    I can’t imagine it cost that much to do it, it also puts the focus on her work trying to get Trump elected, and reminds everyone (or even informs Americans) of what she did. I assume LBD are also trying to help derail the Trump campaign.

      I guess, but as far as I know, they’re funded by donations (and are meant to be focused on UK politics, not US), so it’s not like they’ve got a bunch of cash to splash about, and I really don’t think Truss is worthy of them wasting any resources on, she’s best left to be ignored by history as the failure that she was, not kept relevant when she really isn’t.

      I get that she’s easy and enjoyable to make fun of, but even if it is about indirectly targeting trump, and they really do want to influence not only local but global politics, there are much better targets.

      But hey, not my money, not my choice, just my personal opinion… ¯\(ツ)

        Why are they meant to be focussed on anything, do they have a manifesto which says they only do that? They have done stunts related to Trump before (when he was in the UK), so this isn’t out of their modus operandi.

        Truss has kept herself active politically, so she’s fair game. She hasn’t been held to account for what she did, and she hasn’t allowed herself to be ignored by maintaining her grift.

        I’m a donor to Led By Donkeys and I fully support this action. The election of Trump would be bad news for both our countries, and all the other ones, and anything that recalls how terrible the last government was in the minds of the British public is constructive.

      I’m a relatively-informed American (or at least, I try to be) but I’m drawing a blank here. What did she do again?

        She was British prime minister for a few weeks. She was booted out because her ‘strategy’ to ‘revamp’ the British economy crashed it extremely quickly.

        Became Prime Minister, crashed the economy with Kwasi Kwarteng, killed the Queen, then said it wasn’t her fault and that they should have gone further with their mini-budget. Now she’s a Trumpette.

        she crashed the economy by saying she was going to reduce taxes on the rich, so much so the bank of England had to step-in to shore up bonds.
