echodot,

Ms Truss was speaking ahead of the publication of her book - her account of her time in Number 10.

More a pamphlet really.

ShadowRam,

How to care for lettuce.

Superfool,

Is this a reference to something. I foofled it but no light was shed.

From the context I presume it is a way of saying it’s a book no one would read, but is there more to it?

hitmyspot,

A newspaper had a webcam on a fresh head of lettuce. They wondered which would last longer. The lettuce or Liz Truss as PM. The lettuce won.

Superfool,

Ha Thank you very much.

The ‘world was safer’ argument is an especially bizarre one to make this week, of all weeks, when the Middle East is ‘on the cusp’ of a wider conflict that was partly caused by Donald Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from a treaty with Iran. And Trump also inflamed tensions in that same region by moving the US’ Israeli Embassy to Jersualem. As to conflict in ‘the West’ specifically, he also endorsed and continues to endorse the very people pushing the West towards conflict, and himself caused violent conflict in the US, which was part of ‘the West’ last time I checked.

DdCno1,

Not just the withdrawal, but also the assassination of a Revolutionary Guards general, which Iran themselves said was why they staged October 7 as an act of revenge.

Don't forget about freeing the 5000+ ISIS fighters & handing Afghanistan back over to them.

There are just so many counter examples! I honestly cannot think of a major political figure who’s made such an utterly bizarre argument.

Parellius,

Of course she does. How was this woman ever Prime Minister? Even for a moment?

Liz who?

maynarkh,

Who does the cabbage endorse?

Parellius,

Even the cabbage knows better…

hellothere,

Lettuce.

anaesidemus,

I think he’s gonna win too but no need to endorse him still

reagansrottencorpse,

Sunik seems just as bad if not worse. Can any Brits elaborate on what it’s like under him?

echodot,

Truss was damaging the economy. This one’s just utterly useless and keeps putting his foot in it. But he hasn’t crashed the economy so that’s a plus.

But he just bows down to the hard right, so even if he himself isn’t hard right. So he is still pretty awful.

There is a reason no one likes him. He’s completely useless so both the right and the left get irritated by him.

then_three_more,

It’s just clock watching to be honest, waiting for him to call the election.

Biden’s winning now

Colour_me_triggered,

For sure. An endorsement by lady lettuce is a nail in any coffin.

FYI Mz Truss, the Head Of Lettuce endorsed Biden. And Mr Lettuce lasted longer than you. Your "best by" date has passed!

She’s just a footnote. At best.

FMT99,

I doubt anyone in the us has any idea who she is. Especially Trump followers

Many of us pay attention to world events. And I was cheering on the Lettuce!

Dippy,

And a god tier trivia question in 20 years. Who was prime Minister when the queen died?

ThePyroPython,

Yeah she’s one for the pub quiz.

About the only use she is, aside from discrediting any policy suggestions that come out of the Institute for Economic Affairs (i.e. the Tuffton Street Twats).

@FatLegTed@feddit.uk avatar

That or which ‘Prime Minister was outlasted by a lettuce?’

egonallanon,

I just love she took the record of shortest serving prime minister from a guy who was already had the pneumonia that would kill him when he took office.

then_three_more,

She’s a pub quiz answer.

Considering how her month long stint as PM went, I fully welcome her endorsement of Trump
