‘Lettuce’ Liz Truss mocked as she launches new ‘anti-deep state’ YouTube present
‘Lettuce’ Liz Truss has launched an online show to tackle the ‘deep state’ she claims conspired to boot her out of power — but viewers aren’t happy
“Lettuce” Liz Truss is launching an online show to tackle the “deep state” she says is to blame for her being booted out of power. Britain’s shortest-serving PM, 50, is launching a YouTube series titled The Liz Truss Show.
She vowed will be one of the last bastions in the defence of Western civilisation. Liz reckons the series will be a “counter-revolution” aimed at taking down the “deep state”.
In a trailer for the show, which launched on Friday (December 5), she said: “In 2022 I was deposed from the office of Prime Minster of Great Britain. I tried to save our country from the doomloop it is now in.”
And despite tanking the UK’s finances with her disastrous 2022 mini-budget, Truss still refuses to take responsibility for the epic blunder. She also rambles in her trailer: “I was blamed for a market crisis that was not my fault.
“The deep state and their allies in the media and politics tried to destroy me because I challenged their decades-long failure.” She signs off with: “Now I’m back; I will expose the people who brought me down — I will take on the deep state.
“I will take the truth about what is happening in our country and across the west. Tune in to the counter revolution.”
Truss lasted only seven weeks as PM before she was ousted by her Tory MPs in 2022, and has regularly been forced to deny being Britain’s worst leader. Her grip on power was so fleeting she failed to make her stint in Downing Street last longer than it took for the Daily Star’s lettuce to go off.
Our video of our decomposing veg rotting as she clung on to her job went viral when it outlasted the PM. Her YouTube series launch has sparked a flood of mockery online — much of it using our lettuce to mock Liz.
One online user replaced her head with one of the vegetables. Another branded her show Lettuce Talk With Liz.
And yet another critic joked online: “Nobody tried to silence you Elizabeth they just realised you have nothing of value to say. A podcast is perfect for you.”
One critic said online: “You left both society and economy in a deep state, which is where your confusion may lie. ”
The launch comes after it emerged Truss is trying to set up a private members’ club with a £500,000 joining fee. One columnist said her YouTube show is “based on a fairy tale”, while other critics said the biggest mystery Truss’ series should tackle is who will want to watch it.
Truss recently blamed a corporate “Blob” for laying waste to Britain’s economy. She added the mass was not only made up of officials at the Bank of England, Treasury and the Office for Budget Responsibility.
The failed PM also blamed opinion-formers for her disastrous run in Downing Street. She said: “I think the Blob describes something wider than just the government.
“It’s a groupthink shared by senior media executives, senior corporate executives and civil servants: ‘Wouldn’t it be better if experts and technocrats were running everything?’… that’s a whole shared belief system. Big spending, big government, big taxes, big immigration.”
Truss’ mini-budget in September 2022 was so catastrophic it spooked financial markets. It also pushed up the cost of government borrowing as it introduced huge tax cuts off the back of plans to spend up to £150billion subsidising consumer energy bills in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
