Liz Truss Loses Her Seat As Many Big Tory Names Get Wiped Out

Perhaps the most iconic moment capping the final, chaotic chapter of 14 years of Conservative rule was former Prime Minister Liz Truss losing her seat in Parliament - and she wasn’t the only big Tory name to be summarily dispatched.
She is joined by Penny Mordaunt - famous for carrying the sword at King Charles III’s coronation - and Defense Secretary Grant Shapps, two senior party figures that might have considered mounting a leadership challenge if voters hadn’t seen them off.
Election defeats of sitting Cabinet ministers are so rare in British politics that the early downfall of the Conservative defense secretary in 1997 became known by his name as the party’s “Portillo moment.” In one single night, the Tories this year suffered several such moments, with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt hanging on by a thread.

She was surprised that she lost??? How effing clueless is she? 😂😂😂

[@Gavin48]

She didn't lose by much.

[@Costilicious3]

@@Gavin48cool, didn’t lose by much. May as well give her the seat then eh?

[@beckynelson6786]

I feel no pity for someone who has no self awareness.Is she not aware of the fact that she ruined the Economy in a reckless move?Is she unaware of the misery that has caused for a lot of people.I hope she never darkens our doors again.

Lettuce take a minute for this to sink in.

[@wleon4068]

Honestly, the sense of entitlement from these people is sickening.

[@chrismcerlain1664]

I suspect she was holding back tears

[@ianwhitehead691]

Good Riddance

[@rockerjim8045]

you could see her working out the results in her head as they were being announced and then desperately trying not to show any reaction knowing she had lost.

[@Rhuanjl]

They're normally told who's won before they walk on stage; the moment of standing there is for everyone else...

[@rockerjim8045]

@@Rhuanjl is that why she was absent keeping the announcement waiting. That’s so the crowd began to Slow Hand Clap her

[@Rhuanjl]

@@rockerjim8045 I don't know, but it's possible she was struggling to compose herself after hearing the result.
To clarify, its only the candidates who are told the result before the announcement; the crowd gathered mostly does not know - so the slow probably clappers didn't know (but may have guessed).

Ah Well 115k PA allowance a bulletproof chauffer drivern Range Rover taxed, insured and serviced 3 PPOs in rotation until the day she passes, no bad for 48 days of destruction

[@74the_magpie]

[@kevinjackson6387]

[@thomaspaine1980]

The old slapper has finally been kicked out! She must have slept with all of her team, hence why they were sad 😢 and weeping!

[@user-mg9oy4yv9i]

I doubt whether she feels sorry for all the damage she has done.

[@vermilliongecko]

Don't empathise with someone who feels no empathy. She wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

[@catalinacurio]

I’d call her dim but that’s being too kind
