I guess we can add ‘humourless’ to the list of her qualities - alongside ‘economically illiterate’, ‘dogmatic’, ‘devoid of empathy’, ‘charmless’ and plain ‘thick’.

About 99% of the population of the UK are hundreds or thousands of £ a year worse off, because of the financial policies she tried to bring in during her short tenure of office.

[she complained that] “Politics is sort of treated as a branch of the entertainment industry, who’s up, who’s down, who says what about who…”

The only thing not funny about the comparison is Liz Truss.
Lettuce, OTOH, is always good for a chuckle.
