My sister is an International student in the UK. The crash of the pound coincided with her tuition being due, it saved her $7,000 CAD
Unless you transfered more money for later I don't know what you're bragging about
Her fees were 70,000 CAD ?
@@auldfouter8661 Cambridge Law is expensive for international students
@@auldfouter8661 International students pay way more than home students, foreign students is where a lot of the money comes from for the university
i was an international student for 2 years, brexit vote tanked the pound in the summer in between. I was beyond happy being like, 20% richer overnight lol
Spoiler: Liz Truss was paid by Boris Johnson to make him look like a pretty competent Prime Minister.
I doubt that, although I wouldn't be surprised if Boris supporters voted for her for a similar outcome knowing Truss's policies came from 55 Tufton St. and not from 10 Downing St.
Yep, it's all a plan to enable his return...
(A big of a joke BUT actually it IS certain the Tufton St always intended to replace her with Johnson once he was rehabilitated and memories had dimmed) ... But it wasn't intended to be SO BAD!!
She's the best liberal democrat in a while...
But compared to Liz Boris does look like a pretty competent Prime Minister.
@@vincilo8835 yeah. Impressive in its own way.
Elizabeth II’s last official act was to appoint Liz Truss as Prime Minister. Charles III’s first official act was to accept Liz Truss’s resignation. Truly, she left her mark on British history.
sheesh
she's bad omen
truly a politician of all time
To think the queen started from Churchill and ended with Truss, both are now in the history book, well, for very different reasons...
Her rule SURVIVED the LONGEST REIGNING monarch of the uK^^
I think we can all admire Truss for being a truly revolutionary politician; she actually managed to overthrow herself - and it record time!
If a new prime minister made it their sole aim to ruin their country and their party in as short a time as possible I doubt they could do so half as quickly as Truss. I'm genuinely impressed at her disaster speed run.
disaster speed run any percent xD like honestly I would have never thought that the pound would freefall like that lol
the thing is that it would be impossible for one person to inflict this magnitude of damage by themselves no matter how much they wanted to. The only reason she could achieve this remarkable feat is because she had a whole cadre of other tory politicians, newspapers and "economic" think tanks surrounding her and backing her up at every stage. Until the inevitable consequence of what they've been campaigning for came to pass of course
Any% WR right here
Our inflation is better than any other country in Europe ( so why is this Labour benefit scrounger lying)

