Trust Liz to deliver! 11 of our favourite Liz Truss owns (and self-owns)
Liz Truss is still in the fight to become the next prime minister and leader of the Conservative party, but it wasn’t an entirely impressive launch speech on Thursday. Quite the opposite, in fact.
So what better time to enjoy these 11 all-time great Liz Truss owns (and self-owns). You can trust Liz to deliver!

4. When she took aim at Kay Burley and blew her own face off
#KayBurley – Rachel Maclean told me that people just need to work more hours & then they wouldn’t be poor
Liz Truss – That’s a miss characterisation of what she said
KB – How is it a miss characterisation when she told me that twice?

5. When Dan Walker took her down with her own Instagram
Dan Walker – The Tories have received £2m with Russian links… people who have benefited from that money are Dominic Raab, Rishi Sunak & 5 other MPs attending cabinet.. how damaging is that?
Liz Truss – These donors are part of the British political system… #BBCBreakfast pic.twitter.com/xDd4kawobn

8. When she was brutally owned by Andrew Neil over the government’s housebuilding record
Of course you can trust the party that promised in 2014 to build 200,000 new starter homes then built none at all. Not one.

And finally, this supercut of the Foreign Secretary getting owned again and again. And again
As Liz Truss is Trending, I thought we should have a montage.
