Liz Truss was back in the House of Commons today after her not entirely successful Conservative party conference to face Labour leader Keir Starmer at PMQs.
And it’s fair to say it didn’t go too well for the nascent PM, who performed several more U-turns, including categorically stating that there would be no public spending cuts only for Downing Street to do yet another U-turn on this with the hour.
Starmer's face is an absolute picture here (at 1.08!).
He looks as perplexed as anyone why Truss keeps banging on about energy prices when the markets are in turmoil and interest rates are spiralling.
It's like he genuinely can't believe this is who he's up against. #PMQs pic.twitter.com/4NmTS78B7y

It went so well, in fact, that Truss did this afterwords (for ‘tea room’ read ‘panic room’).
Hear from an MP that the PM’s gone to tearoom after PMQs

Here are our 23 favourite things people are saying about Truss right now (get ’em while she’s still PM!)

I don't think Starmer quite knows what to with Truss at #PMQs.
It's like trying to explain trigonometry to a labrador. She just stands there, gazing uncomprehendingly at him.— Phil Harrison (@MrPMHarrison) October 12, 2022

Liz Truss says ‘I’m genuinely unclear’. Think we can all agree on that

I’m surprised Kwarteng isn’t laughing during #PMQs, thought that was his favourite thing to do when women called Liz are buried.

Even Liz Truss doesn't look like she believes in Liz Truss#PMQs

It's hard to find the words to describe just how awful Truss is but one key difference between her & Johnson is his ability to apply a veneer of plausibility to the twaddle they both talk.

All keir starmer has to do is repeat “ who voted for this “ to rattle the PM as she knows it wasn’t voted for by either her party , much of her cabinet or the country #pmqs

Yes, I’m definitely using Liz Truss as the slide where I say no-one should ever suffer from imposter syndrome ever again. #PMQs

Wow – PMQs. Liz Truss's constant "We have taken decisive action to lower energy bills" reply to EVERY question is like me in 1995 shouting "PARKLIFE!" in the middle of every conversation, whatever it was about.

If someone asked Truss about her views on religion she would answer by saying she had introduced an energy price policy she is so so so odd. #pmqs

That's why she's often stumped.
