No, Liz Truss didn’t find the lettuce funny

The lettuce that outlasted Liz Truss’ premiership doesn’t make her laugh.

Despite her chaotic, market-crashing period in Downing Street, Truss did not see the funny side of the Daily Star’s live stream of a lettuce.

“I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile,” Truss told Irish broadcaster RTÉ — after she snapped at the interviewer for even asking the question.

Truss, who left office after 44 days while lettuce was still going strong, spoke at the EBU’s NewsXchange conference on Monday.

The focus of Truss’ foreign policy intervention since leaving No. 10 has been U.K.-Chinese relations. In May, she became the first former British prime minister to visit Taiwan and called for “more action” from the West.

During her interview with RTÉ’s David McCullagh, Truss was primarily asked about her brief tenure at No. 10, when she announced large-scale borrowings and unfunded tax cuts, which she then reversed within weeks.

According to Truss, the UK is in “serious economic trouble” and must be “bold” to reverse falling economic growth. Her economic reforms “could have gone a bit slower” because she lacked support from Tory MPs.

Noem calls for expanding U.S. travel ban amid security concerns following a deadly shooting, citing risks from additional countries.


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is calling for a major expansion of the U.S. travel ban, arguing that more countries are sending dangerous migrants into the United States. Her proposal would widen the list from 19 to as many as 30 nations, although the exact countries have not been named.

The push follows a deadly shooting in Washington that killed a young Army specialist and left another critically injured. Noem says the attack highlights growing national security gaps.

The conversation is now shifting to how the U.S. evaluates travel risks and the broader political consequences.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow is prepared for war with Europe if it is attacked, accusing European leaders of undermining peace efforts. His remarks escalate tensions amid ongoing conflict and growing fears of broader confrontation.

Putin also criticised recent changes to a U.S. peace proposal for Ukraine, calling them “absolutely unacceptable” and highlighting what he sees as major obstacles to negotiation. He insists any agreement must address the deeper causes of the conflict.

NATO officials have dismissed Putin’s comments, saying the alliance remains united and resolute. The warning comes as geopolitical pressure mounts and diplomatic channels continue to strain.
