She may have been in office forty-four days, but parliament was in recess for ten days of public mourning and eighteen days of party conferences during that period. So she managed to tank the economy in seventeen days. And she's going to be paid £115,000 per year for the rest of her life for doing so.
Putting my tinfoil hat on here but I think a deal probably went along and some more powerful individuals or groups offered her 115k a year to 'resign'. Politics do be a bloodbath.
The fundamental issue with Liz Truss as PM was that she had all of the dishonesty of Boris Johnson, but none of the charisma. She tried to copy his constant lying, but was hindered by being really bad at lying

Well that and tanked the economy overnight by giving tax cuts to the rich while paying for it by borrowing and freaking out the markets that dropped the value of the pound despite everyone telling her it would happen.
Serious point for a moment: the people of the UK had no say in the appointment of Liz Truss, and we'll get no say in the appointment of her successor. The UK is not a functioning democracy.
In Alberta, Canada, we are experiencing a similar problem. The Premier (person in charge of the province) quit before the provincial election. And rather than the people, his party chose his batshit crazy successor.
@@jordanfires9777 Incorrect. We vote for our local MPs, not for a party - that's proportional representation you're thinking of, and it would be a better system. However, we also vote on the basis of the party leaders at the time of the election. No-one voted Tory because they thought doing so would make Liz 'pork markets' Truss the Prime Minister.
@@sleepnomore6065 Liz Truss was appointed by Conservative Party members, from a shortlist of two options decided by Conservative MPs. Her successor will probably be too, unless Conservative MPs decide not to give the members a choice. Either way, the general public are not involved.
Liz Truss sided with transphobia before she become PM … so 😢 … we weren’t exactly optimistic when she started. THEN she wanted to cut taxes for the rich, and cut services for the poor. It spiraled downhill FAST. 😂
@@SerPodrick I live in the UK, we call GB the mainland, as opposed to the Isle of Mann, The Channel Islands, Hebrides, Orkneys, Scilly Isles, Northern Ireland. My point is still that the show used the wrong map and left out Northern Ireland despite talking about the whole of the UK.
There should be a competency exam created by the public to test Prime Minister candidates are qualified for position. E.g. in the event of scenario X how would you handle it?
This is funny, but it's also ignorance and expands on the differences between peoples, which is not so different to racism, because it's divisive. I think if he had an accurate take on the appalling circumstances not just of British politics but of British society, and see it's relations with the problems across the world, there would be very little to laugh about unless you think it's funny that we, you, have already destroyed the Earth and our children's future.

I'm just glad Trevor has stopped calling her "Liz Truce". Remember, "Truss" rhymes with "bus", the thing she threw the UK economy under.
Boris Johnson did that first throwing us under the Brexit bus!
😯
😂
Maybe he just assumed that it wouldn't be pronounced the same way as an athletic supporter.
As a general rule, a double consonant at the end of a word indicates a short pronunciation of the vowel.
I wonder who Netfllix will cast to play Liz Truss in the last 10 seconds of The Crown.
That 10 seconds could open a door to a lead role in a spin-off series: The Clown.

The best part of Truss's deservedly short tenure was when an Australian news team, reporting on the Queen's funeral, had *no idea* who she was.
i think the post victory party lettuce threw was 🔥

Look, as an Australian I can't really talk but... dayam, UK. Even we didn't revolving door them that quickly.
You laugh...but the Tories are wanting Bozza back...xD
Hey Bethgael, can you explain to me what did happen during your PM swaps. I never understood what went down...
People are actually joking about putting revolving door in no. 10
Maybe they should let us actual elect the PM this time
and cancel BREXIT for gods sake !

Capatilist big copprations are clearly on control of global politics
Isn't that what Conservatives do?
And Rishi Sunak isn't any better, he just hid his transphobia until later down the line when Scotland said "trans rights".
I also cried in the toilet a lot when I was in high school, ain't no shame in that🤣
Love the projected the lettuce on the HoP
If only our conservative politicians lasted this long

Ooo check out moonlite with the completely unoriginal immediately recycled quip.
@@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121 huh? what do you mean?
liberal/consevative is very unconnected from left/right in the world of politics around the world.
also, what is a quip?
@Samuel Powell yes i'm extremely right wing lol🤣
That was amazing!
I will predict now that the next PM will last as long as a potato
Brilliant!
But potatoes can last for years 🤔

Where's Northern Ireland on that map? Note to graphics; the UK is the correct map in this instance, GB is just the mainland.
@@ashtree7213 In geopolitical and geographic terms that's exactly what it is. Or maybe you have some kind of PhD and can enlighten me further?
@@lewilewis3944 no PhD, but on a typical map blue symbolizes water and GB is surrounded by blue...so...maybe it's an island....

This video explains why Sunak isn't going to Egypt.
Ha, toilet humo(u)r - so British
Now Rishi Sunak has become the British prime minister
Truss resigned as prime minister of the United Kingdom. The map you put up was wrong.
Have you ever thought that perhaps it's because some people don't recognize the British occupation of the Irish North?
Ignorance on showing a GB map rather than UK, or typical American cosplaying support for a United Ireland? I wonder...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WIPE if you use a Japanese toilet! Bidet for the win man! Once you go Bidet, you can't go back eh?
Ur so right

Actually, very true. Rich people cannot be messed with Liz!
They hold a massive amount of power to ruin other people's lives 🥺
She should go live in the woods for the rest of her days. Humiliation on a whole new level.
All true but Congress and the Senate ain't no better. I always had money on lettuce.
