LIZ Truss used to pretend “minor members” of her family had died to get out of media appearances, one of her former aides has revealed.

Kirsty Buchanan, who was a special adviser to the Prime Minister when she was Justice Secretary, said the fake fatalities included “aunts and cousins and things”.

However Ms Truss eventually ran out of excuses and had to appear on BBC Question Time, where she found herself on a panel with a man she loathed.

Ms Buchanan was speaking on the Whitehall Sources podcast.

She said: “Liz Truss, when I worked for her, she obviously didn’t like the media, so we used to spend quite a lot of time making up excuses and, you know, killing off minor members of her family so that she didn’t have to go on Question Time.

Her days are seriously numbered.

Tories want JohnsonIdiot back, others want someone else just as moronic and idiotic.

UK, like the EU, like the US/BidenIdiot Regime, are insanely stuck on desperation stupid.

They said she was only going to last 6 months when she started, so I’m not even sure her behavior has anything to do with it. But I haven’t heard anybody wants Johnson back. Carrie Symonds was the actual PM.

Sounds like she’d fit right in with the Democrat candidates this side of the pond in the 2022 election cycle...

People talk about Biden not being the real leader, but Carrie Symonds basically took over by January 2021.

What’s up with changing prime ministers all the time. Italy, well it’s normal. Then Israel started doing it. Now the UK. Who’s next?

I have heard Symonds name mentioned.
To be honest, not familiar with her, as of yet.

She married Johnson, and if you look at it, she took over by January 2021. It was her agenda not his. I’m not sure if it was because of the covid he got. I guess he ended up being a one-trick pony after brexit he didn’t have anything else.

My guess is that Jeremy Hunt will be the next PM, and soon.

The long knives are out to do her in after 1 month of being in office. Just like here in the U.S. where the Dem/Socialists were seeking Trump’s impeachment the minute he went down the escalator and announced his run for the 2016 Presidency.

It’s confusing..she’s a lefty? But doesn’t get preferential treatment from the press?
