She didn't compare to a lettuce. She actually lost to a lettuce.

And the lettuce didn't try to crash the economy. It was miles ahead of her.
Yet another thing she's wrong about
I thought her being compared to somebody capable of leading the country was a laugh, too.
How does she think the lettuce felt?
Less limp and lifeless than she was
I sure thought it was funny
I completely understand that for her it was not funny at all.
For everyone else, it was hilarious.
Yeah, I’m laughing right now, and everyone knows that denying something is funny just makes it funnier.
The only non-funny thing about this is that I can’t keep lettuce from spoiling in my fridge for a week, dunno what those people did
Imagine all of the failures of your administration, and you take exception to the fact that your shelf date was compared to that of a vegetable.
If you weren't so bad at your job, the comparison wouldn't have been made. Work on it.
She is only sore because we made her leaf.
Crashing the economy was not funny.
Liz Truss being bad at her job hurts real people.
It was so fecking unfunny.
Lettuce is tasty, healthy and useful. Liz was none of those things. It's a shame we spoiled the good name of lettuce.
The only thing thing they have in common is that lettuce helps you take a shit and Liz was shit.
She shouldn’t’ve been so bloody lettucey then.
It was hilarious. Liz Truss and her policies were puerile.
Because it was actually very funny.
No, it was hilarious.
There simply aren't enough bad things that can happen to Tories.
Lettuce should really not be insulted this way
Sounds like somebody was... not amused.
It was though
It wasn't funny. It was fucking hilarious.
Well she is correct. Having a PM that compared unfaverably to a lettuce. Was far from funny and should never have been allowed to happen.
Absolutely agree.
No-one ever took the lettuce's feelings into consideration.
It was though
No it wasn't funny. It was EXTREMELY FUNNY. Then it was even funnier when the lettuce won.
I'll be honest, I thought it was funny as hell.
Your honour, I disagree.
lettuce in her head rent free
It was fucking tragic.
It was unfair for the lettuce, which still hasn't recovered.
Emotionally anyway. Career wise, it's doing much better.
Should have lasted longer than it
I wouldn't trust her opinion on what's funny.
she's a beaut aint she ?
That's what happens when you make someone prime minister jsut because they're fit!
The lettuce is fit too
awww, poor baby
Just another thing she was wrong about.
puerile
Strong words for a person who thought running through a grain field was the naughtiest thing she'd ever done.
I think you're thinking of Theresa May. It's easy to mix UK prime minsters up, since they seem to change at a phenomenal rate.
Wrong PM.
