TWITTER users reacted to Liz Truss’ acceptance speech, with some saying she missed an opportunity to reference Kidderminster.
During her speech after being named the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss paid tribute to her predecessor Boris Johnson, saying she was “admired from kyiv to Carlisle”.
Asking the line, broadcaster James O’Brien said on his LCB radio show: “Why didn’t she say Kidderminster?”
He added: ‘It doesn’t even start with K – Carlisle’.
Mr O’Brien, who grew up in Kidderminster, also pointed out that the new prime minister had “mispronounced” Kyiv.
