    No that was super funny. Crashing the UK economy seemingly overnight all in a bid to save the richest people in the country a few bucks? Now that’s not funny

      She was certainly efficient in her destruction

    Thanks Liz. We had almost forgotten that but now you’ve jogged our memories on how funny that was.

    It was, in fact, hilarious.

    Yet more evidence that Liz is always wrong.

    “I don’t think it was particularly funny"

    Then why am I laughing so hard?

    “I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile.”

    She’s half right. Truth is, it was very much both.

      I yes, in general. But she’s also wrong here

    Correction: It wouldn’t have been funny if Truss had outlasted the lettuce. So she could have made it not funny, but she just chose to suck.

    I personally found it hilarious, and my absolute best memory of her premiership.

      The longest serving English monarch died while the shortest serving PM was in office. That sticks out for me.

    She’s just mad that the lettuce lasted longer than she did.
