The former British PM thinks the obsession with a lettuce that outlasted her was ‘puerile.’

    It was, in fact, hilarious.

      the more the lettuce (and truss’ government) deteriorated, the funnier the whole thing got.

    I personally found it hilarious, and my absolute best memory of her premiership.

    She’s just mad that the lettuce lasted longer than she did.

    “I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile.”

    She’s half right. Truth is, it was very much both.

    No that was super funny. Crashing the UK economy seemingly overnight all in a bid to save the richest people in the country a few bucks? Now that’s not funny

    Thanks Liz. We had almost forgotten that but now you’ve jogged our memories on how funny that was.
