Favourite 27 things people said about this photo of Liz Truss ‘doing trade deals with Japan’
Anyone who thinks Brexit’s going to be a disaster can rest assured that newly-appointed trade secretary Liz Truss is totally on the case.
Why, here she is just pictured on Twitter doing gazillion pound trade deals with Japan. Except there was something about the pic that didn’t strike people as quite right.
First call today with Japan's Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry @SekoHiroshige. The future of the 🇬🇧-🇯🇵 partnership is bright and we will move quickly to negotiate a UK- Japan FTA. #ReadyToTrade pic.twitter.com/QeDIMhxKwS

she put the picture of the dog on that table to appear human but we know that's not where the picture normally resides because what maniac would buy a little table only to take up all the space with a massive picture of a dog why am I even tweeting this https://t.co/hz4nrukLkJ

David: Hello?
Liz: Hi, David. I’ve gone to all the trouble of setting up a photo opportunity calling Japan’s Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry and he is out.
David: No worries, Liz. We’ll pretend to talk.
Liz: Thanks.
David: Is the folder still just blank pages?
Liz: Yep. pic.twitter.com/OEf1BWLQbx— Steve Analyst (@EmporersNewC) August 20, 2019

Just act natural.
What if people question the folder size?
We’ll distract them with a bizarre framed photo that’s too big for the table.
There are too many wires, it looks chaotic.
Liz, relax.
Why am I not using the speakerphone?
Nobody will noti..
Why am I wearing two watches? https://t.co/zayzpitBYD— Lee Madgwick (@LeeMadgwick) August 20, 2019

Liz Truss has a serious problem with tables and the weirdest fucking picture of her and a dog I've ever seen. And there are people who think this government will lead us to the sunlit uplands? pic.twitter.com/0qj5atqzDd

‘Oh hi! Didn’t see you there. It’s just me, Liz, makin’ a trade deal with Japan. Yeah that’s my dog on the side table there. I’n’t she cute. Yup this is my binder full of blank sheets of paper, whoops, didn’t think you’d see that, haha! Yup, my mouth’s shut on the phone. Bye!’ https://t.co/FALKmnlOGI

Even the espresso machine is for show (judging by the pack which remains unopened).

me, a normal human: yes, using the phone and ignoring the speakerphone next to it is definitely the smart move here

this is the optimum office setup:
– on the phone, but with additional conference phone for ambient noise
– phone cord wrapped around table to restrict head movement
– extra tiny table entirely take up by large photo of yourself https://t.co/8gwGhC0CR8— ian mighty (@iammightor) August 20, 2019
