the woman is actually very mentally ill
She's truly bonkers
Truss didn’t control interest rates. The central bankers do and they wanted a recession to control inflation, Truss wanted growth because she knew most of the inflation was coming from price gouging. That’s why she was ousted quickly using a banker funded smear campaign.
Opened new pork markets in China though..😂😅
A complete waste of oxygen and air time.
She is a Tory.
remember fellow citizens, we are paying her £100,000 salary for life for her 50 days useless work as a PM.
Most Premier League footballers get that every1-2 weeks!! Peanuts!
The majority of our population aren’t premier league footballers and £100k isn’t peanuts to those people.
Pedantically, it's not a salary, it's an allowance for expenses related to doing work to represent the UK (but yes, she does not deserve it and if she had any character she would not claim it)
@@marviwilson1853 Difference being the tax payer doesn't pay for the Premier League players wages, rather football fans do. Secondly, football players are being paid whilst doing their job, once they retire from being a player then they have to find another job. Liz Truss is being paid this allowance for the rest of her life.
@@Boghopper1979 Probably the best way to put it.
This person was actually Prime Minister. Mind-boggling
She's completely delusional. The only person she's fooling is herself.
She lives in a self congratulatory echo chamber. She's getting her confirmation bias from somewhere.
@@mrdaveythebabyInstitute of Economic Affairs..Tufton Street think tank.
What about the 35.000 people who voted for her?
@@ane-louisestampe7939Some voters would vote for anyone wearing a blue or for that matter red rosette.
@ane-louisestampe7939 sounds about right. 35k out of 68million.
Do NOT buy her book.
Yes, stay ignorant. Don’t read 🤡
Is her book called
"queenie how I invented green" ?
Apparently her book's just a word salad.😊
@@RS-jb1lf She didn't say don't read. She shaid don't buy!
But go to the library instead of putting your money in the salad bowl 😉
Why are they even interviewing her? If we ignore her maybe she will go away.
Shameless. Absolutely shameless.

Agreed
There's something deeply wrong with Liz Truss. She needs help.
because of her...we all need help.
Yea it’s medical
She wanted to abolish the monarchy.
Yes she need's help to make LOTS of money, Trump is showing her all of his "GRIFTS".. What's she selling next "bibles or trainers!.
Liz Truss is the kind of politican who... makes me very convinced that no one should be allowed to get into politics, without a thorough psychological evaluation. Its a public health matter.
No need for your book Liz, I'm already fully stocked on toilet paper
😂😂😂
My behind deserves much better
What your still using the guardian?

No shame, no regret, no humility. Imagine the sheer hubris of this woman.......
Stop being manipulated by the media please.
@@sonofsomerset1695how is this manipulation? This woman wiped billions off the books in one week.
@@kakpraat18 She explained that was a result of the bank of England decisions and particularly the LDI issue, whatever that is. As much as people hate her, its important to work out what is actually true. It would be concerning if there are unelected bureacrats running the country rather than who we elect.
Agreed
@@kakpraat18 yes, but to be fair, she had lots of help - interest rate changes are a zero sum game, so if they go up - look who is winning and who's really in control. It was not Liz, sorry. Her mistake was to speak like she had power when she had neither power nor consensus.
Why is she floating around America trying to sell her book and not at home working for her constituents?
Her job is being covered by a lettuce
Because the British people have her sussed, Trump is USING her for his own political benefit!
Doesn't know the meaning of the word work.
To make even more money.
That's not fair, Jacob. The fact is, just like Farage, she was attending a Trump rally where she appeared on stage to make a speech. What other British politician would we criticise for such an unhinged act ?
Vote her out
Oooh, your votes really make a difference
It's just unbelievable that she cannot accept any responsibility for her own actions
thats because its not her responsibility.... bitter people just need someone to pin their own issues on.
Its unbelievable that people have been told what to think when it was obviously a coup to get Sunak in after he lost, they didnt have a new vote did they? Get a clue.
Agreed
She caused suffering to an entire country and now she's just trying to sell her book

It wasn't her it was the Bangsters.
btw I don't like her or her party but this is not her fault.
Well, she is a Tory...
Her free market economics created the situation whereby the banks had the power of life and death over our countries. She's just sore that her idiotic policy almost tipped over the vast private debt pile (which is intertwined with the public debt)

