The former prime minister brings a speech to an abrupt end when the banner - which also reads "I crashed the economy" - appears.

    Note to Liz - never wear lettuce green the rest of your life. You might want to avoid brown tones too.

    Hey, Liz, it is not “supression of free speech” if you just run away from reality with your tail between your legs.

      Also has to be the most entertaining thing ever to happen at a Liz Truss “pro-Trump speaking tour.” Can you imagine seeing that advertised and thinking “that’ll be good, I’ll go”?

      Come to think of it, what’s the point of a pro-Trump event in Beccles? Does Beccles have a big impact on the US election?

    Sounds like she walked off on her own accord, not due to the recommendations of any security team.

    I prefer people who can laugh at themselves in moments like these.
