There is more to it Liz Truss than serving the shortest term of any British prime minister in history. The former leader of Parliament has been the subject of many viral memes, many of which continue to overshadow her role as prime minister. One such viral conversation (and no, we’re not talking about the lettuce) has resurfaced recently, regarding a necklace that some believe suggests the politician into BDSM.
Back in September 2022, rumors regarding a necklace that Truss regularly wears started spreading on social media. To the uninitiated, the necklace may seem very average on the surface but many in the BDSM community noticed that the necklace looked very familiar. Truss’s necklace was very similar to an O-ring collar, an accessory “submissive” members of the BDSM community, often called subs, wear. Many of the subscribers wear leather O-ring collars while out with their “dominion”, or home, partners and some wear a more suitable version for the day for daily wear.
As many Twitter users have pointed out, the Truss necklace looks somewhat like a day collar. The former prime minister is rarely seen without her necklace, but talk of a BDSM conspiracy died down after she resigned and disappeared from the public eye.
In a separate essay for The Telegraph, Truss details her time as Britain’s prime minister and analyzes what she believes went wrong after she was elected as her fellow MP. She writes about her fellow party members, the loss of trust in the government, the collapse of the economy, and more information about what contributed to her downfall. The 4,000-word essay is very readable, but that’s not what the internet paid attention to. All eyes were focused on the reappearance of the necklace.
When she returned to the public eye, Truss made sure to wear her favorite controversial necklace, which quickly brought back the plot. Some speculated that Truss’s continued wearing of the necklaces despite the popular BDSM controversy was proof that the former prime minister was a true subordinate and did not care about the consideration Others picked up the conspiracy as if they were waking up from a fever dream that they had (somehow) forgotten in the last few months Truss had left after her retirement.
We doubt we’ll ever get confirmation or denial from Truss about the nature of her necklace. While she may be aware of the rumors, it’s just as likely that she’s never heard that she’s part of a major Twitter conspiracy (or that she’s been hit with lettuce). In the meantime, we can expect more viral moments from Truss as she tries to make a comeback after her short stint as prime minister.