Why is she being given so much media this week, is it purely to sell her book?
The right wing media offshore billionaires use her as propaganda they do with Nigel Farage Richard Tice reform UK trying to convince Work class people to vote against their own interest. They will buy this nonsense as long as they blame asylum seekers and immigrants for the reason they are not doing as well as, they would like
Bingo
The media has to keep demonizing her to cover up the coup they helped.
She put herself in the news by publishing a book
Everyone is taking the chance to jump on her head
They are allowing her to dig her own grave 🥳 people need to remember what she is really like 😉
Tories have wrecked the country
Wrong, some MP's have. Can't blame everyone.
purge their influence if not anything else theirs
last pms have been tories what ru on about
Westminster has wrecked the country, their collective behaviour during Covid was truly awful, and they threw the economy under a bus.
Labour is not going to make any difference, they, like the Tories, are part of the systemic issues with not just our economy, but all Western Economies, they have become institutions, they no longer serve the people.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course she doesn't. It's all someone else's fault. Always.
In terms of interest rates, those are set up by central banks.
@@redioactivDon't tell a lefty facts they don't like them!
@@keithmarshall8796 what sent Liz out of government does not seem a lefty plot.
Her hypocrisy is obvious, as she actually blames the policies of previous Conservative governments, since 2010, but then says she still supports the current government, which kicked her out and replaced her polices with more of the same!
Liz Truss is unfit for politics…
Claudia. Webbe
She can't even think quickly! She just muddled along hoping her brain will catch up with her speech!! No one can give her any credibility at all, completely deluded.
Unfit 😐
Think we've gone past that term now, hey.. a long long time ago
She's an oxygen thief
All conservatives are unfit. This new Labour included.
At some point they're going to have to consider sectioning her, not for her safety but ours.
You'd have to section at least half of Labour voters first before you'd bother to section her.
Why do we have to see liz truss still
Why not, she's no thicker than anyone in the Labour party and we have to see them.
She's flogging her book and the media is playing along for the sake of most of us throwing tomatos at her, giving them attention
We need to see her so that we never forget 😉
She is even more out of touch after her disastrous time at number 10. The media should stop feeding her the publicity
They are smearing her.
we are helping her to sell the book lol!
This just needs to stop. National embarrassment, she shouldn't be on public broadcast.
I despise this woman.
Me too. Thoroughly
She has no shame. unfortunately she is still a MP. She is working in America making a fortune she has £115,000 a year budget to run an office .security and free travel for the rest of her life and a pension of over £100,000 a year. what she likes about America is privatised healthcare massive wealth gap and terrible workers rights.
She has made the life of taxpayers much more challenging - and is getting paid by the taxpayers for the rest of her life.
Truss didn’t control interest rates. The central bankers do and they wanted a recession to control inflation, Truss wanted growth because she knew most of the inflation was coming from price gouging. That’s why she was ousted quickly using a banker funded smear campaign.
and she will probably retain her seat. Tory voters are beyond help.
The only thing worse than a tory voter is a Labour voter.
@@sonofsomerset1695Nothing is worse than voting tory, maybe Reform will be on a par.
@@royboy565 why reform? they have never had power? is it cuz your a raving leftie? 🤣😂 much worse on any scale

Whilst I agree Tories are beyond help, this lady is the most shameless i ever listened
She’s trying to sell her book vote her out
The Tories- the party of "taking personal responsibility".
Amen! Theyr never responsible for anything! always someone else's fault
The words Psychopaths and Responsibility should rarely be in the same sentence! Rishi has the God complex, she has the Thatcher complex.
Spent half a billion on Brexit. Disappeared.
Is there anyone left who she hasn't blamed?
Agreed
She is totally responsible and her legacy is FAILURE
She is deluded beyond belief! Before the mini budget she was also warned by Rishi Sunak that her plans were going to be a disaster and the markets would react negatively. But she was too arrogant and deluded to realise her policies were a disaster.
She is not deluded, she is just willingly lying.
warned by rishi sunak? 🤣😂 nothing fishi there then🤣😂
@@easynow6821No just simple economics
@@DonnysDilemma Yeh the simple economics of give me your money and shut up
She's really struggling outside of her echo chamber. It's tough when people quote facts at your bs...
She’s the only person in the UK who thinks it wasn’t her fault.
Her political career is over.
49 days in power... 'I'm not saying i got everything correct '.... totally delusional
And the only reason that she lasted that long was that the country came to a standstill for 3 weeks after the Queen died.
Everyone’s fault but hers.
Everyone's fault but the Bangsters that actually made the problem..
@@shamanahaboolist The globalists had to force her out, they wanted Sunak because he was a banker and a globalist puppet, so when she beat him they had to find a way to still get him in, and the media hated her because she wasnt following their net zero propaganda.
@@shamanahaboolistTruss made the decisions, the free market which she champions reacted. End of story. Truss's fault.

