Former prime minister criticises Daily Star stunt but says UK media’s irreverence is a good thing overall
Liz Truss has described as “puerile” the newspaper stunt in which her tenure as prime minister was measured against the shelf life of a lettuce.
Speaking at a broadcasting conference in Dublin, Truss also complained that the media did not properly understand her economic ideas. She said too much political coverage was “froth”, while at the same time praising the overall irreverence of the UK.
