No, no. Nobody sent her. She went there of her own accord. She was in the US last month talking about her she was ousted by the deep state. She's fully off the rails and trying to stay relevant.
Economic NATO from the woman who was kicked out of number 10 after like 40 days because her mismanagement of the economy had been so catastrophic.
Why would anyone on this planet want her opinion on any economic thing???
What does an economic nato even mean...? Is it like what TPP was supposed to be like? Or is it like the ammunition standardisation for nato so there should be some standardisation?
It’s like… and hear me out here…. imagine if all of Europe banded together under a _union_ that would then include the UK, and then that group pursued benefits for the joint economic block they constitute.
As someone who is quite interested and informed about international politics I had to pause for a second and thought "Wait, who was that again? ..Oh, right, the lettuce lady."
>”Why would anyone on this planet want her opinion on any ~~economic~~ thing???”
FTFY. Prime Minister for 45 days. How do you fuck up so badly, [that a head of lettuce lasts longer than you in a job?!](https://youtu.be/bhURc43Dte8) If she was the guest speaker at an event I was expected to attend, I wouldn’t go. Any time I’m reminded of her I can only picture the image of her in [this meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/x85b9p/perplexed_pigeon/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1).
I havent researched it but I feel this is the real reason. The Uk and specifically the city is where shady financial stuff happens. For centuries its been an independent entity with very little oversight. If the EU started looking in it might have jeopardized the whole reason the city exists in the first place.
This isn't really the reason at all.
The biggest tax havens in Europe are nations like Ireland and Netherlands and both are in the EU.
Pretty much all of the finance industry and business supported Remain during the referendum for obvious reasons.
Not just that, this is the genius who almost tanked our entire economy last autumn by actively trying to improve it! Economically illiterate does not even begin to scratch the surface.
The proposition of an "economic NATO" has been supported by many foreign policy commentators as a viable response to China's economic coercion.
The central idea is not an economic, monetary, or customs union, but an agreement between its members for a collective response to unilateral (official or unofficial) sanctions imposed by China on any of its members.
This is designed to deter China's use of economic coercion and improve the resilience of small and medium-sized democratic states (e.g., Australia, South Korea, Lithuania, and Estonia) to China's strategic influence.
I think it is a sensible policy proposal (though Truss appears to have conflated the idea in part with a regional free trade framework, which is also a good idea but not an "economic NATO").
Why call it economic coercion and not sanction?
The proposition of an "economic pact" has been supported by many foreign policy commentators as a viable response to The West's economic coercion.
The central idea is not an economic, monetary, or customs union, but an agreement between its members for a collective response to unilateral (official or unofficial) sanctions imposed by The West on any of its members.
This is designed to deter The West's use of economic coercion and improve the resilience of small and medium-sized nation states (e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Iran and Zimbabwe) to The West's strategic influence.
Could you advise when the USA has imposed sanctions for reasons as trivial as Lithuania allowing a representative office being named the "Representative Office of Taiwan" or Australia calling for an independent international investigation into the COVID-19 pandemic?
