British Tank Commander Lady Is Also a Stylish Fur Hat Lady

When she’s not commanding a tank in Estonia or annexing Rostov and Voronezh to Ukraine, the British Foreign Secretary is getting that all-important fur-hat photo in front of the Saint Basil’s Cathedral for her Instagram. Hey, deterring Russians from an invasion, and kicking them out from Voronezh (1942-style) is all nice and dandy but they do have the best backdrop in the world for a fox hat.

Yet again photos everywhere of Truss in fur hat wistfully posing as Thatcher in Moscow with the tiny photo credit “Simon Dawson/No Downing Street Handout”. Don’t know how U.K. newspaper industry has allowed this to happen. More Pravda than Prada.

The Russian media have been mocking Truss's fur hat relentlessly. It's currently above zero here in Moscow, many degrees above the average temperature for this time of year https://t.co/b9EXNRFWlW

Liz Truss clearly been in Mr Boris Benns dressing up box this morning and plumped for the "most painfully stereotypically Russian costume" on her trip as first foreign secretary to visit Russia in 4 years 🤦🏼‍♀️ #LizTruss #EpicFail #NationalEmbarrassment #ToryCriminals #ToryShambles pic.twitter.com/3fpbGcvi7W

First we had the tank picture, now this. Liz Truss must surely be the least imaginative woman in the world. pic.twitter.com/XG3ZIHvWKt

Lucky for her, she can do all the travelling in a private plane and when back home, she can relax and host birthday parties at Chevening House.

All, for taxpayer's money… pic.twitter.com/sqNzICM74Y

Why do people like Lavrov have to sit through meetings with Instagramers? Great Britain, you’re not sending your best.
