Best reactions as Liz Truss got lost leaving her own campaign launch event

"Where are those nuclear codes? I know I left them round here somewhere..."

Liz Truss launched her leadership bid today.

She vowed to “deliver, deliver, deliver from day one” if she wins the Tory leadership contest – even though she has held crucial Cabinet positions for the last eight years…

The Foreign Secretary is bidding to see off rival Penny Mordaunt, who is under fire from allies of Ms Truss after a surge of support for the trade minister.

Ms Mordaunt came second in the first round of voting on Wednesday, pushing Ms Truss into third place.

Attack

Supporters of Ms Truss seized on a scathing attack on Ms Mordaunt from former Brexit minister Lord Frost.

He told TalkTV: “I am quite surprised at where she is in this leadership race. She was my deputy – notionally, more than really – in the Brexit talks last year.

“I felt she did not master the detail that was necessary in the negotiations last year. She wouldn’t always deliver tough messages to the European Union when that was necessary.”

But it was an incident during her leadership announcement that got people talking, as she appeared to get lost after she gave the speech!

Bizzare moment after Liz Truss' speech as she appeared to get lost when trying to find her way out of the room.

Leave means aimlessly wander around with no clue where you are going.

This is worth pondering over…

Gotta love Liz Truss, the former Lib Dem republican, who then became a Remain backing Cameroonian Tory, before finally ending up a Brexiter darling of the UKIP tendency right.

Consistency. https://t.co/5zYThpnGtR

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