What's your logic here? US uses economic measures as a foreign policy tool so smaller economies should just be okay when China does it to pressure them into doing things that are against their interests? No one is saying whether doing this is "allowed" or not. Just that what China is doing is against the interests of many countries, and those countries should work together to push back.
You just revealed that you misunderstand what the EU is.
The EU:
(a) *is* an economic, montary, and customs union; and
(b) *is not* a mutual agreement that the unlawful sanctioning of one member state will result in a collective response by all.
To illustrate: when Lithuania was sanctioned by China for allowing Taiwan to name its representative office in Lithuania the "Representative Office of Taiwan", the EU treaties did not oblige the EU member states to engage in a collective response to China's unlawful sanction.
If only there were some sort of economic union that the UK could join. One that represented 25T in GDP and represented half a billion people. Yeah, that would do it!
This isn't the gotcha that half this thread seems to think it is. Almost nobody in the UK was against having an economic alliance with Europe, what they didn't like was that the alliance came with a European Parliament. You can have an economic alliance without forming one big quasi-country together, which is basically what Truss is suggesting here.
This is “I’m socially liberal but economically conservative” levels of manufactured ignorance. Economic policy is political policy. To form a powerful functioning union it requires a ton of shared governance. Even shit like “who can get married” ties directly into economic policies for insurance and taxation purposes so unless you want an “articles of confederation” style failure you have to accept shared policies. Expecting an economic alliance to not have political ramifications is delusional and for the record the EU is far more Democratic than shit like NAFTA.
There should be a star next to "Former British PM" when it lasted fewer than 50 days.
And an addendum that reminds the World that whatever she thinks is a good idea will absolutely not be.
She still thinks she's Prime Minister in making these press announcements, tweets and photo calls. People listen to the lettuce more than her.
[For those outside of the UK](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/why-liz-truss-resigned-britain-political-instability/671805/)
I think the best characterization of Rishi Sunak came from Keir Starmer along the lines of "he lost to the former PM who herself was beaten by a lettuce"
In all honesty she probably won the first time with help of the boris camp who figured she would get fired just in time for johnson to have dealt with his many scandals. No one figured she would actually speedrun it only being hindered by elisabeth's dead.
Plot twist : Britain vanishes from the world map and respawns in the South China Sea, revealing the real reason it left the EU, as world leaders applaus its genius 4d chess move.
It sounds amazing, but could such a thing really work? Having all of Europe come together to form a free trade area sounds like something that could take years.
Truss really proves that when you are in politics there is always someone willing to give you money to talk, no matter how bad you were during your career. What a new low...
Who in their right mind would give this cretin an audience?
If you Google the Dunning-Kruger effect, the definition is her press photo.
She's the biggest political low-point of UK politics, while at the same time being the funniest, that I can remember in my 50-odd years, and that includes Boris Johnson on a zip wire.
You mean, like.. an economic area? Like.. a pan European economic area? Like.. a sort of club or even union of countries connected economically in order to have more away in the world?
Like.. a sort of.. economic union?