Not sure about the single handedly
libertarians in government!!! let’s go!!!
I support Liz Truss because she ruined the UK.
Looked at the date this was posted: "19 hours ago".
Looking at the first news report I could find of Truss resigning: "18 hours ago".
The timing of this video is BRILLIANT! 😄
Rare day when US politics actually look remarkably stable
One need to remember, she spent like a good week or two not working cause the queen funeral. So it is less time than this. Truly epic speedrun skill
I still can't believe someone could lose about 10 seats per day....
If causing disasters were an art Liz is the Picasso of it
By the way as a Liberal MP she was anti monarchist
Can't wait to see her in next year's GDQ
It was part of her Speedrun strat. She didnt stay stil, she was building up Speed.
Liz Truss speedrunning PM.wad Nightmare any%
Truss vs Sunak was like the difference between telling people what they want to hear versus what they need to hear.
People want to listen sweet poems rather than bitter lesson
People just wanted something that looks like them.
Sunak isn't even that great a candidate! The Tories have drained themselves of literally dozens of prospective cabinet ministers and PMs to the point where the remaining candidates they can put forward pretty much top out at him. At some point the Tories have to be willing to call a general election if only to find a way to "restock" and rebuild. Imagine Labour got to choose the next PM before that - who would the Tories even have in their shadow cabinet?
@@PhysicsGamer Tories are a colossal mess!!
this is unfair against the people, because this was literally a government reshuffle done inside the chambers
There's not much I want in life. A house, a car, and a decent job. It's getting annoyingly difficult to do this
Sunak: Provides reasons and their effects
Truss: I reject that
I believe she is the best prime minster we have ever had because she managed to bury the queen,the pound,the tory party,one chancellor and the UK government in less than 1 month.
She'd make a great French monarch :D
I agree with most of what you say, hard not to really, it's incontrovertible. But the comment about the late Queen is an unecessary, un-funny and counter-productive cheap shot. It tarnishes your piece and you.
@@petercook2787 nah queen saw what truss was doing so she said "Nah , I ain't having any of this"
@@petercook2787 We're defending colonizers? Whats new honestly
@@petercook2787 It's been almost two months, you can stop pretending to be sad now.
The queen always did love her little jokes, and croaking right after truss won was one of her best.
My girlfriend thinks truss killed the queen and trashed the economy on purpose. She's not sure who put her up to it.
🤣🤣😂
Plot twist: the queen just pretended to die to get away from truss
It would have looked suspicious if Truss had disappeared right after topping the Queen.
Guess that makes Truss the funeral prime minister
bro i went to check the approval ratings and i found out she resigned 💀💀💀
I feel bad for those in 70 years who have to learn all of this in school.
"I'm a fighter, not a quitter" then quits next day. She was really good at U turns.
Vehicle manufacturers have been closely watching these latest events to determine if Truss'spolicies can be used as a revolutionary technique to reduce traffic accidents; if sensors on the front of the car detect a collision about to happen, an audio clip of her talking is played and the car will immediately U-turn even if it breaks the laws of physics.
She’s not even original enough to come up with that quote. She stole it from Peter Mandelson, another lazy, uninspiring grifter
Maybe she fought and lost.
She was a fighter - She was just an Anthony Eden sort of fighter
She was fighting to increase her government pension and won by being prime minister briefly.
Truss' approval rating matching Prince Andrews just says it all.
She had no support in the House so she promised ministerial jobs to members who would never have been let near any government responsibility in normal times. The resulting incompetence is actually quite impressive.
how do you go from "best prime minister" to "at least she's not Prince Andrew" in one month? That has to be on the "ruin your reputation any%" speedrunning leader board.
Truss should be negative -100 make Prince Andrew look good then lol.
Let this be a warning to the world what happens when you elect anything libertard. I don't think being popular with conservatives should be taken as anything with any positive qualities.
liz truss did to britain what prince andrew did to children
@@Ass_of_Amalek I didn't know children could have their own national economies.
Wow, Truss really just beat the PM failure speedrun world record by like 60 days. Impressive.
Well done on partnering with Brilliant for this vid, it's probably the best thing that can be said about today's events
Liz Truss wasn't all that bad...
My girlfriend made fun of me for not lasting long in bed, which made me very sad. But then, I looked at the news and saw Liz Truss lasting even shorter as PM, so I was no longer sad.
Thank you Liz!
Looool
That was cursed af
Dude, your girlfriend knows nothing. If you last longer than 45 days in bed, you are godlike.

