The situation in the UK is not easy. The tax cut on high incomes has caused a stir (although in the end it has not happened), the pound is not at its best and everything indicates that Brexit is causing more damage than expected at first (if If you want to know more about it, Magnet has made an interesting analysis about it).
One of the proper names that is in the eye of the hurricane is Liz Truss, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the Conservative Party since September 2022. She has only been in office for a month, but the news about her dubious management is non-stop It is even rumored that she may suffer a blow that will lead her to lose her chair, as we read in general media such as 20 minutes.

Given this situation, Truss has conducted an interview with the well-known journalist Beth Rigby on the Sky News television channel (you can see it on YouTube). Beyond her words, another element has unleashed the controversy in social networks (especially on Twitter): the choice of his style.
The prime minister appears with a relatively relaxed countenance and a look “too informal” for some Twitter users. With a classic camel blazer, a white blouse, black pants and sneakers (including patterned socks), politics seems not to have satisfied part of the British people with his appearance.
Are the white sneakers Liz Truss is wearing *today*, code for something? Because I have a theory, but it is so outlandish it can’t be correct.

The debate is open. Some users are against, “How can you relax in sneakers in the middle of this crisis?”, “Liz Truss has reaffirmed my lifelong commitment to never wear white sneakers when there are suitable adult shoes for a work day” or “I know this isn’t a big point, but is it just me or is Liz Truss wearing sneakers? It’s as if his feet have already given up. Hopefully the rest of her gets the message.”
Others, on the other hand, seem to have nothing to add.“Okay, no problem with that” and even take it with a certain humor, “Does Liz Truss wear slippers for her one-on-one media interviews so she can escape getting caught if she doesn’t know the answers?”
Did Liz Truss wear sneakers for her one-to-ones with broadcast media so she could scarper without getting caught if she didn’t know the answers? pic.twitter.com/Y88c6EJBFr

What is clear is that the facts support that the British people have more important problems than to be aware of whether their prime minister appears wearing sneakers or stilettos. We also take the opportunity to question whether the controversy would have arisen if the protagonist had been a man and not a woman.
