference between ‘laughing’ and ‘laughing stock’.

And here are just a few of the things people said in response to what Truss had to say today.

1.

Mate, you blew a £50 billion hole in the UK’s finances in just 50 days, burning public money with criminal negligence. As a more respected politician than you, I believe I have a mandate from the British people when I say, FUCK OFF LIZ TRUSS. pic.twitter.com/zXcf5Wa6ko

Here’s Liz “Pork Markets” Truss having a good laugh at the misery she inflicted on millions of ordinary people in the UK. What a nerve she’s got. Clueless. Tin-eared. Tone deaf. And the delivery of a warped piano. pic.twitter.com/COKgd1xJNL

I hope she's getting paid well by Labour for this, because she's worth every penny. https://t.co/TS9NqzaYVX

Oh, God.

It’s so unbearably painful to watch.

Isn’t there some sort of vaccine I could take to not feel the pain?

As somebody in the process of selling my house and buying a house abroad relying on the GBP/USD exchange rate, I have to say I find all this slightly less funny than Liz does. https://t.co/gxB3uH7152

Utterly shameless

This is a genuine tweet from the previous Tory Prime Minister, a year from a general election, when her party is 25 points down in the polls. The Conservatives are simply not a serious political party any more. https://t.co/ADD6Hn2ir8

Someone should tell Liz Truss that these speeches aren't helping. If someone drove a truck into my house, I wouldn't really want that person on the news giving a speech on how the truck was to blame.

It’s very easy to laugh at Liz Truss

Liz Truss giving advice on how to run the economy is like the ghost of the captain of the Titanic returning to give advice on iceberg avoidance

Asking Liz Truss for her economic vision to enable faster economic growth is like asking Fred West for advice on how to raise a stable and secure family.

This is absolutely fucking insane.
