Truss summoned Russian ambassador to meet her and everybody said the same thing

"You giving him a questionnaire and a £100 fine?" wrote one person in response to the foreign secretary's tweet.

Margaret Thacher wannabe Liz Truss flexed her muscles today and summoned the Russian ambassador to meet her.

It comes after she was embarrassed by the BBC’s Dan Walker after he questioned the foreign secretary on the “closeness of the British government to Russian money” following a raft of sanctions that were deemed a damp squib by opponents.

Today, to look tough, she tweeted: “I have summoned the Russian ambassador to meet me and explain Russia’s illegal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. We will be imposing severe sanctions and rallying countries in support of Ukraine.”

Andrei Kelin recently criticised Ms Truss’s diplomatic efforts to bring the dispute with Russia to an end, suggesting to the PA news agency he could see “no UK role in each of constructive solutions”.

I have summoned the Russian ambassador to meet me and explain Russia’s illegal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. We will be imposing severe sanctions and rallying countries in support of Ukraine.

Reactions

Not many people think it would make Russia change their minds at all!

1.

First action: Remove all Kremlin-linked money from your Tory Party.

Unless you’re willing to sanction your own money there, no-one will take any of your other actions seriously…

…as they’ll read it as you not taking the matter seriously.

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.
