To sue for defamation, Liz Truss has to show "serious harm" (section 1 of the Defamation Act). The more you retweet this the easier it will be for her to show serious harm leaving her nowhere to hide when she doesn't.
You know what to do!

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.
Ronald Reagan had them removed.

I think we have to be prepared for the same election interference he ran in the US to be run in the UK and Elon wants Farage in number 10. Don’t ignore this now because it’s coming.

That’s not trolling the UK govt anymore - that’s straight up campaigning for a political party in a foreign country.
It’s serious.

A right wing paper that has *never* had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind.

You helped grenade the place.
