Liz Truss throws weight behind Donald Trump for US President

The short-serving former prime minister said there ‘must be conservative leadership in the US’ in order to ‘call out hostile regimes as evil and a threat’

mind you, could do with someone fucking up the US like she did the UK.

A lettuce probably has a higher IQ to be fair.

I imagine Truss in the supermarket, picking up a lettuce and having a little moment of melancholy as she drops it into the trolley.

Bet she boils it.
Not because she likes it (no one likes boiled cabbage).
Just out of spite.

As long as she stops hectoring people in the cheese aisle I can live with that

Liz Truss has rewarded Brexiteers and those personally loyal to her with peerages and other awards in her long-awaited resignation honours list.

The former prime minister was reported to have nominated 14 people – one for every three and a half days of her stay in No 10 – but only 11 were approved by the appointments commissioners.

Matthew Elliott, the former chief executive of Vote Leave, and Jon Moynihan, its former chairman, both receive life peerages in the list, submitted by Ms Truss in March.

The list, brief compared with the 45 people honoured by Boris Johnson when he left Downing Street, includes a peerage for Ruth Porter, who was Ms Truss’s deputy chief of staff during her 49-day tenure as Prime Minister.

But the House of Lords appointments commission appears to have blocked a peerage for Mark Littlewood, the outgoing head of the Institute for Economic Affairs, a think tank that had supported her ill-fated mini-Budget last autumn.

Mr Littlewood was reported to have been nominated for a peerage, but his name did not make the final list.

Ms Truss’s close friend Jackie Doyle-Price, the MP for Thurrock who was minister of state for industry for six weeks during her premiership, is made a Dame, as is the novelist Shirley Conran, recognised by the ex-PM for founding the non-profit Maths Anxiety Trust.

Alec Shelbrooke MP, another Truss loyalist who served briefly as a junior defence minister under her, is knighted, while her former special advisers Sophie Jarvis and Shabbir Merali are given CBEs and her former parliamentary private secretaries Robert Butler MP and Suzanne Webb MP receive OBEs.

David Hills, Ms Truss’s Conservative association chairman in her South West Norfolk constituency, received an MBE.

Ms Truss said she was “delighted these champions for the conservative causes of freedom, limited government and a proud and sovereign Britain have been suitably honoured”.

The government has finally published Liz Truss's resignation honours list, by publishing it at 10.30pm on a Friday night, in the hope that nobody would notice. It will feel like an insult to many to see Liz Truss handing out peerages to friends and supporters after her disastrously short stint as prime minister.
This additional batch of peerages means that the former prime minister has sent a new person to the Lords for every 1.5 days she was in office.
They can try and sneak out the list, but Liz Truss's appointments have thrust the squalid process of Lords appointments into the foreground, and in a way unlikely to enhance the upper chamber’s reputation with the public.
Because of these appointments, the whole country can see how Westminster actually works.

That must really get to her - she's been able to give all these people honours and she's not even got one herself . Surprised she didn't sneak her own name onto the list.

Unfortunately we have to look forward to a future rat boy resignation honours featuring Sir 50p Lee no doubt. There is no bottom to this barrel.

I doubt Sunak would risk going near Anderson in case he got dirt on his hand made shoes, he'll be well down the list. Dodgy financier types all the way with him.

They could also give awards to other food. Champignon of Honour, for example.

Until Lord Cameron of Bullingdon turned up recently, to get Sunak out of a bind, none of the recent PMs have gone to the Lords. I think Thatcher was the last one. I suspect Blair thinks the HoL beneath him.

Don't laugh, but Liz Truss has launched a new Tory grouping called...











Popular Conservatives, dubbed the "PopCons" by the media!

Liz Truss has launched a new movement within the Tories, called Popular Conservatism.

At an event in Westminster on Tuesday, she was joined by well-known figures on the right of the party, including her former business secretary Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg and ex-deputy chairman Lee Anderson - with former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage in the audience.

Who are the Popular Conservatives - and how do they compare to other Tory movements?

We look at the new group, led by former prime minister Liz Truss, and the other factions filling the Tory backbenches.
