Liz Truss praised Elon Musk for standing up to British attacks on free speech and got owned into next year – 16 best reactions
We have absolutely no doubt that Liz Truss would have been running to be the leader of the Conservatives if she hadn’t publicly and humiliatingly lost her seat in Parliament.
Instead she’s become a useful idiot for the likes of Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage, as she travels around promoting her book of conspiracy theories and echoing the tropes of the Far Right on any stage that will have her.

Accordingly, she has fallen into step with Elon Musk, who has spent the last week spreading inflammatory nonsense about the UK – predicting civil war, sharing fake headlines about Keir Starmer’s plans for the rioters, and whipping up a frenzy against any attempt to prosecute the rioters.
Here’s how she interpreted all that.
She was recently at the Edinburgh Fringe, but we had no idea she was a comedian.
People had thoughts.

You’re mixing up free speech with breaking the law by inciting violence. Free speech is more along the lines of me saying ‘you are a brainless dimwit who shouldn’t have been put in charge of a chip shop, never mind a fucking country’.

Liz
You speak wisely
Elton Husk comes across as a sensitive & caring man who speaks with rationality.
Just like you did when you blamed trans activist civil servants for your sad demise.
Let him interview you
You could trickle down.
You could be our Katie Price & Andrew Teat.
