REMOVE THE £117k ANNUAL PAYMENT SHE GETS AS A FORMER

[MixedUpSignals]

Good riddance. Now give the pension back Truss. You didn't earn it and you definitely didn't deserve it.

[bullywags]

She has cost the British economy billions, and she has zero shame.

[simonbird]

When even Jacob Rees Mogg shows more class than you it's really damning.

[jackkruese]

She looked like she was trying to hide a seething resentment at her downfall because it was everyone else’s fault and not hers.

[freddiejohnson]

Her leaving everyone waiting to begin with was embarrassing enough but her refusing to even graciously accept defeat and congratulate her opponent was disrespectful and the way she just walked out like a dear caught in headlights shows how arrogant she was thinking it was going to be an easy win.

[briancollins]

Best news ever. May we never hear from her ever again!

[frankstollar]

Her ego is the inverse of her mental acumen.

[richardmartin]

The only thing more crazy than Truss is the people who voted for her

[wfnnrxt]

Appalling behaviour. Her rudeness and arrogance was staggering.

[auroraalpha]

I'm shocked _shocked_ I tell you that the person chumming it up with Trump might not be a particularly good loser

[poqbcmq]

She'll go full Trump and claim there were 15 thousand votes for her that were dumped in a nearby river

[gt-lvzo]

Truss has always been graceless and totally without manners or class. That's as well as being entitled and a bit bonkers. Case needs to be gone asap.

[bield]

Even in defeat she adopts her smug default setting. Narcissism personified

[tonyb]

Her lack of grace only it make it funnier.

[danmayberry]

Who among us hasn't collapsed a nation's economy, and not wanted to say goodbye.

[paulyoung]

It couldn't happen to a nicer Tory.

[mjrhitchin]

Be careful, when a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.

—Albert Camus

[ivanconnolly]

By not having sociopaths as Ministers, I think the public will be pleasantly surprised at the results.

[trevorroberts]

Graceless Truss is an extreme narcissist and also possiblyba sociopath.
