- After chaos in the financial markets, members of Truss’s own party began to turn against her.
Liz Truss became the shortest-serving U.K. prime minister and the first since Winston Churchill to serve two monarchs when she resigned after just 45 days in power. WSJ’s David Luhnow explains how her premiership came crashing down. Photo illustration: Adele Morgan

I’m not a quitter, I’m a fighter
- Liz Truss
???? 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”
I'm a quitter, but now an Uber driver! -- Liz Miss Truss(t)
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 🤣😜🤣🤣🤣
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
I would take up drugs to cope
@Danny Dolan 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.
@@Bk6346 let me assure you, it was an illusion of choice
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.

This is, I assume unintentionally, the funniest video I've seen on UA-cam in months.

@@iSirLincoln 해서
@@iSirLincoln Monty Python was a documentary not a movie
No it’s not
And now we also get the Draymond Green apology video. What a week!
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
She knew she was quitting then. It was just for show.
"I am a fighter, not a quitter"
One day later:
"I am resigning" - Liz truss
Conservatives alway lie
At least she resigned her prime ministership unlike Donald Trump Sr the US presidency (even with his having agreed to leave the White House on 20 January 2021 GMT before the swearing-in of Joe Biden Jr).
Own up Truss, the lettuce was a formidable foe!
Lettuce 1: truss 0
😂😂
Iceberg Dim
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
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

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.👍

Truss Issue: In Truss We Don't Trust
Ms.Trusst
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.
@@noopSiesNife naw someday there will be a 200iq person who can
“Liz the Brief” what a title, WSJ!!!😂😂😂
The longest serving monarch in the uk died in the term of the shortest Serving Prime Minister in the Uk
Yeah the irony 😂
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?
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.
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!
"I am a fighter, not a quitter" at least this quote was motivational
Gave her a game of thrones title Liz the brief lol
That is not right. You should call her, Liz the Panty!
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.
Not a fan …
King Charles is another waste of time sitting there watching the country being given away
I'm amazed you managed to make more than four minutes of video about her time as PM.
It was like a second by second recap, very impressive!
She says I got my pension vetted I’m outta here…
😂😂😂
can't wait for The Crown S10 showing her and the queen's funeral and the King's reaction to the private audience lol 😂
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.
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....
Her time in office wasn't a complete waste. In Hyde Park they built a monument to her - a bench.
She should have been arrested and charged with crimes against the British people. As E.L.O. sang, Evil Woman!
This presentation was eerily similar to "Alice goes to Court", from C. Lewis' "Through the Looking Glass!"
Can't wait for Jonathan Pie's take on this
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"
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 can't wait for historians to write their pamphlets about her reign.
Yes exactly, Connor also told Khabib before the fight, “I’m a fighter.” And the rest is history.
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 💀💀💀
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.
Kwarteng be like, "Yo Liz, Whazzzup, welcome to the club!"
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.
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!
Y'all are dogging on her, but at least she left b4 she did anymore dmg. Most leaders should have done that at some point...
wow this video ended so abruptly?
Just like her time in office..
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
Clearly, there was no trust in Truss. I hope the UK gets it right, soon.
This is exactly what Africa needs,leaders being held accountable for their action..
As a (white) continental European, i'd much rather live in South-Africa, Kenia or Ghana than the UK. Just sayin.
@@DolleHengst Because you have a choice.....

2:40 a legend
"I'm a fighter not a quitter"
*Quits in 45 days*
She quit within hours of saying that
And now she's running around the us, giving her, admittedly expert opinion, on the idea that Kamala isn't qualified or competent.
On the plus side, I get the sense she'll be america's problem soon. We might even give the yanks suella braverman as well because we're just generous like that.
Admittedly expert opinion, I love that haha
I didn't even know there was a new prime minister lol.... I thought things were kinda just flowing without one still
The definition of "Wait. So it's already over?"
"I'm not a quitter, I'm a fighter"
A week later.....
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
Liz u be PM and run the country
yes u can!
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.
“Liz the Brief “
😂😂😂😂
Lettuce rejoice
Funny how the shortest serving PM in British history was appointed by its longest-reigning monarch
Does she get a prime minister pension for those grueling 45 days??
£115,000 per year , for the rest of her life .
People: lower our taxes!
People after realizing the mistake of their actions: get out of office prime minister!
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.
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
The Fed has too much power!
What blows my mind is shes being treated like an authority on the new budget.
Truss is the person who easily succumbs to fear
Wednesday: "I am a fighter, not a quitter!"
Friday: "I am resigning"
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 truss best performance is at her best doing cartwheels as Lady Godiva she is amazing !
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.
45 days longer than she should have been in office …
When you’re just playing for achievements.
She has no dignity. She never even thanked or acknowledged Sunak.
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.
Mrs Stacy successful stories are everywhere, all over the place..
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 ..
Wowowoow❤❤❤
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.
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 😂
“Liz the Brief”
I would be so ashamed to be related to her.. how embarrassing 😳
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.
00:54 u can see rishi clapping in the second row .. thinking of 'ahh she's going into the frying pan'
Mission shakti.. Women's empowerment😍
A beautiful sight to behold.
Bad timing, wasn’t much she could do. Still, the UK needs a more conservative prime minister.
Lol Joe at the ice cream store talking foreign affairs 😂 might as well turn the ice cream place into the Oval Office
I’ve always felt since Brexit UK has been going through this slow painful death. If this is the best leadership Britains got, the death is going to be whole faster!
We need every world President and Prime Minister and all the multi billionaires to discuss this madness
Truss "I'm a fighter, not a quitter" ... quits ... 🤔
When Sunak offered her his support she should have said YES. His support would have made a difference.
Think so too... Synergy.. Tories...
This video is almost in real time.
Prince Charles kills me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Charles is not a prince now. It is King Charles.
From time to time I go back to this.
Ready to go back to this again?
Ngl i wouldnt say no to her ;)
What a WASTE of tax payers monies giving her a salary politics at its LOWEST what a CIRCUS
All I know is people got rich after all this. I bet
The longest reigning monarch died during the shortest serving prime-minister.
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 😂
I never give up,I never give in....in 45 days she gave up,gave in...
Growth Growth and Growthththth......thank you Mrs Truss the iron Lady with high fist power.
SAME PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES . . DIVISION , GREED AND MONEY
Yeah kinda the same problem as the US. Incompetent and weak conservative leaders who are in way over their heads.
this time it's religious. all the greed was used to build up humanity's one foe. the satanists that run rome.
