It’s official. Liz Truss is going to be our new prime minister and the almighty leader of the Tories. And, in good and proper fashion, the internet has *some thoughts*.
There’s jokes about cheese (never waste an opportunity to bring back that video). There’s unwavering support from Liz’s biggest fan, Joe Lycett. There’s spelling tests, fashion statements and there’s comedians in wigs. More of all of the above, please.
The analysis and expert opinions are important, but we all need a laugh at the best (and the worst) of times. So we’ve rounded up a few golden memes and witty comments from some comedians of the internet.
sitting in my cold dark room, the only thing illuminated by the solitary candle is a framed picture of Liz Truss, engraved in the frame? “Gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss”
Liz Truss is the perfect example of this government’s levelling up policy in action; they won’t let experience, ability or suitability hold you back… pic.twitter.com/hO5c47jDef
Mad to think of all the shit Kim Kardashian got for wearing Marilyn Monroe’s old dress to the Met Gala and Liz Truss wore Margaret Thatcher’s rotting corpse for the entire leadership election and won 🙁
The Tory leadership election was essentially a choice for the party voters between a punch in the throat or an iron bar into the bollocks. Congratulations Liz Truss �ų�O pic.twitter.com/wWunItger4
