Liz Truss stormed off stage last night, after pranksters humiliated her while on tour to promote her book ’10 Years To Save The West’.
HOW SHE WAS DISGRACED
The former PM had been mid-sentence at Beccles public hall in Suffolk, dissecting why Donald Trump will win the next presidential election, when the brutal banner was unveiled behind her, sending the crowd into fits of laughter.
It read: ‘I crashed the economy’ alongside a picture of a lettuce.
THEN, SHE STORMED OFF
An attendant swiftly came out and alerted Truss, while the host stammered ‘I don’t know what is going on’, before the irritated 49-year-old stormed off stage, saying ‘that is not funny.’
The cringeworthy clip, which has amassed a massive 2.9million views, was published on X by campaign group Led By Donkeys, who claimed responsibility for the incident.
It captioned the video: ‘Liz Truss is on a pro-Trump speaking tour. So we dropped a strategically-positioned remote-controlled lettuce banner.’
WHY THE PRANK
The stunt was in reference to a lettuce outlasting Truss’ time in office in a challenge created by the Daily Star.
She was saying: ‘I support Trump and I want him to win… But the, it’s what I was saying about incumbents, I think the average American is not doing well,’ as the banner unfurled.

Ms Truss served as prime minister of the UK for just 49 days in 2022, making her the shortest-serving prime minister in British history.
Her brief tenure was marred by economic turmoil – including reforms that sent the pound tumbling – before a Conservative MP rebellion ousted her from No 10.
