AH, happy Easter everyone! As daffodil bulbs start to blossom, chocolate eggs get unwrapped, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated - Liz Truss is hanging out with a lamb outside of an abandoned church.
Yes, of course she is. Why wouldn't she?
The former and much-missed prime minister posted an Easter message on her Twitter/X account on Sunday morning which confused users of the site quite a bit.
Truss can be seen marking Easter with ... a lamb ... outside an abandoned church ...

"Did she just find a lamb near an abandoned church and pick it up, or did she bring the lamb to the abandoned church specifically?," comedian Jack Bernhardt pondered.
The more you consider it, the harder it gets to form a response to that question which isn't completely bizarre.
Some pointed out the church was quite metaphorical to how she left the country after her 40-odd days rein.

Another quipped, "Great pub tae visit....The Lamb and Lettuce" with reference to the famous Liz Lettuce.
Writer Tom Sutcliffe admired the post, stating: "I love the details here. The shuttered church surrounded by temporary fencing, the broken signpost, the lamb thinking 'Where’s the deep state when you need it?'"
Comedian Armando Iannucci reacted with: "The words say ‘Happy Easter’ but the eyes say ‘This is going in a casserole".
Fellow comedian Joe Lycett, potentially the number one fan of Truss, quickly emulated his idol by holding a makeshift lamb outside a construction site while wishing his followers happy Easter.
Happy Easter everyone!
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