Oh if only she resigned before my class…
This is such an excellent UA-cam channel! Thank you for everything you do!
She literally just quit?!?!
This video was spot on
Orda orda
I think it was a quit or get tossed type of situation
@@elvangulley3210 we miss the Honorable John Berwick.
Wanna know the worst part? Despite inflation being revealed to be 10.1% this week, the bank having to stop bailing out the government, the home sec getting fired, the chief whip resigning and hundreds of calls for Truss to go, the £ still hasn’t crashed abnormally this week.
This means that despite this week being one of the worst of this year and a week that’d, in most countries, be a governments make or break week, investors and traders haven’t reacted or run away. They weren’t fazed by this at all.
Just think about that for a second; the same people that start rewriting their wills every single time someone at the FED uses the loo, didn’t react to the literal real time collapse of a government. It’s insane, it’s unprecedented and it proves just how little they expect of the UK and the tories after the last few months
Lol well said.
Well, they will be there to pick up the pieces
I think the saviour of the pound is the fact that so many powerful entities (both polities and privates) hold a lot of pound and don't want it to crash too much. Maybe wrong of course as I'm not an economist but it seems to me that the dynamic that keeps the dollar afloat in any and every situation applies, writ small, to the pound too.
@@cyrneco The Pound used to be able to buy the same goods at the same rates (or better rates) as the constantly-inflating Euro.
@@JoshSweetvale Yes. But, if I'm correct, the Euro hasn't climbed much anymore. So what do you mean in this context?
Hello from the US, I followed these events bit by bit from our side but I had trouble fitting it all together, I thank you for making it accessible
I woke up to this video and then an hour later she resigned. What a strange time for the UK.
Rishi : It's not gonna work, it's a fairytale.
Truss : I'm in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts.
Don’t corrupt lovely Alexander Rybak 😭
Rybak for Prime Minister???
@@ILikedGooglePlus Yes he should start a party with Larry the Cat, they’d win
Truss: I don't know what I was doing... when suddenly we fell apart.
🤣🤣
What I hope (possibly a naïve hope) is people will remember this: Truss' budget is what a fully armed and operational modern Tory government looks like. It's what their donors and wealthy members (
You are absolutely right! I'm shocked by all the cons railing against truss when she is trying to apply the nutter randian recipes that they have been proposing for years! Do folk actually listen when right winger cons talk about 'small state', 'tax cuts' etc?
Forgetting doesn't happen in a void.
Lies make it happen.
Lies on print. Lie-bel if you will.
Mess with Putin and Xi at your own peril...
They didn't show you who they trully are, because they tried to keep up the alure by not cutting spending, which is why this shit show took place. A true libertarian would not struggle to cut the budget along with tax cuts. The problem she was continuing big government while cutting taxes, forcing them to borrow more money to fund the government, in an environment where the central bank is tightening the money supply. If they had been strong in their convictions they would have cut spending instead of raising taxes. They simply don't have the balls to reduce the state as they know it's unpopular among the people as too many are dependent on state funded wellfare.
Don't you think this is all pre planned? These people don't do anything without thoroughly thinking it through. Another big distraction so you don't look this way at what's really going on.
If all the bad stuff happened that quickly isn’t it likely there were some deeper structural problems that need to be addressed
"I'm a fighter not a quitter"
Lol
Sometimes I'm depressed and don't really know how I should deal with these terrible times we live in. But then I can go to bed and smile because I know at least I'm not Liz Truss right now.
Yes and yes 😅
She is an evil doer and deserves worse than she has received.
Hate to break it to you, but after next week, she'll be put on the PMs retirement plan and be paid a great sum of money for life, she get crazy book deals as the most stressed and shortest PM in history and then she do a round in the speaker circuit. She's gonna make a killing selling her connections too, this while those who lived under her will suffer.
IDK, I'd gladly take her salary for doing absolutely nothing of value.
The money is worth the humiliation, the ego would cushion it anyway
Destroy your party's reputation any% speedrun world record:
She's going for the 100% speedrun 🤣
@@mrcaboosevg6089 and.... she did it
The Tories never had a reputation. They just had enough rich donors, in order to buy enough votes of british citizens (them, on the other side, not known for their extraordinary feeling of honour/price, but rather for their extra low price).
I don’t understand much about politics. So, big thanks to this channel for joining me in on the conversation and being the sole reason I’ve been able to keep up with this fiasco.
How people are so easily fooled by media
Liz Truss's time as Prime Minister, feels like a hoi4 mod focus tree in which someone is self sabotaging as Truss to try to get a really easy Labour playthru.
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one with that thought, but I'm terrified of the idea of multiple people thinking that way. Seriously though, this feels almost exactly like the funni administration in "That One Mod™," where the whole point is to make it possible for the opposition to ever win again.
Its amazing how many of the conditions of the 1970s that lead to our joining the EU seem to be returning. From the cold war to rolling blackouts, not forgetting industrial relations, economic instability and changes of leadership.
uk is finished
Being part of the EU wouldn't help with any of the issues we have. Even if we were still part of the EU every single problem would be just as bad.
Rejoining rn would actually cause more problems as well
@@maalikserebryakov yeah no, it's *staggeringly* hard to collapse a nation, especially a developed economy with not a lot of social instability. Is the current government finished? Yeah they'll be tossed out of office sooner or later. Is the entire system of the United Kingdom done? Nope.
@@loowyatt6463 I don't follow. What negative consequences are there for rejoining the EU?
@@loowyatt6463 being part of the EU would definitely help the British economy which would definitely help most of these issue, get your facts straight
There are lots of mixed opinions about stocks and there projection in the next coming years, I aim for short term solid gains from market correction and I'd definitely jump on the boat if I knew a thing or two about day-trading, but then again what do I really know? I'm just looking for the right moves to grow and hedge my stagnant reserve of $370k from inflation.
it's all hype! best to ignore the trend at the moment whether bullish or bearish, and stick to a proper trading plan preferably with expertise assistance.
@@Natalieneptune469 Yeah, more reason I enjoy my day to day market decisions is that I'm being guided by a portfolio-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time, both employing profit-oriented strategy and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downtrends, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis, it's quite impossible not to outperform. Netted over $1.5m in return on investment, since using a coach 2years and counting
@@tradekings5433 Talking about coaching, do u consider anyone worthy for recommendations? I have about 80k to taste the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... thanks
@@Alejandracamacho357 I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, ''Corinne Cecilia Heaney'' turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.
@@tradekings5433 Thanks, I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
This video was very well timed.
I'm still calling it suspicious that the Queen died less than 48 hours after meeting with Truss.
She probably gave up and begged God to take her quickly
She definitely knew...it was time for Charles to clean up this mess she thought
Isn’t it also true that some of Sunak’s supporters lent their support to Truss because she was seen as a better final opponent for him to face than Mordaunt. Anyway, Truss is a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, demonstrating perfectly how dangerous a combination of extreme incompetence and arrogance can be.
Does mordaunt current position does have significant power to the cabinet? I'm not brit and didn't know how much leader of the house truly are. It seems she was one of closest truss colleague.
@@218kq I think it’s impossible to say right now - all we do know is it’s utter chaos and has been for weeks, and any Tory MP with an ounce of integrity should be pushing for a general election as it’s 100% clear that’s what the public want and what would be best for the country.
I mean I think it was more a case of 4th place Suella Braverman pretty much backing Truss in the immediate aftermath of Braverman's elimination that led to Truss (barely mind you) finishing second in the MP's vote. Truss owed her premiership in part to Braverman's supporters.
Braverman is now gone, after resigning/being fired yesterday from the position of Home Secretary and dropping a grenade of a resignation letter on the way out.
I mean former Truss supporters being angry makes sense. Truss and Kwasi didn't even tell the fellow cabinet members of some of the more extreme parts of her mini-budget, namely the parts that led the markets going into free fall.
Truss thought herself above her cabinet, above her MP's, above her party, above the markets, above the OBR, above the majority financial establishment, above the majority of her party members and above the British people. Liz Truss is probably the most arrogant PM this country has ever seen, and it backfired in her face spectacularly pissing every off in the process.
@@calumbishop7082 it’s the most spectacular blow up I can remember in all the time I’ve been aware of politics (which goes back as far as Thatcher). Just stunning arrogance; I put myself in Starmer’s shoes yesterday - having to stand across from the weirdly smug look on her face, I would have been livid. Surely it’s all over by tomorrow? But I kind of hope she stubbornly clings on until a GE is the only answer!
Literally a terrible example of that effect completely irrelevant in fact
I honestly hope the videos on the TLDR channels are archived for future generations to watch and understand what happened during this time.
Dollars or Pounds? At least twice in this video, the audio said one while the graphics read the other -- and one of those was of by a factor of ten, too! I appreciate the work you put into these presentations, and I get that this week has been crazy so you've been very busy, but I thought I should point it out.