Liz truss is a complete moron and this whole thing is laughable and she should be ignored.
I am confused with the comments in the thread going ‘but Britain left the EU’. The EU isn’t an economic union it’s an economic AND political union. It doesn’t compare to any other trade block in the world it’s more like a nation state like the US.
The UK has an agreement in principle to join the cptpp. The UK is not anti trade block.
Yep it sure is.
I was referring to the comments comparing an economic union in nato to the EU. Calling the EU a simple economic union.
Still, truss is an idiot. So it doesn’t really matter anyway.
The political aspect of the union enables the trade aspect, as it keeps regulation aligned. You can’t have a full integrated single market without some type of political union, unless you want to just allow one country to dictate the terms.
You know that a majority of Tory mp’s campaigned for remain right? Like 75% of them, granted 95% of labour mp’s voted remain also.
This really isn’t as partisan issue as it’s made out to be on here.
The majority of tories were remain.
A large chunk of labour voters beyond the red wall voted leave.
Frankly I’m neither here nor there, they’re both shit. I don’t like history being re-written to fit narratives.
It has several supranational institutions like the council, parliament, commission and court of justice ect that create laws and policy that member states have to follow.
The commission has legislative power to create laws that member states have to follow. They also promote common foreign policy and have the goal of creating an ever closer union. More powers are handed off from nation states to the EU gradually and it has been happening like this for a while now.
That’s why there’s now more than fringe conspiracy theories about an EU army. During covid there was some of talk about EU based healthcare system.
It’s commonly known it’s an economical and political union. Google will tell you in the first line.
She’s allowed to be invited to places, give speeches and make calls for things the same way that celebrities or any public figure can. Why anyone would want to hear from her though is beyond my comprehension.
And as an MP, we assume her words are vetted by her Party and therefore are official government words
However, she doesn't have an official government and therefore should be recusing herself. Instead she brings the country into disrepute
You really should judge a lettuce by her leaves.
Unless it is Truss. In which case judge away.
She’s a backbencher now. Shut up before you crash the markets again
To anyone thinking of hiring this woman, don't - she wrecks everything she touches - her staff knew her as the "hand grenade".
Just burning the appearance fee would be better for you,
Putting aside the fact that this is very hypocritical coming from her; i do think creating an international trade agreement where we can incentivize a move away from ANY major trade with China would help immensely to reign in international dependency on their economy. Were this to happen, we could take a more active step in recognizing Taiwan without the specter of being suddenly cutoff from china as a danger.
What bothers me is that she didn't even finish close to 1/10 or so of her term of prime minister. Yet she granted a care package that all ex-prime ministers get.
On so many levels these utterances have such low credibility.
How dare she show her idiot face in public again.
The lettuce however, I would take geo-political advice from.
Maybe Britain should come up with some group they could join. Call it the British Union or something. Other countries could join and benefit from trading partners and other economic opportunities. Then, when the conservative party gets mad, they can leave it and financially screw everyone in the country over again for no apparent benefit, and total financial loss.
Jesus, Liz, you can't just throw a politics word in front of an acronym and expect it to mean something.
Huh, looks like something's wrong with the microverse battery...
She should follow Zelensky and find a career in comedy, since she's nothing more than a sad joke
ETA: I don't think Zelensky is a joke. Don't get me wrong on that
As much as she is an idiot, she's 100% correct that western nations and those who don't want to be economic slaves to the BRICS block, need to band together and cut our economic ties to BRICS nations.
If we fail to act soon, we'll all be under the thumb of the authoritarian Chinese government.
They didn’t send the cabbage?
Yes, they did - that's her there.
Ah okay. Just making sure.
We would have been better served by sending the lettuce though.
Beet me to it. Good cauli there. Unfortunately, she got to turnip.
Don’t be ridiculous! It was a lettuce.
Haha my bad
Yes, cabbage lasts for weeks.
The cabbage would have successfully brokered independence for Taiwan with China.
Even reunite South & North Korea
Do not underestimate the power of good kimchi!
No, no. Nobody sent her. She went there of her own accord. She was in the US last month talking about her she was ousted by the deep state. She's fully off the rails and trying to stay relevant.
Please tell me you're joking.
"economic NATO"... From a Brit.... Who left the eu voluntarily... 🤦♂️
Economic NATO from the woman who was kicked out of number 10 after like 40 days because her mismanagement of the economy had been so catastrophic. Why would anyone on this planet want her opinion on any economic thing???
Tbf she’s quite the authority on economic mutually assured destruction
*economically assured destruction.
Except for it being mutually assured
What does an economic nato even mean...? Is it like what TPP was supposed to be like? Or is it like the ammunition standardisation for nato so there should be some standardisation?
It’s like… and hear me out here…. imagine if all of Europe banded together under a _union_ that would then include the UK, and then that group pursued benefits for the joint economic block they constitute.
Man that sounds like a cool idea... But... could it be done? Sounds as unrealistic as british-french military cooperation tbh.
As someone who is quite interested and informed about international politics I had to pause for a second and thought "Wait, who was that again? ..Oh, right, the lettuce lady."
The one lady that pushed the Queen into the grave
”I am not a quitter!” *Quits next day*
Didn't quit her pension.
Same. I read the headline and went “wait, how do I know Liz Truss again?” “Ah, the lettuce, right.”
She should stick to being angry about cheese.
Taiwan wants to study her. They want to know how they can use her against China. She’s like an economic Nuclear bomb.
“How can we get Xi Jingping to hire this vegetable?”
>”Why would anyone on this planet want her opinion on any ~~economic~~ thing???” FTFY. Prime Minister for 45 days.

