I’m not a quitter, I’m a fighter
- Liz Truss
She is a traitor. She needs to be put on the rack
???? But she quit….fighters don’t quit. Smh 🤦♂️ great then I am duck 🦆
more like im a quitter, not a fighter
More like I am an idiot that wrecked the British pounds.
Gordon Ramsay: “Hey, you aren’t a prime minister either”
Following British politics is like Following a Comedy Series where no one know who is the protagonist or who is antagonist but both keeps on making lives of people worst
I’d take a comedy with the potential of something decent over the open air cesspit that is the States. A low bar I know but that bar is septic at this point
Well, you then have no idea about politicians in 3rd world countries.
@@Saaad2 ooh trust me I do I know the crazy stuff they do that's not useful for any one and stuff they do that literally worsen the situation the society is in but I have also seen decent politicians that do something that actually helps the future generations a lot but I have seen these politicians voted out by people who want a temporary relief than a long run advantage until hey realize the help they missed out on but any way there is good and bad In a political situation but this kind of behavior in parliament is not something that we would 3xoect from the so called far more " sociely better, civilized and advanced west"
@@Saaad2 bro what I'm see is there is power shifting west losing its power I mean let see in winter while they in energy crisis just because one country Russ1a stop their supply
American politics is even more of a comedy series
Imagine dealing with her humiliation the rest of your life.
Not so bad when u remember she gets $115k a year now
@@guywithreallybadchannelnam6184 $115k is all right but with a public humiliation like this, it doesn't come close. I'd be so depressed and hate myself so much. I really don't envy her at all.
I would take up drugs to cope
@@the.seagull.35 she cheated on her guy. So no shame.
At least she was honest enough to quit when she knew that there was no support for her or her policies.
How utterly humiliating. How she can show her face still after this is beyond me
FYI , She dont give a monkeys .. She has aquired a pension of 105,000 quid ....
She was threatened you fool!
I don't think she really cares, UK folks still pay her 129K every year after this. That's the true beauty of democracy, isn't it
for money...
She is just being PUTINIZED 🤣😜🤣🤣🤣
This sitcom never gets old. Hilarious.
Yes it's hilarious for the folks living outside the United Kingdom, for the ones living in the country (myself included) it's simply just exhausting and tiring at this moment to have them in office
Liz the Brief. That was way too perfect.
it's pretty amazing how Liz, the longest reigning monarch, died during the tenure of Liz, the shortest serving PM. what're the odds.

Own up Truss, the lettuce was a formidable foe!
Lettuce 1: truss 0

this is a PERFECT demonstration of how she’s a fighter and not a quitter. really proved her own point there
Such a fighter. Not a quitter!
Pretty sure she’s a quitter.
@@stlouisluv she went to fight against Russia
I think this is funny. She gets in, looks around and says to herself: what kind of mess did I get myself into? I am out. Boris needed many years to realize that. Funny....
That’s one way to look at it… lol
Boris caused most of this. He and Trump should get married.
She made the mess she got into. Even Boris wasn’t as bad as her
Truss Issue: In Truss We Don't Trust

Good one 😂😂😂😂😂
Now the question becomes will UK finally elect a PM that knows what he/she is doing.
No capable candidates are available.
Broh that's a questions every country asks itself it seems, much love from Puerto Rico✌🏼🇵🇷
I think the whole political and economic situation is so complex that it’s impossible for one human to figure out what to do.
She wasn't even elected, she was voted by only her own party. The next one won't be elected either until there is a general election, which The Conservatives will try their best not to call because they know they will lose.

One day later:
"I am resigning" - Liz truss
It’s quite poetic that the Queen’s reign started with one of the greatest PMs in UK and ended with one of the worst.
She took power when Attlee and Churchill dominated British politics. She died with Liz Truss. Its emblematic of the decline of Britain.
the worst and the second worst
@@yosserc Bevin was never PM
@@thescamp123 the queens first prime minster was Winston Churchill one of the greatest prime ministers in British history
The only thing I can compare this to is the 13 day shogun Akechi Mitsuhide. Look it up, different time period, different event, but the decision was awfully timed like this one.
There's a Netflix series called Age of Samurai : Battle for Japan that goes over the 13 Day Shogun and alot of other historical figures in the Japanese time of the samurai.
@@ryananderson4936 thanks for offering a completely unnecessary comparison that nobody asked you for. The fact you gave one that has so few parallels at any level is a credit to your ambition and how far ahead of your ability it resides.👍