7:24 (on second watch, the graphics caught this slip up)
It appears that your video made Truss finally resign. Thank you
LOL just learned this from scrolling the comments. You can't turn away from the Truss show for a moment.
At least Liz managed to secure 115k annually for herself indefinitely

Guess she just did it for the pension.

How someone so useless and incompetent could become a Prime Minister is very disturbing
If I had a nickel for every British prime minister resigned not too long after TLDR made a video as to why their unpopular I’d have two nickel which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
I still don't get it why resigning is so popular for British prime ministers...hasn't it been like four tory PM's in a row now resigning in like 1 or 2 years? Or months in this case, lol...
If I had a dollar for every British Prime Minister that couldn't finish the job (until their term ended or got voted out) I would have 17 dollars... which isn't a lot of cash but that's a lot of Prime Ministers!!

So! We started work on this video at the beginning of the week, after seeing comments from people (especially those outside the UK) who were left confused how Truss had collapsed quite so quickly. We wanted to provide a timeline of events (this video) but clearly a lot has changed in just the last 24 hours. The video is still totally accurate, but if you were hoping for more detail about the most recent events then apologies that wasn’t included in this video.

It is time that say that TRUSS was elected because SUNAK isnt WHITE???
I know you guys must be crazy busy churning out all the (good) content you do, but by about halfway through this vid, there's at least 3 instances of numbers said not matching numbers on screen 😕
Us Brits should vote for the next prime minister. Liz Truss and only Tory candidates campaign for the job. Call it the Prime Minister general election or election for Britain's new Prime Minister and whoever wins will stay in office until the next general election
Must be tricky keeping on top of this level of incompetence.
@@LordRaxyn You have to understand under the British Constitution the Prime Minister doesn't get 2 months to prepare for the job. Under the American Constitution the president elect gets 2 months on the job training from the current president. The president elect sits in on meetings in the oval office. Goes with the current president to meetings at the Pentagon and spends time video in Congress studying the process of democracy. Our Prime Minister is given the job and thrown in the deep end.
Watching this on 5th of March. You've summed it up well! What a crazy month and a bit that was!
Incompetence married to arrogance.

