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.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
