Liz Truss lost her seat because voters moved right, not because they thought Labour was a better option.
Let’s celebrate today, but from tomorrow onwards, we need to address the far right lunatics head on.
That last line can be applied to anywhere in the world.
Unfrotunately. Global climate change, and the inevitable economic crisis this is causing, is fertile breeding ground for populist right wing politicians promising illusory simple solutions of hate.
While that’s true, the climate crisis is underpinned by decades of centrist policy which has let corporations delay and evade climate action while reaping economic gains that didn’t reach the vast majority of people, at the expense of the vast majority of people who already pay for these externalities and are due to pay way more. So I’m afraid that centrism cannot solve the problems it created. Instead whoever wants to solve the root cause has to shift left and lift workers over capital. Failing that, right wing populism in power becomes inevitable.
She’s a treasure isnt she ?
Waiting for the vote tampering cries any minute now
And mutterings about the Deep State.
That. Is. A. Disgrace!
She’s probably going to write a second book about it.
That zoom in ouch
They knew…
Edit:… that she’ll look meme-worthy either way
Well they might have suspected based on exit polls but they definitely can’t have known.
You’re right, but they knew they would geht a meme worthy picture of her either way.
Beautiful. Looks like Reform split the right wing vote and cost her the seat. Even more beautiful!
Now I need to look up if Badenoch lost hers too.
No such luck.
Well, at least she beat Official Monster Raving Loony Party. That’s a win, I guess.
She killed the queen and this is how she is thanked? smdh my damn head 😔

I’m no fan of first-past-the-post systems, but I will admit that this was a beautiful moment.
Liz Truss made me have Truss issues.
Delicious.
