Former PM Liz Truss suffers shock election defeat

Former prime minister Liz Truss has lost her Norfolk South West seat to Labour.

She secured 11,217 votes while Labour's Terry Jermy received 11,847.

Ms Truss became the UK's shortest-serving leader after her disastrous mini-budget sparked a market meltdown.

How this most asinine acting woman ever became PM is beyond me!

[marktucker]

Never mind, she can get a job picking lettuce on a Norfolk farm.

Now that her 27, 000 majority has vanished, I wonder if it has finally occurred to Truss that maybe her economic views are complete rubbish.

Why does Liz Truss always look like she's spacking out? Oh I may have answered my own question there....

The UK is a bit safer with Liz Truss OUT.

Really annoying that none of the channels are showing the moment before the announcement when someone had to drag her onto the stage, and the moment she declined to give a conciliation speech.

The worst Prime Minister we’ve ever had thank God she’s lost

[ArtemisShanks]

Finally, the lettuce is gone. All it cost the country was billions of pounds.

I can't believe anyone voted for Truss!

Some say Liz Truss is still standing there figuring out what happened, did she win or not.

Couldn't have happened to a better person. Bye Liz 👋

[BadgerBoy]

There really is nothing going on behind those eyes of hers

[matthewhardwick]

Well that's probably the most humiliation any individual can possibly be subjected to. Shortest serving PM and outlasted by a lettuce. Oh and I guess this loss on top of that 😅

Thank god the Tufton Street droid is gone from our politics 🙏

[beeurd]

Truss there like "stay absolutely still, their vision is based on movement".

[concernedcitizens]

JRM, Truss, and, Shapps are all gone the world is finally smiling again 😁

[rad]

It's the vacant look on her face that gets me. How is she surprised by this result? What was she even thinking by running again or staying in Parliament after 2022?

[meditationstudioXL]

What happened to Liz Truss she was supposed to deliver, deliver, and deliver 😂

[goenzoy]

Even being a councillor is above her capacity
But she could write another book " How to save the West"

[Alcagaur]

No Liz Truss failure or imbecility qualifies as a "shock".