This recent period of history has proven once again is not a fun time to be a leading political figure in most of the worlds governments because things are trending downward not upward.
History has a way of catching up to you.
Because few governments are for and by the people . They reiresent outside interests like WEF globalists etc.
Modi, Xi, Erdogan, Putin are doing well.
You can only see who’s a good leader during bad times.
@@davyroger3773 You really correct on this point.
As King Charles said to himself as he turned away from meeting her "Oh dear, oh dear..."
King Charles, you mean?
King George?
@@theactivelion4006 I am thinking ahead....I changed it.
I'm amazed you managed to make more than four minutes of video about her time as PM.
I hope we get another season of this tv show. Its absolutely bonkers and every character they introduce seems to die midway through the show
I’m pretty sure everyone who watches this show is crossing their fingers for a miracle to happen, like all the shows characters suddenly dying at once…it would be an amazing ending to send it off?
Her time in office wasn't a complete waste. In Hyde Park they built a monument to her - a bench.
I blame that small group of people called the 1922 Committee. They are at the root of every policy created in the conservative party and act shocked at the outcomes of their policy when things go bad
55 Tufton St. London.
The institute for economic affairs IEA.
The ERG (Brexit think tank)
Several other groups who all reside at 55 Tufton St.
She handpicked her own ministerial staffers from these groups and Emily Carver the head of media for IEA boasted shortly after Truss gained premiership that she was a regular visitor for a decade to these think tanks.
Led by donkeys has run another great video on YT.
This time exposing these very secretive organisations.
These think tanks have destroyed our country.
They keep their donors and donations as confidential information not appearing on their websites. Lobbists for energy corporations mostly of which Truss was a former employee for Royal Dutch Shell.
You clearly don't know what the 1922 Committee actually does
@@scotthaysom6780 Elucidate for us if you do
I think you mean the ERG
Liz Truss was overthrown. Truss should of turned interviews down and stuck to work. Truss accepted too many interviews. Barely had time to do any work. Derailed (maybe deliberately) before Truss began. People within the Conservative party did plot to remove Truss.
“Liz the Brief” what a title, WSJ!!!😂😂😂
Gave her a game of thrones title Liz the brief lol
That is not right. You should call her, Liz the Panty!
I’m not a quitter! I’m a fighter ! I'm a proud champion of Britain's gig economy! - the Late Liz Truss
don't talk about my next Uber driver that way!
This presentation was eerily similar to "Alice goes to Court", from C. Lewis' "Through the Looking Glass!"
At least she's willing to admit that she can't do the job!
What?! To think that you'd be ready mentally and physically to Hold the HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE COUNTRY! and you're saying as if like it's a small matter 💀💀💀
She says I got my pension vetted I’m outta here…
😂😂😂
WSJ should state 90% of UK pensions could have gone bust within days of the market panic, if central bank didn't step in
And they might, but this is not their video....
Can't wait for Jonathan Pie's take on this
The longest serving monarch in the uk died in the term of the shortest Serving Prime Minister in the Uk
can't wait for The Crown S10 showing her and the queen's funeral and the King's reaction to the private audience lol 😂
Some interesting newspaper headlines that I anticipate : "Liz Truss leaves UK economy in DisTress"
"Liz Truss TresPassed into the Forbidden Economic zone and got ousted from the ForTress"
"Mistrust in Liz Truss sends her home on the 6 o'clock buss"
It is not funny when a quarter of Brits can't find money for 3 meals
Yes exactly, Connor also told Khabib before the fight, “I’m a fighter.” And the rest is history.
"I am a fighter, not a quitter" at least this quote was motivational
Thanks, dear WSJ team, for this summary! What an utterly short spectacle. Hard to believe that this is really politics. Seems more like theatre & show business!
2:40 a legend
She should have been arrested and charged with crimes against the British people. As E.L.O. sang, Evil Woman!
Excellent report, thank you.
@Aldo R It was short report, and they hit the key points, no need to go into great detail.