There's no such thing.
@@shamanahaboolistThe tories keep banging on about freedom in the finance sector which is their Temple. So tell it to the tories.
She has no self awareness she is appalling not to accept her part in the fiasco
If it had nothing to do with the mini budget, why sack Kwasi Kwartang?
So the globalists could push hunt into place, ready for her to be usurped ans sunak installed
Deluded! Remember tories don't do blame.
Because she was forced to by the Sunak cabal that was trying to push her out after their globalist puppet lost to her, but thanks for asking.
@@royboy565And labour do? Keep em coming😂
Even for a Politician, she has the biggest ego going. Absolutely shameless with no insight.
Did she seriously just answer a question from the British people about her time destroying the country, by saying "well buy my book, pay me money, and the answer will be in there"..... She should be locked up.
Yeah .She actually thinks people would be stupid enough to buy her book
@@thomasoroarke7789 I mean people are going to vote for a Labour government next apparently, so there are plenty of stupid people out there for sure.
Only sensible thing she ever did as prime minister was resign so quickly 😂
The best political advert for Labour. Liz Truss rinse and repeat. Liz Truss Liz Truss Liz Truss Liz Truss Liz Truss Liz Truss Liz Truss etc
It appears that LT has a mental health issue and needs medical help.
"Former Prime Minister Liz Truss" (for 49 days) . 🤣😂😉🤣😂........ WHAT A JOKE!.
It's called a coup.
Stop giving her so much air time.
She can never come up with a spontaneous, original response. It's always a laboured, memorised answer which she has to access from her memory banks. And every bloody sentence has to have the word 'delivered' in. What a very strange, awful woman.
Why are people still interviewing this person as if she were a serious politician? She just churns out the same crap.
She took all her advice from the “Institute of Economic Affairs”, a right wing think tank, that takes donations from large corporations & wealthy individuals to advance their interests.
Precisely
Truss didn’t control interest rates. The central bankers do and they wanted a recession to control inflation, Truss wanted growth because she knew most of the inflation was coming from price gouging. That’s why she was ousted quickly using a banker funded smear campaign.
Watching this conversation is insane. Does Truss think she's making any sense at all to a reasonably intelligent person?
She is the Crappiest Prime minister my pension lost thousands due to her
No it didn't, that's a blatant lie.
@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo most pensions did. The UK writ large is worse off because of her failed minibudget resulting in further global erosion of confidence in the UK market.
@@gigitrixIt was never implemented!
@@keithmarshall8796 markets moved on the PM being a dingus and never recovered. Loss of trust in UK institutions has a direct impact regardless of what goes into law.
"Mistakes were made, but not by me."
She is like a schoolchild blaming everyone else.
'None of it is my fault and I explain why in my new book, go and buy it!'
We've had inept and dishonest leaders before but Truss's dereliction during and after her premiership is astounding. The correlation of her government's fiscal policies and the increase in mortgage rates is clear.
She has obviously forgotten that she had already apologised when she was still trying to cling to power in October 2022.
I really worry about Lettuce's mental health. Delusions and paranoia.
The only lettuce are people that cant see this was a blatant coup to get Sunak in after she beat him. Or did he win a new vote....? Nope.
She shows no ownership or accountability
Those are marks of being an adult. She is at the developmental stage of a toddler.
This lady needs medical help..
Deluded and even worse she still thinks she is right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shameless, delusional and now she’ll enjoy a salary of £115,000 for life after serving a few short weeks as prime minister! Is this fair to the UK tax payers???
How come she never said anything about the Bank of England in all the years she was a politician?
She is an absolute waste
A lettuce has a lot of uses.... Truss not so much
Truss didn’t control interest rates. The central bankers do and they wanted a recession to control inflation, Truss wanted growth because she knew most of the inflation was coming from price gouging. That’s why she was ousted quickly using a banker funded smear campaign.
It's time journalists felt comfortable calling lies "lies".
Sky would have to hire some real journalists first.
Won’t buy the book … there’s cheaper toilet paper out there …
Truss said, 'I didn’t want to exacerbate the problem by making things worse." The word, 'Exacerbate,' means, 'to make worse.' D'oh! She can't even form a sentence that actually means something.
industrial scale deflection.
She keeps banging on about a mandate… what mandate did she have? Those tax cuts were not in the 2019 manifesto, and she was elected by less than 1% of the UK population…
How many was Sunak elected by then? Oh yeah, 0%, thats called a coup.
She did not have the intellectual capability for the top position,
and the same applies to her then Chancellor of the Exchequer. A PERFECT STORM.
Whereas the intellectual giants in the Liebour Party couldn't find their arse in the dark
Utter rubbish...quite the opposite.
GIRL BYE!
Why isnt she at home in her constituency serving her constituents??
no money in doing that.
It's cringing to even watch this stop giving her air time
We need Liz to stick around and keep mixing it up for Ritchie Sunak and his rat pack government.
Please do, every time she speaks the Tory vote goes down. It's now at 19%, let's get it sone to zero!
Her delivery with that weird hand stuck in half pointy mode is like a robot - her whole presentation and way she talks is sooooo weird robotic
Shameless plug, I recommend not reading her book, maga Liz back in Washington?
Imagine having that little shame... yikes.
She was warned that her budget would be a disaster and she carried on regardless. Unbelievable.
Was she warned that Sunak was planning a coup with media like SKy and the BBC though, maybe she wouldnt have given in to it sop easily if she had been.
Didn't even meet Bailey. No negotiation skills at all. No proactivity whatsoever. Zero initiative.
I think that anything to do with interest rates is responsibility of the CENTRAL BANK. And this is the same for the EU and USA, etc, etc...The journalist here sucks!!
The state of the economy has nothing to do with her and what she did or didn't do. If anyone thinks that, they know zero about the economy and politics.
She is like a bad smell, is there a way we could get her to go away?
Vote the Conservatives out. If she is one MP in a rump of 150 Conservative MPs she is less likely to be listening to.
Liz Truss had nothing to do with rising of interest rate. The Bank of England is independent and raised interest rate. The Bank continued to raise interest rate after she resigned.
Naturally orthodox economists at BOE always believed that over supply of money is responsible for inflation irrespective of the nature of the nature of the inflation
The reality is that the mini budget was good intentioned. The Markets and Bank of England torpedoed her leadership
Still wearing the leash...ffs she's somebody's pet...she has a collar and lead...she's a dog.
Tuftons
She’s a classic example of Dunning Kruger effect
I thought this was a sketch for a moment then 😂
Deranged 🤪
Labour don’t need to spend money on party political broadcasts , just put this video on a continuous loop 😮
Where is the lettuce?
Clearly looking out for the interests of her constituency who are uniquely worried about the state of Washington DC
Still growing on her head.
Backhanders made these decisions not her. Sunak and BOE had to step in to stop/reverse the damage
Politicians are the problem not the solution!!!
So what is the solution; anarchy, dictators, monarchy?
Democracy remains the least worst option
@@Boghopper1979 I think we should fracture the UK into small kingdoms, each the size of a postcode, led by a warlord. Get rid of all laws. Survival of the fittest.
From a french perspective, seeing that this is the best UK can produce is delightful
In a serious country - she wouldn't be allowed to a speak after what she did, she would have been terminated
She was basically a PM for two weeks. The other two weeks was a state funeral and no politics was held in it.
And what a shame the late queen had to endure this person in her final days! The PM's she met that lead her government and this was the last!! Surely a demonstration of the slow and steady decline of Great Britain
So ignorant
Wrong. She has an education in economics. She is right, the issue was down to BoE not hedging inflation with rate rises earlier and asleep on LDI crisis. Also Sunak printed £500bn and reckless with it during Covid. Her £45bn was just 10% of that. Her book spells it out clearly.
@@RS-jb1lfAt Oxford she studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics which is a very broad subject. So it’s not really accurate to say she studied Economics.
@@RS-jb1lf First everyone blames covid. Brexit has done big damage to jobs , vat ect.
If it was sunack why did the mortgage people do what they did in response to Liz truss’s actions not sunacks it’s because she radically changed the economic plans. Also under sunack currently the economy is recovering however that is a natural occurrence and everything will always be this expensive plus more in our future.
@@RS-jb1lf😂
It is absolutely terrifying that someone this delusional is capable of rising to the top job running the country.
My mortgage went from £365 per month to £684 per month. It’s a disgrace. The BOE is much to blame. They set the interest rates and the banks set their rates.
cry me a river.....

