Best reactions as Liz Truss makes #Teasock trend as she stumbles over pronouncing taoiseach

"I'm sorry, if you're the British Foreign Secretary the least you could do is know how to pronounce the Head of Government of your next door neighbour."

Foreign secretary Liz Truss said there was “absolutely no reason” for the European Union to retaliate against the UK after plans to tear up the Northern Ireland Protocol caused outrage in Brussels and capitals across the bloc.

Ireland’s Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney warned the UK Government’s move could “destabilise” the situation in Northern Ireland and was undermining the work that led to the Brexit agreement with the EU.

So it looks like another bleak day in Brexitland and to top it off we are also trying to stick refugees on a one-way flight to Rwanda.

Thankfully, Truss was on hand to provide some light relief as she, in her role as foreign secretary, managed to call the Irish premier a tea sock.

Seriously UK. The position has been the Taoiseach since 1937. Just make a BASIC effort.

Since you are here

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.
