I don't think that picture is real, no way that line of coke would be unsnorted with Liz and KK around.
The piece of Laughing Cow cheese on the left side of Binners' photo made me howl 🤣

Antisemitic false Rothschild quote cut from Liz Truss memoir

I particularly liked:
Ms Truss's spokesman said she had not "meant" to cause offence.
I reckon not causing offence goes to the very heart of her being.
I also liked:
A source close to Ms Truss said: "Liz came across the quote and thought it a useful way of illustrating a point about the Bank of England.
Numerous online sources have stated that it was attributed to Rothschild, so she simply attributed it thus. Clearly nothing more was meant of it."
So she can't be arsed to do proper research for her own book, or pay someone to do it. I guess that fits in with the ineptitude of Britain's shortest ever serving prime minister.
And I was fascinated by this:
Biteback Publishing says it will remove the quote from all future editions.
There are going to be "future editions"? How many are they expecting to sell???
I’ve just watched the Peston interview with her
Lizzies fantasy world: “we were blindsided”
Reality: we ignored absolutely everyone’s advice who all told us that what we were doing was completely insane, did it anyway, then were shocked when it all played out exactly as they all said it would
Madder than a bucket of spiders!
How the hell did this utter jellyhead end up as PM?
"Antisemitic false Rothschild quote cut from Liz Truss memoir"
To be fair, I don't think Liz Truss would ever have read an anti-Semitic fake quote and let it stay in her memoir.
I reckon not causing offence goes to the very heart of her being.
Yeah. She didn't write that all on her own.
"I want to repeal the equalities act, because I want a meritocracy"
"We should stop worrying about how many people get a slice of the pie. We need to grow the pie so that more people can benefit".
For all intents and purposes, The part of Truss's mind that has any comprehension of human values atrophied when she clubbed together with noted humanists Kwarteng, Raab, Skdimore and Patel to lend their names to Britannia Unchained

To be fair, I don’t think Liz Truss would ever, anything.

Another way of saying a rising tide lifts all boats. May be true to a certain extent in theory but in reality the rich benefit from the bigger pie and the poor carry on as they were or become even worse off due to policy decision that have nothing to do with the size of the pie.
Could ask her why her saved west would be any different based on the fact she is a **** and all the people with her are ****s.

The odd thing is what it says is basically what the tufton street lot are dreaming off. All the power in the hands of a few private individuals with the state and everyone else having no choice but to meet their demands.
Another way of saying a rising tide lifts all boats.
Its quite telling that they arent the same. The tide specifically includes everyone whereas her version says its okay to exclude people.
It looks to be a knock off of an economics idea but she has missed the point that that one is about rather than having the different interested parties (say shareholders and employees) fighting each other to get a bigger piece of the current pie if they work together then they can grow the pie and both end up with more.
The damning indictments pile up...
The odd thing is what it says is basically what the tufton street lot are dreaming off.
I think it’s a mistake to imagine that the Tufton Street “think tanks” have any sort of vision at all. Instead they are paid to come up with some sort of pseudo-intellectual framework to justify their paymasters ideology. Hence their reluctance to reveal the sources of their funding.
Warning - truss interview on sky news Sunday 8.30am; go to church, go for a walk, have a lie-in, do whatever it takes to avoid the talking lettuce.
It's worth watching Have I Got News For You from Friday 19th April on iPlayer, they absolutely went to town on the whole Truss thing.
I think it’s a mistake to imagine that the Tufton Street “think tanks” have any sort of vision at all.
I think some of them do but fair point. It was mostly those who were handing them the cash that I was thinking off.
Whilst I dont think most dream of achieving that fake quote I do think most look back to the good old times before the black death (in western Europe and later in Eastern) where the peasants could be kept in their place providing cash to their overlords.
Hopefully an epitaph for this shameful excuse for a human being but here’s hoping she’s too toxic and vacuous for any further exposure to the public…
Bye ??
So her seat was lost to Labour, Johnson’s old seat went to Labour ( just), May’s old seat went to Liberal Democrat. Another fact that my brother told me was that there are now no Tory mp’s in Oxfordshire which he thinks is first since the 1770’s. Quite astonishing
I almost feel sorry for her.
(I bloody don't. 😀 )

