She gave this speech 28 years ago. The queen shook hands with her only 2 days ago and now she’s dead. Ironic.

One handshake later and she got her wish

[adagietto]

She hasn't improved much as a public speaker!

[MissChambers]

She was playing the long game. The queen decided she’d seen enough and died a day after she became PM. Power moves

[smsmurni]

1994 : "Abolish them, abolish them now !"
2022 : "God save the King"

How irony it is ? 🤭

1994 Liz Truss: I'm a Republican

2022 Liz Truss: I didn't do it, I swear.

[YeTism]

I like this girl. I sure hope she doesn’t abandon her principles just to climb up the ladder

[Jimdixon]

She went from wanting to abolish the monarchy to obsessing about cheese, what a journey!

[djtomoy]

I think if you’d have told anyone there that she would be pm in 2022 they would have fallen on their arse laughing

[alanberkeley]

She's 47 now. She looks 55. She was 19 then. She looked 27. She must have been born looking old

[nozognocry]

So she has killed The Queen with a handshake. Arrest that witch!!!

[sarangistudent]

Notice how different her speech delivery is when she actually means what she says.

[DaDez]

Imagine the Queen is watching this as Liz goes into room to seek the formation of government 😬

[temibusari]

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is the case with this woman!

[Peripepp]

1994: abolish the monarchy!
2022: abolished by the monarchy

[JDooPR]

Just watched her speak now live after the queen passed and bet she’s plotting with the biggest grin on her face

[walterzamalis]

Finally, a Prime Minister who delivers

[Jim-ntxy]

Liz's stance will change like Hawaii's weather, it changes hourly.

[bluehawaii]

Starting as a liberal demokrat and ending up a Tory. Pure class… not!

[christno]

She finally got rid of Queen Elizabeth her own way 😂