*"I was Captain of the ship, but I didn't sink The Titanic, it was the iceberg's fault!"*
More like someone screamed the ship was sinking so they could take over as captain despite never being elected.
How DARE she come back and think she still has anything worthwhile to say EXCEPT an apology after what she and Kwasi Kwarteng did, which so far hasn't been forthcoming! Because of that selfish narcissistic woman, many people will have had their pension pots decreased and mortgage payments doubled or tripled! Not one word of an acknowledgment of the repercussions of her political actions in 2022! I HOPE SHE LOSES HER SEAT! 🤬🤬🤬
She is correct. Zero interest rates are a distortion of the market and don’t reflect reality. Money needs to have value.
Interest rates need to be double what they are today.
Gold prices are an expression of how the market will eventually crash because of government overspending and forthcoming hyperinflation across all Western economies.
She most likely hasn't got a mortgage. On another planet these criminals.
The governor was making reactive decisions to her mini budget.
To sabotage her...
@@shamanahaboolistWhy would the BOE do such a thing? Nobody including them benefit from such a stupid action.
"50 days to trash the UK" would be a better title for her delusional pamphlet.
She had the right ideas. But the wrong backing and some long knives against her
Liz Truss seems to think shes rather smart, its surprising she can only point fingers rather than synthesis the combined effects of her policies and the other effects going on at the time.