Listen to what she says about the poster in this video of it! Hahahaha!
https://twitter.com/ByDonkeys/status/1823481596185616717
Thats brilliant
Grace under fire, what a leader
Led by Donkeys still on form, brilliant!
And people both pay for this crap 'discussion' and listen to it?
At what point could anyone think she's the leader this country needs? I can see how Cameron, May and Johnson had an appeal to an element of the party/country, but she has no redeeming features. At all.
What I really like about that video is when she makes a point at the beginning and there is the sounds of literally about five people clapping, because that is all that were there.
Who told her to wear green! 🙂
"That is not funny".
Much like Tory policy on the economy, immigration, Brexit, education, the NHS and, well everything, we'll have to agree to disagree, Liz.
Did they somehow time it so it appeared just as she was saying, 'It's the economy stupid.'
That is most excellent, the green dress,her weak voice and the way it echoes around what sounds to be an almost empty room.
The only fly in the ointment is watching it on a platform owned by the world's biggest roaster. 🙁
That's beautiful. So much more effective that getting all shouty. Do you think she'll go away if humiliated enough - somehow I doubt it.
To be mildly serious for a moment - if you had the remotest interest in knocking off an ex prime minister (and I'm not sure quite why you'd want to bother in her case), if you can hide that within feet of where you know she's going to sit, you could have hidden a bomb too. Do ex pms, even bloody useless ones, get post job security for life?
Edited to add. And the interviewer on stage with her. Dressed for the occasion. And got his hands in his pockets whilst sitting down, which is pretty impressive.....unless it was him with the remote control and was in on it.
Everything about that sums up Lizzie's place in the world. Her 'event' in what looks like a church hall, an audience in single figures and once again upstaged by a lettuce
Beautiful!
She can't even string a sentence together! She starts talking, pauses a bit, goes off on a tangent, forgets where she was or what she was talking about (as well as quite possibly "who she is" and "what she is doing there") and just sort of fades out with a few words unrelated to anything previously.
Her stream-of-consciousness drivel is like a combination of Donald Trump and a small child going "Mummy, look a sheep... I want crisps, mummy... why is that lady fat... and can we go to the moon tomorrow mummy?"
Thought she had an "answer" to her critics on the economy. What an opportunity to tell the basketball team in the hall about how looting a nation would boost growth and..... (rest of BS here). That is not just ideologically obscene, but an example of an unprofessional, rubbish, very poor politician.
Any party who thought she was an acceptable leadership candidate should disband itself.
Considering she pretty much crashed the UK economy to give Kwasi's mates a one-way bet, I don't really care what she thinks.
I wish she'd just go away. But there's no possibility of that given her colossal arrogance. So stuff like this will keep happening.
But there’s no possibility of that given her colossal arrogance.
So long as there's a cadre of dodgy tax and regulation-averse billionaires happy to throw money at anyone happy to sell the 'Small government, low taxes, no regulation', anarcho capitalist message to the public there will be a conga line of grifters and chancers queuing up to cash in.
The trouble is Truss is so utterly discredited as a messenger that not even the Peter Thiels, Robert Mercers, Chris Chandlers, Crispin Odeys and Koch Brothers of this world think she's worth the expenditure.
It's just a bit embarrassing that such a forlorn figure was ever our PM.

Back in October 2022 I was at a wedding of some close friends, and overheard some of the guests (who it must be said, were of the older generation from me and I'm hardly young being an older millennial myself) saying things like 'I think she's doing a pretty good job'. I didn't interject because a) wedding and b) I had a 2 month old baby strapped to me that I was hoping would stay asleep but it really drove home how even though on the outside they look like reasonable people who are friends/relatives of people with similar values to me, in some ways we could not be more different.

Yeah I've got a friend like that, you couldn't of had a more cosmopolitan guest list at his wedding, people coming or sending messages from all over the world and all sections of society, but he's still an avid Ukip, Brexit & Reform supporting Scot living in southern england ?
True. I once had a cab ride to Heathrow from a Polish driver that had been in the UK since he left (very quickly as it turned out) when the Soviets were clamping down heavily on the Solidarity movement. The guy was very UKIP and anti-immigrant, mainly because he thought that the new generation arriving just did not contribute anything to society.
I was, well, a bit shocked.
Hahaha that's great!
Agree with the comment above about the host. -slouching, hands in pockets, looks like he'd rather be watching telly, really disinterested vibe ?
Does anyone know the man who comes in behind Lizzie and says 'whats that?'
Is it her Husband/supporter/agent?
I think its her carer
Have you been telling everyone you were prime minister again? Let’s get you your medication…