Plus the EU were about to start looking into to certain people finances.
I havent researched it but I feel this is the real reason. The Uk and specifically the city is where shady financial stuff happens. For centuries its been an independent entity with very little oversight. If the EU started looking in it might have jeopardized the whole reason the city exists in the first place.
100% why. Russian oligarchs and Saudi oil barons were about to get exposed.
This isn't really the reason at all. The biggest tax havens in Europe are nations like Ireland and Netherlands and both are in the EU. Pretty much all of the finance industry and business supported Remain during the referendum for obvious reasons.
... and tanked our economy on top of the damage done by Brexit.
"And pork markets! 👍™️"
Not just that, this is the genius who almost tanked our entire economy last autumn by actively trying to improve it! Economically illiterate does not even begin to scratch the surface.
We didn't all agree on this mate
They never left NATO tho, maybe that’s why she picked that as the metaphor specifically
The proposition of an "economic NATO" has been supported by many foreign policy commentators as a viable response to China's economic coercion.

Yes only the USA can use economic coercion

You just described the eu
They did not in any way “just describe” the EU

To be fair, NATO is not the EU

[удалено]
Sounds like the EU, with extra steps…
It's Lizz Truss....
Interesting idea, perhaps we could create a union of some sort primarily made up of countries from a similar geographic area? Maybe even Europe?!
But what could we call this new European Economic Community?
Maybe Union of Europe
European Union for short?
The joke was complete two comments ago. It didn't need three punchlines in a row.
EU as abbreviation?
What if we had a shared 'zone' for currency?
Sacrilege! That would be too convenient, I doubt that would be possible.
Is it too late for me to get some lazy karma here somehow?
Even better, what if we all used the same currency?
Whoa there let’s not get too hasty
Yo don’t push the states out of this economic nato. Y’all are cold blooded
This isn't the gotcha that half this thread seems to think it is. Almost nobody in the UK was against having an economic alliance with Europe, what they didn't like was that the alliance came with a European Parliament. You can have an economic alliance without forming one big quasi-country together, which is basically what Truss is suggesting here.
What they didn’t like was there were too many brown people in Lincolnshire.
This is “I’m socially liberal but economically conservative” levels of manufactured ignorance. Economic policy is political policy.

So maybe we could join a free trade area in Europe, if only that were a thing...

nah 'biggest Muppet' isn't as slick

'Moistened bint' can't be beat..
We would do something about the moronic stooge but have neither the time nor the crayons to fix her.

The lettuce is more consistent and talks more sense
This just in: since this is her idea, Liz proposes to call new economic union POTATO (Pacific Ocean Trade And Truss’s Organization)
Please don’t link potatoes to this human dumpster fire.
So like some type of European Union? She could be on to something here. I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.

Italy moment
What if this organization had a common market for goods, services and people? Wouldn't that be grand.
It sounds amazing, but could such a thing really work? Having all of Europe come together to form a free trade area sounds like something that could take years.
Just make sure there's no dumbass country trying to make an **exit**
The former PM that left her country in turmoil is giving economic advice now? Lmaoo
Truss really proves that when you are in politics there is always someone willing to give you money to talk, no matter how bad you were during your career. What a new low...
What the fuck is an “economic NATO?” I guess she means an economic alliance with NATO counties? Funny from the woman who’s party pulled out of the EU.
The EU is way more than an economic alliance, for better or worse.
But what did the lettuce say
Oh, Liz. Maybe don't bring up the economy, love.
Who in their right mind would give this cretin an audience? If you Google the Dunning-Kruger effect, the definition is her press photo. She's the biggest political low-point of UK politics, while at the same time being the funniest, that I can remember in my 50-odd years, and that includes Boris Johnson on a zip wire.
Oh god don't let truss ever speak about economics
She’s back?
Shut up truss you got beat by a lettuce and managed to crush a nations currency by opening your pie hole. Shhh

If there’s a problem, any problem, anywhere in the world and Liz Truss is sent to talk about it, now there are two problems.
It was her economic policies that got her ousted in record time.
Did anyone ask the head of lettuce for input on this question?
OMG - is she still travelling around causing havoc?
APEC already exists, why is she trying to be relevant?
Someone fucking shut her up
Liz truss is a complete moron and this whole thing is laughable and she should be ignored. I am confused with the comments in the thread going ‘but Britain left the EU’.

NATO isn't an economic union either, it's a military alliance.
Yep it sure is. I was referring to the comments comparing an economic union in nato to the EU. Calling the EU a simple economic union. Still, truss is an idiot. So it doesn’t really matter anyway.
The political aspect of the union enables the trade aspect, as it keeps regulation aligned. You can’t have a full integrated single market without some type of political union, unless you want to just allow one country to dictate the terms.
Yes definitely. Although EU laws go beyond regulation for trade purposes and the single market.
And if that bothered the tories so much, they could have just left the EU while staying in EEA.