Liz Truss just speed runned "being PM any% & being able to form a government". She has topped the leader board.... 🤣
Sunak : when i predicted the future u guys didn't believe me, now we can just watch how worst it can go
Liz : no word's
this is a design of Sunak and Boris, not Lizz, she excuted it.
Truss should do the right thing and call a general election to put the tories out of misery
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a convention in the uk for called a ge if the majority have changed their leadership? To get the legitimacy in power.
It’s genuinely the best option for the tories too - the chaos is only going to get worse from here on out (whoever replaces Truss is also going to be hated by 2/3rds of the party, because their party is torn to shreds right now), and if they step aside they get to blame the coming financial and energy catastrophes on Labour, and it’s gets them out of the brexit corner they’ve painted themselves into too - they can just claim brexit would have been great, if only Labour hadn’t messed it up.
It'll help the Tories in the long run, Labour will cock up eventually same as every government has and the Tories ten years down the line will have sorted the party out and offer hope. The Tories simply can't win the next election no matter what happens so there's no point in delaying it, give Labour a chance or some coalition... I voted Tory and honestly if they keep going like this they're going to completely destroy the party
@@mrcaboosevg6089 it seems like UK politics is a constant cycle of each party making a complete disaster of the country, and the next party coming in 10 years later to mop up the mess (and get to work on their own disaster)

she doesn't compromise. she goes straight to surrender
How does the polling work in UK? How can someone be negative 10%?
Negative compared to the opposition
Net approval ratings are calculated by approval (9%) - disapproval (70%)
a net approval rating is calculated as positive - negative
so for example let's say if 10% approve and 70% disapprove
10% - 70% = -60%
Oh, thank you all

Why can’t Sunak replace Truss?

Because Sunak is a puppet of the WEF and is pro EU. He is also one of the "super rich" many of Trusses critics seem to hate.
Shocking that another brexit champion finished the job of driving the UK economy into the ground...and had no idea how to fix it...
Thanks for this summary. For me, as a Dutch person, it was very unclear what had happened. What a mess.
wow. the uk is so turbulent rn a video explaining the situation has literally aged like milk within the first 3 hours. that's almost impressive.

Today Prime Minister Truss is on the way out after just 45 days in office. She resigned, but will remain Prime Minister for the next 8 days until a successor can be chosen. That gives her a tenure of just 53 days. According to Wikipedia, it's the shortest overall term in British history.

How stubborn do you have to be to honestly still support the tories/truss at this point?
How stupid do you have to be to trust in politics at all?
I know someone who is still determined to vote Tory at the next election, and I'm ashamed to say they're part of my extended family. She and her husband (who to be fair isn't very political) fits all the stereotype boxes - retired, financially comfortable, white, Daily Mail reading and bigoted. All she needed for her to be onboard with Torydom was the beating of the culture war drum and the promise of sinking all the little boats those "brown invaders" were coming in on.
Frankly I don't think she has the intellect to comprehend the financial and social damage the Tories have caused. All that just goes over her head and she doesn't care. I think she's what Americans would call a "low info voter". I'm genuinely frightened that there are millions more lower middle class boomers just like her who will all be back to being true blue the moment a GE gets called.

Ah, Liz Truss! Unpopular among those of the public who knew who she was, unpopular among MPs, but weirdly appealing to the sort of vibes-over-data self-destructive loon that forms the general bulk of Tory party membership. Great choice for Prime Minister, perfect representative of the party as a whole.
I'll be over here with popcorn. Watching a conservative party set itself on fire and then try to put itself out by repeatedly smashing its face against a brick wall is putting me in a wonderful mood.

Will Charlie3 have to do a Whitlam style replacement of the Pm or perhaps the whole govt?
Unfortunately they will continue to take down the rest of us with them.