Hello please reply me
"I'm not a quitter, I'm a fighter"
A week later.....
Kwarteng be like, "Yo Liz, Whazzzup, welcome to the club!"
I didn't even know there was a new prime minister lol.... I thought things were kinda just flowing without one still
I can't wait for historians to write their pamphlets about her reign.
this aged well "i am not a quitter, i am a fighter."💀💀💀💀
It's just beyond my grasp how a leader of a country be so incompetent and so disconnected from reality at the same time , this is really really disturbing while Rishi sunak was already warning alarm about economy of uk
Rishi is as responsible as anyone - he has been campaigning for Brexit since he was a lad.
Clearly, there was no trust in Truss. I hope the UK gets it right, soon.
wow this video ended so abruptly?
Just like her time in office..
I most sincerely admire the dignity that the outgoing Prime Minister had for Her Late Majesty. His Majesty King Charles III knows how kind of a lady she is.
You do know that Liz Truss originally suggested abolishing the Monarchy right?
Whilst she was Lib dem party member.
Thats what makes her such a fake.
I heard that last "Liz The Brief" part wrongly as "Liz The Breeze" which did make a lot of sense to me she came and she went away... like a breeze 😂
she made a huge contribution for the country... now when ever u say to any kid 'u could be the next prime minister' ur not going to be lying!
The definition of "Wait. So it's already over?"
Lettuce rejoice
From time to time I go back to this.
Ready to go back to this again?
Does she get a prime minister pension for those grueling 45 days??
£115,000 per year , for the rest of her life .
"I'm a fighter not a quitter"
*Quits in 45 days*
She quit within hours of saying that
Ngl i wouldnt say no to her ;)
00:54 u can see rishi clapping in the second row .. thinking of 'ahh she's going into the frying pan'
Sunak had very correctly predicted the consequences of her approach but much of Western media ridiculed him because he is brown.
No, it was because he was a man going against a women in a modern western society. Stop making it about race.
Reminds me about story called, "The Boy who Cried Wolf"
@@internetguy123 oh so its about gender then? 😅
@@piepolay2343 well its better for their image if they make it about gender rather than race. You know how woke the people are when it comes to genders
Or perhaps the backstabbing she received should concern the average citizen, who is now called upon by the financial markets to foot the bill in the form of higher taxes for their fiscal mismanagement.
@Whats🅰pp±⓵⓼⓶⓹⓷⓺⓪⓷⓶⓹⓸ Maybe the geniuses who had the power to tank the markets to prevent the PM from lowering taxes aren't the best people to lay your trust in.
The Fed has too much power!
This video is almost in real time.
Can someone briefly explain for me (someone who’s major is not economics) what’s wrong with cutting down taxes?
Nothing wrong with cutting taxes, but it seems unsensible to fund them by borrowing money. The whole thing didn't seem to be very well thought out, with Truss even admitting they "never laid the groundwork".
@@Jeorgy92 thanks !
@@Taevas___ now it’s clearer.
Lol Joe at the ice cream store talking foreign affairs 😂 might as well turn the ice cream place into the Oval Office
“Liz the Brief”
Can't believe you didn't mention the lettuce!
Truss "I'm a fighter, not a quitter" ... quits ... 🤔
People laugh at her, but she inherited the bulk of this mess from her predecessor. She is by no means faultless in the whole sordid affair, but honestly her term started six feet under.
True, she was in a hole to start with but then she kept digging and made an even bigger mess than before.
Well she has better attitude than any officials in my country. They are incompetent but still so stubborn to stay in government no matter what.
When you’re just playing for achievements.
Her decisions cost the British public tens of billions.A complete incompetent and walks away?She should be investigated by Scotland Yard.
Now she gets 110 thousand quid a year as a pension for being an intern PM
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
The thing about been successful is working toward it and not going the other way round..
You are right. Been thinking of going into gold and crytocurrency..
It's obvious everyone is doing this online Investment..
She is obviously the best, trading with him gives me joy of earning.

