According to the Mirror on October 23, the outgoing Liz Truss spent her last weekend at Chequers Court after her 44-day term as prime minister failed.
The outgoing Conservative leader hosted a grand banquet for aides on Saturday after entertaining ministers at Chilterns' lavish 16th-century mansion.
When Truss was ready to resign, the Downing Street staff burst into tears. She told them, "Don't worry, it's all over, I'm relieved." And she said, "At least I was prime minister."
She also threatened to poke a consultant in the leg and regretted appointing former Taxpayers Union chief executive Matthew Sinclair as her chief economic adviser for "preaching" to her.
Truss "once said that if he continued like this, she would poke him in the leg". Someone responded, "He never shut up." 10 Downing Street did not deny the reports.
It is understood that according to government regulations, Ms. Truss funded the entertainment out of her own pocket.
Britain's shortest-serving prime minister has kept a low profile after issuing an 88-second resignation statement on Thursday.
Keir Starmer asked her to refuse a £115,000 a year budget to cover her office costs in her "special role" as a former prime minister.
In addition, she will receive a severance allowance of £18,860, double the £9,094 she actually earned during her tenure.
But she will lose the special prime minister's pension, equivalent to half the prime minister's salary, because the welfare scheme was scrapped in 2013.
Netizens:
What she did brought suffering to millions. She is a shame for us and herself. There is nothing to celebrate here.
"At least I was prime minister..."
illustrates the greedy ambitions and false patriotism of the Conservative Party.
I said she looked evil when she became prime minister. Sadly, I was right.
Absolute liar!
More and more gatherings and people are starving, worried about heating.
Can't make it up.
She is a typical conservative who cares only about her own satisfaction.
Shame, ruined the lives of thousands of people, and partyed.
The miracle of indecision.
She has never been a prime minister!! She had no clue!
If you start a new job, like a painter, firefighter, milkman, customer service, designer, or any job you name it, and you stick with it for 44 days, can you really say you're up to the job?
She may have been prime minister, but she certainly wasn't.
Not a very nice person, she has all the words written all over her face.
For the rest of her life, £115,000 a year, the cost was borne by taxpayers.
Hope she doesn't get £115,000!!
"At least I was prime minister." Perhaps she should reflect on the fact that she was the shortest-serving prime minister in British political history.
Shameful... The Conservatives have no shame... There is not a shred of integrity among them.
The way the Conservatives behaved reminded me of the last day of the Nazi Party in the Berlin bunker, where they so deceived themselves and did not respect the most suffering, but only self-protection and self-pity. Irritatingly, it is the general population that is most affected.
