  1. Conservatives depend on having an uninformed population in order to have any chance in an election.

    Truss as a guest speaker really does not speak to the strength of the conservative base. She embodies a legacy of political failure.

  3. Someone has forgotten that it’s wasn’t state media that started the lettuce joke. I guess state media is easier to punch down on.

  4. In July she lost her seat of South West Norfolk at the general election. Her party had previously held the seat for 60 years……………..hahahahahaha

  5. Same story in Canada as Conservatives have promised to defund Canada’s CBC. Because facts are biased.

    LOL what is it with the right wingers are rolling out these losers all the time?

  7. I’m more interested in what the head of lettuce has to say on international politics.

  8. Lettuce not judge too harshly, this may just be the tip of the iceberg and she will rocket to prominence again.

    The only people I think are less qualified than Liz Truss, who got beaten by a lettuce, are people who paid to listen to her advice.

    Being serious here. Both Labor and the Libs are seeming hell bent or destroying basic freedoms. It’s crazy to think that One Nation appear to now be the most center party.

    Liz Truss can fuck off back to the UK. Seriously, has she come all this way because she can’t go anywhere in the UK without being laughed at? A LETTUCE outlasted her term…

  11. Correct me if I’m wrong but is this not the uk Sheila that caused the UK RBA to spend hundreds of billions to shore up the pound?

    Yeah, the ABC is insane. It’s not left, it’s insane. Never has there been a more extremely radical ABC, ever. I can’t remember it in my time of living. I don’t want to pay my tax dollars for what they are doing. It’s beyond a joke. People used to have serious debates around whether the ABC was leftwing or not. It’s now a matter of “just how leftwing are they”. So it’s already in error. Or is it not?

    Pretty pointless thing to urge considering conservatives already consider ABC to be leftist propaganda, despite it being more centrist clickbait than ever. Especially considering how much her BBC has gone in to bat for conservatives more than it ever has over the last decade.

  14. Imagine coming all this way to tell the conservatives to do what has been on their hit list for 3,000 lettuce lives anyway
