Liz Truss Welcomes The ‘Financial Collapse’ Of The UN And The Irony Is Off The Charts
Liz Truss has welcomed warnings that the United Nations faces “imminent financial collapse” – and she should know all about that.
The former prime minister said the comments by the body’s secretary general, António Guterres, were “excellent” news.
According to the BBC, he said the financial crisis which was “threatening programme delivery” and that the UN could even run out of money by July.
Truss, who last month urged Donald Trump to “dismantle” the international body, welcomed the report in a post on X.
However, social media users were quick to point out the irony of Truss’s latest political intervention, given the economic meltdown triggered by her disastrous mini-Budget.
She lasted just 49 days in No.10 after her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng sent interest rates soaring and sank the pound by announcing £45 billion-worth of unfunded tax cuts.
It is not the first time Truss has sparked ridicule in recent days.
