Is Liz Truss hiding?

I totally appreciate there's a lot of work to do behind the scenes, but I haven't seen or heard anything of Liz Truss in the news the last few days - please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm interested in what else she's working on/looking into. At least we'd have had Boris blustering his way through the current economical problem in front of the camera.

Liz Truss's government would have caused the pension companies to go bust this afternoon if the Bank of England hadn't stepped in to save us from our own government and she hasn't said a flipping dickie bird.

She's looking for Sid

JanglyBeads · 28/09/2022 22:10

Have just readon Twitter a Westminster correspondent quoting a Tory spin doctor literally saying they can't find her!

Kwarteng will have to be booted. Liz thinks she can hide and disassociate from this little ‘fiscal event’ and her involvement will be forgotten when they have to U turn. The BBC news is all scary looking charts with photos of Kwarteng’s face all over.

How she got Prime Minister and not Rishi is beyond me. Does anyone seriously trust anything this government says anymore? We need a GE and quick.

I said this too about Rishi. Far more competent.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 28/09/2022 22:14

The BBC news is saying she is sticking with the budget. They’ve just said it now🤯

Maybe she has been locked in a cupboard to stop her from saying anything that could make things worse. Not sure how but I think she could manage that..

She's probably in a room somewhere and unable to figure out where the door is.

howshouldibehave · 28/09/2022 22:15

She is so deeply unpopular with the people; I wonder if she will face booing wherever she goes?

Hopefully poor people have eaten her.

I can’t stop laughing at this, even though it feels very sad!

lljkk · 28/09/2022 22:20

Pippa Crerar tweeted this evening that Truss will be all over the radio & TV doing interviews tomorrow. Be careful what U wish for.

HairyToity · 28/09/2022 22:27

I think she's keeping a low profile so that she can blame the budget on Kwarteng, and then put the proposals on hold till they have done a full Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) Review. Then Kwarteng will resign and be the fall guy.

She will not win an election.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 28/09/2022 22:29

Me and DH were wondering this earlier. Where the F is she?

She has caused this tax cut/interest rate clusterfuck, and she's nowhere to be seen. Hmm

flingingmelon · 28/09/2022 22:29

Honestly - she's busy fixing everything remember?

In real life isn't it just cos there's no PMQs cos of the Labour conference?

Moonlightdust · 28/09/2022 22:31

At this rate there’s going to be a B.B.B campaign. (Bring Boris back)😂

ifonly4 · 28/09/2022 17:06

At least we were told Boris is on holiday. Either she's keeping a very low profile or press have been told not to report on her!

I see Rishi Sunak won't be attending the Party Conference. Interesting to know why - if I were him I couldn't continue to support the government right now.

He apparently said (before this complete clusterfuck) that he wouldn't be attending conference "to let Liz Truss have her moment"...

RaRaRaspoutine · 28/09/2022 16:06

She's in a pork coma, having eaten five pepperamis in a row

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I never ever in a million years thought I'd say this...

But Bring Back Boris would be preferable over Liz Tank The Economy Truss....

Right I need a bath now after thinking/saying that as I feel "unclean" 🤮

underneaththeash · 28/09/2022 22:35

reported - stop

Cece92 · 28/09/2022 22:42

I don't know who's worse her or Boris. When she came in as PM I was listening to the radio. I'm in central Scotland so it's local radio and a guy with a thick Glasgow accent from paisley area came on and said ' aye I went tae school with Liz. We wur brought up in a really skint area, she needs tae mind where she came fae and dae something to help the country and people out of poverty, she's a paisley lassie through and through'

I cannot even listen to the joke of a government right now. Theresa, boris and Liz like what have the UK done to deserve this 😂😂

Morehousework · 28/09/2022 22:46

She’s cost us £500 billion . Not bad in such a short time.

goingback · 28/09/2022 22:47

looking at wallpaper samples for their new digs, and probably not testing out the beds in No.10 and 11 as i heard earlier.

My guess is, she daren't leave the toilet, and just calls one her aides to bring to more toilet paper every 20 mintes. 💩

This has the ring of truth

Hint to President Zelenskyy. If anyone called "Liz" or "Kwasi" calls offering financial tips, give them Putin's number. Then change yours.

paintitallover · 28/09/2022 22:52

She's done it to subsidise the energy companies and also to give money to the richest, which is even worse. That's the most shocking part. It's not just the incompetence, it's the callousness.

Unfortunate turn of phrase there... Envy
