Trade secretary Liz Truss trying to explain how ‘no deal’ will work tells you all you need to know
With less than a month to go until the very real prospect, apparently, of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, surely there’s no one better than trade secretary Liz Truss to ask how a no deal exit would work.
Right?
Or course not, but 5 Live’s Emma Barnett gave it a good go and the so-called trade secretary’s answer was everything you’d imagine it would be and less.

How, in the name of all life on earth can someone as dim as that make to ministerial office? 😳

To be fair “I don’t know but if I did I wouldn’t tell the public” is pretty much the ministerial answer to most Brexit questions for the last three years.
Truss is just honest and dim enough to say it out loud.

In unfuckingbelievable times, this still drops jaw to the FLOOR.
