‘That’s not funny!’: Liz Truss storms off stage as she becomes latest victim of Led By Donkeys stunt

Liz Truss stormed off stage after she became the latest victim of a Led By Donkeys stunt.

The former prime minister, who lasted just 49 days in the top job, was speaking at a pro-Trump event in America when a banner was unveiled showing a lettuce with the words: “I crashed the economy”.

The lettuce outlasted Truss after her radical tax-slashing agenda sent markets into shock, eventually leading to her demise after just weeks in charge.

She was reminded of the fact by Led By Donkeys in this wonderful stunt.

Truss isn’t the only politician to become a victim of a Led By Donkeys banner stunt.

In June, a banner of Russian president Vladimir Putin expressing his support for the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was unveiled halfway through his election speech.

It came after he courted criticism for allegedly repeating Vladimir Putin’s justification for the invasion of Ukraine.