When Truss says "we haven't been tough enough on monetary supply", she means: "we haven't tipped the scales enough to the benefit of the ultra-rich". According to Truss, inflation can be mitigated by giving enough money to the billionaires and multinationals, to prevent them from raising prices".
The idea that if you increase the margins on the finances of the ones with the best margins, they will shrink it back by putting the extra money back into the economy, with no incentive other than "you have enough", is so stupid it begs the question whether this liberal is trying to fool herself, or her constituents...
Libertarian became such an inverted nonsensical ideology didn't it. So it means freedom economically for super rich, but less freedom for absolutely everything else what an oxymoron when they want to shut protest down and have the state interfere with everything.
Exactly this.
Tax cuts can work, as long as an incentive for spending exists.
No incentive just means less “income” for the government, resulting in less overall cash flow and thus destabilising the economy.
The rich in England saw what the rich in the US have been doing for decades and said “I want some of that!” and have been following the same playbook. Use the public’s ignorance and prejudice to get their people elected, then cut cut cut. Did they remember to gerrymander the districts to keep themselves in power?
I think the theory is that rich people will invest the extra money into businesses which will create more jobs. But they might alternatively buy a yacht manufactured overseas which doesn't help the UK economy at all. There are such better ways to stimulate the economy, such as funding a bank to support small business investment loans, or building infrastructure. Government should just do the things that need to happen instead of giving money to rich people in the hope that they will do the things that need to happen if you just wish hard enough.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191
That’s definitely the “theory”. Trickle down theory, but like social darwainism it’s twisted logic meant to support evil behavior. You don’t invest in a business because you have money - you invest because your business has more demand you need to meet. Without the demand, there’s no reason to invest. So the only way to spur development is to spend - buy product, buy services, give money to those who will buy: the poor and middle class. The money will make its way to the rich, but they will have to invest it to meet demand.
The pound was not just at a 37 year low against the dollar; it was at it's lowest since the inception of the dollar!
Wow. This was extraordinarily good.

The next general elections are in 2024. Does that mean 2, 3 or 4 PM's later ?
I'll be astonished if Truss is still there by weekend.
2 finished off by Brexit. 2 finished off by rank stupidity. What a tally.
HELL no.
I think what I've learnt from this, and what shocks me, is how fragile everything is. I genuinely wouldn't have thought it possible for the Pound to crash that much.
I suggest you look at Jeff Sniders videos on the Eurodollar system. It's a huge, shadowy, limitless interbank debt system. That's where the problems lie, and the UK is a big part of it, along with Switzerland.
everything's possible, there's no certitude, and there exists nothing that you can invest that will forever be a safe value, be it gold, housing or bitcoins. So try to live a worthwhile life, enjoy the ride and relax
@@artificialCartoons Might be quicker to look at what happens to bond yields when you announce massive tax cuts funded by borrowing.
As a Canadian, I thought Brexit would wreck the UK, but I didn't expect it to be so fast or so catastrophic
The segue to the ad at the end was smoother than butter.
I was afraid that "the writers" of the "Berxit" reality show were getting out of fresh ideas and it was getting boring to watch UK politics, but I was wrong; With bringing Liz Truss onboard, they again deliver high quality entertainment every week.
PS: This only applies if you live outside the UK. For UK citizens and residents - I am sorry.
@Pierre In ... and now they are kicking her out :(
It's okay, self-depreciating humour is the only value in modern Britain that's on the rise. Tbh though I really don't see how a government could fuck up as thoroughly as the current conservative government has been doing; it's almost like they want Britain to crash as hard as possible so they can go to their European retirement homes and get hi-fives from all the EU bureaucrats who'll never have to worry about another independance movement. Ofc, that assumes they're smart enough to think that far ahead which I doubt; we're just seeing how shit our government is without the EU to carry their flaws and blame their problems on.
@@Neion8 To be honest, I think the government was shit when within the EU and is shit outside the EU. I don't think the EU has anything to say much here. It's pure homegrown incompetence.
Really, I missed the last few seasons. I got to binge watch to catch up.
@@todortodorov940 yes, but now they don't have anyone to blame anymore.
The UK needs to go into settings mode, activate Full Factoy Reset and clear out all Tory and brexit spam that is corrupting its operating system.
Needs a good defrag as well. Hasn't had one in twelve years!

Need to add far left appeasement to that too

FINALLY something a Tory says I can agree on.
I don’t feel like she’ll resign, purely out of pride. If she goes before January, she’ll be the shortest serving PM in UK history and I doubt she cares for the title
The shortest serving PM with the second shortest Chancellor and the shortest Home Secretary.
@@jamesgravil9162 shortest perhaps
but also most effective.
Yeah, Johnson did a similar thing by holding out until he had at least been in the job longer than May.

Can you guys just have a general election already to give Keir a shot at fixing this mess?
Watching this a year later from the US, where we just ousted the Speaker of the House for the first time in history and then had the House of Representatives go into recess for a week, preventing the election of a new Speaker. We now have no way to pass budgets or make new legislation until we have a new Speaker.