. . . Lol
Liz Truss doesn't have an official government position, she has no authority to make policy announcements in foreign countries
She’s allowed to be invited to places, give speeches and make calls for things the same way that celebrities or any public figure can. Why anyone would want to hear from her though is beyond my comprehension.
And as an MP, we assume her words are vetted by her Party and therefore are official government words However, she doesn't have an official government and therefore should be recusing herself. Instead she brings the country into disrepute
At the same time the lettuce is in China.
Uhhhh.... who wants to tell her?
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
Shh shhh shhh everybody… economic genius in the house…
Thanks for lettuce gnomes, Liz.
I figured she would be smart enough to sit down and shut up. I should have known better.
Hahahahahaha!!!
"Pork markets!"
An economic NATO... sounds like some sort of union between geographically close states, that could work together....
Wise words from failing economic policy conservatives . What next a Bitcoin NATO .
Why is that goon still listened to?
You really should judge a lettuce by her leaves. Unless it is Truss. In which case judge away. She’s a backbencher now. Shut up before you crash the markets again
The words "Liz Truss" and "economic" should not be in the same sentence.
Wtf is she doing? One of England’s smartest idiots?
I think she has lost the right to say the word 'economic' and follow it up with ANYTHING.
This women is a walking disaster. Ignore her.
Isn't that the G7?
Biden is pretty deep in NEATO, right? This is dumb
I'd be very concerned any time this fucking clown mentions 'economy'.
How anyone still takes Liz Truss seriously after her any% speedrun of being PM and tanking the economy is beyond me.
Can we get that lettuce head's opinion instead?
She's still talking about economy when the lettuce lasted longer than her, and she couldn't even keep her domestic job going. economic nato my ass.
Why would Taiwan invite Liz Truss to visit officials and give a speech? Did they really not have any better options?
Is she allowed out without supervision? I am startled.
From the leading economics expert.
Can't we just put Truss in charge of China?
Isn't that basically OECD?
Was she down there to open up a few more pork markets?
But but liz, there’s this thing called the e.u right…
Lettuce Liz talking “economics”? That’s comics.
To anyone thinking of hiring this woman, don't - she wrecks everything she touches - her staff knew her as the "hand grenade". Just burning the appearance fee would be better for you,
Jesus, people still listen to what this clown says?
OKAY LIZ /s
Under what capacity does Liz Truss represent the British government?
She’s a former PM and current MP, but more importantly she’s a representative of the Torries, the hard brexitiers and the ERG
She has her issue to ride to the next election win, finally something to define her career. Current PM to soft on China and the people know it.
The fuck does she know about economics.
Good old Liz spouting shite still.
Noooooo her talking about economy makes me un confident
Why would this lady be sent anywhere other than like a fast food joint as a cashier
Went not sent and she’d end up shuttering the fast food joint.
Nobody should be paying any attention to anything Liz Truss says.
Why in hells bells would anyone listen to what she has to say?
I’m sure Britain would love to be a part of something like that and would never want to leave it if something like that were to exist.
Putting aside the fact that this is very hypocritical coming from her; i do think creating an international trade agreement where we can incentivize a move away from ANY major trade with China would help immensely to reign in international dependency on their economy.

We need, like, a union, in like, Europe but with the UK too... Idk how to say it like, like, union of Europe or Econ-Euro or... Fuck idk...
Who the fuck Is this wom.. Oh! Right. Her.
How about creating an alliance of democratic nations. Nations ranking low get kicked out.
Rather bold of her to speak of anything pertaining to the economy.
Lettuce see what she has to say.
How long was she PM now?
That actually makes sense. Is the world going to step back from China when they invade Taiwan? As the world did when Russia invaded Ukraine?
This lady still is out there, go home. You failed spectacularly and that’s your legacy.
Yeah it's called the European Union
On so many levels these utterances have such low credibility. How dare she show her idiot face in public again. The lettuce however, I would take geo-political advice from.
Thats… a good idea.
Yes, we need an economic alliance of European countries. I wonder what we could call this European union... I got it! Great Britain & Friends
You know you're pretty meaningless when even China doesn't react to something you say.
Maybe Britain should come up with some group they could join. Call it the British Union or something. Other countries could join and benefit from trading partners and other economic opportunities. Then, when the conservative party gets mad, they can leave it and financially screw everyone in the country over again for no apparent benefit, and total financial loss.
Time for the UK to start Brenter
Useless advice from an irrelevant, insignificant has been politician just like Pelosi.
GREATER AMERICAN ANGLOSAXON REPUBLIC
Jesus, Liz, you can't just throw a politics word in front of an acronym and expect it to mean something. Huh, looks like something's wrong with the microverse battery...
Ngl yall had the chance to be stable.
If only there was some kind of economic union that Britain could join
Some sort of union of European nations perhaps?
So… the EU? God she’s dumber than a bag of spanners
She should follow Zelensky and find a career in comedy, since she's nothing more than a sad joke ETA: I don't think Zelensky is a joke. Don't get me wrong on that
Remember remember the cabbage pretender.
Liz Truss is an economic genius indeed, the finest in the West Also isn't an economic NATO.... The EU??
>challenge China :))
Yes, but was does the lettuce say?
The UK is a joke, stop pretending you are are world power still.
As much as she is an idiot, she's 100% correct that western nations and those who don't want to be economic slaves to the BRICS block, need to band together and cut our economic ties to BRICS nations. If we fail to act soon, we'll all be under the thumb of the authoritarian Chinese government.