I always get good returns when i let her handle my account. As a beginner this is what you should go for to avoid incurring losses...
How can I contact her ..

In a year full of many worthy potential winners, "Bellend of the Year 2022" goes to Liz Truss. She narrowly shaded out Vladmiir Putin, in a competitive field, to claim this years prize. Prize Bellend that is............
Liz The Brief. Is one of the bravest, strongest and truthful person I have ever Known
If this isn’t sarcasm please get out more
This video is longer than her Prime-Ministership
Mission shakti.. Women's empowerment😍
When Sunak offered her his support she should have said YES. His support would have made a difference.
Think so too... Synergy.. Tories...
Bad timing, wasn’t much she could do. Still, the UK needs a more conservative prime minister.
Until Truss, our shortest-serving PM was George Canning at a mere 119 days in 1827
Truss notched up a mere 49 days - not even a full calendar month
Truss is the person who easily succumbs to fear
All I know is people got rich after all this. I bet
Well, she's no Margaret Thatcher but at least she'll be remembered in world history for something: a meme.
As an American the British cutting taxes and they get upset. Us Americans trump cut taxes and big companies smile.
She wasn't cutting taxes for the people.
She was cutting them for the wealthy only.
The average person would have been £50 better off a year.
Anyone earning over £150'000 would have been upto £55'000 better off. No one, not even many wealthy earners agreed to that. It caused a public outcry.
She failed or refused to propose a windfall tax on our energy companies who made billions in profit during the pandemic and her decision damaged our economy so bad the Bank of England (independent of government) had to step in and bail out to the tune of 65 billion pounds. That debt will be passed down over time to the next generation.
Evidence suggests they deliberately shorted the pound. Disaster economics always makes profit for those wealthy investors.
Our pension funds have lost a percentage as a result. 30% in some cases as private shares were affected. Interest rates are threatening our mortgages after the BoE had no choice but to raise the rate.
The pound only rose again after emergency plans were instigated by the BoE.
Those losses even for a short time will not be recovered.
We are still left with a £40 Billion gaping hole in public spending so our health care services/all public services will suffer at the worst time possible with cuts to funding.
7 Million people are waiting for serious operations cancer treatments etc right now.
They put a price cap on energy charges but it is still way above what most families can afford to pay.
That was another U turn after weeks of ignoring and refusing to install any price cap.
And all the while this government have blamed Putin when it was a mess before the war and declining for the 12 years they have been in office.
But don't worry. The Tory ministers gave themselves a pay rise last year.
Whilst opting for a below inflation rise for nurses..
Is there any chance the US can invade and take our government out?
We offer free cups of tea and biscuits.
@@ljt3084 US already shepherd's UK's foreign policy like it was a vassal state. So UK can come under US government by simple referendum 😂
Imagine if US leaders resigned instead of doubling down when they made stupid mistakes that hurt the public? We'd have a new prez every month.
When did this Sitcom release?
Well done🎉
I am from Spain, my friend in Texas referred me to this channel you make a lot of sense but I do not understand anything until she referred me to a financial counselor in USA that help me to craft my portfolio and over a year we have been working together making consistent profit enough to get me a new apartment and care for parents.
@Johnson Roland it is not a he. It is a lady. I see most things she says and use to carry out trades are done by Steve. that is how I know she knows what she is doing. in her technique of over night trading she says she use stop loss and take profit strategy. She trade on her account and it reflects on your own
@Johnson Roland I have referred a few of my friends, she is working with them currently and they have improved greatly with their finances. I have made 153,000 usd since Nov with a capital of 10,000 usd that i initially deposited, she collects her fees after you have made profit and her style is such that I am in control of my funds and to a large extent also what happens on my account
Sometimes in life u gotta give up
Too many world leaders take too long to own up. At least she recognized she isn't good enough and resigned within 45 days.
Hi, sorry, I can't understand what the man says at 2:40?
Liz Truss is a trend in British politics.... Nationalism, populism..... It is a by-product of Brexit....Truss's rapid ascension to power was a product not of her being “capable” but of having mastered the art of "blasting talking points and slogans" which matched the political climate of her time.
A beautiful sight to behold.
Did she qualify
for a pension ?
Yes
Sadly.
Like her or not, leaders needs to have presence and charisma. Figureheads who instill trust in the public. How on earth was this woman elected?
By old rich people during a heatwave 😂
Party members who are relics from the empire voted her in
Because the majority of the public didn't elect her. When the prime minister resigns, the next PM is chosen by the party, not the public, and the PM is still a member of parliament. The Conservative party chooses leaders where at first MPs within the party vote in each round where each time the candidate with the least votes is eliminated until it's whittled down to two, at which point members of the party then vote between the two finalists
