"Ten Days to Wreck the Economy" is the only book Liz should be writing.
Agreed
Populist nutcases all confuse global markets with "the deep state"
That would of been far more appropriate title for this ghastly book of her's.
Mind you that would been telling the truth or confessing and Liz doesn't do that.
Never forget that the Tories put her in charge of running the country.
You misspelled "ruining".
I would point out that there is blame to go around here, "we" as a nation put the Tories in a position to make that call, yes she was an horrific PM and pretty dreadful human-being but the whole process of how she got there can't be ring-fenced around the Tories, although I could be incorrect they didn't change their leadership rules and in the UK we don't elect a PM.
@@mjc8281 I didn't voty Tory I voted for Corbyn. So my conscience is clear.
The membership not the MPs and the MPs did not like that.
@@thegoat11111The self-congratulatory note of certain comments on this thread (as elsewhere) is discouraging.
Since we don’t have a Presidential electoral system, I didn’t “vote Corbyn”, I voted for the local candidate adopted by the Labour Party.
Until such time as the Labour Party shifts its policies away from its current “centrist” position I will continue to vote for the Labour candidate endorsed by the national party.
I realise that some on the Left would rather spoilt their ballot than compromise their beliefs.
I don’t think that’s an effective way of changing the way we live in this country.
Feel free to disagree…
4:40 "And because she's a mathematician..."
Er... No she's not. Her father was a mathematician. It's not hereditary.
Thanks for the info -I wondered where that woman got that information from.I was just about to google her bio
😂😂😂😂😂...brilliant bs from a Truss crony
Intelligence generally is however
@@tatooinefarmboy Plenty of examples that undermine that, my friend, not to mention both science and common sense.
@@tatooinefarmboy The claim was not that she is intelligent but specifically that she's a mathematician and therefore analyzes problems in a certain way.
Liz Truss denies being a libertarian, she's on record saying she's never lent books to anyone.
👏🏼👏🏼😂😂😂
Maybe she does not have any book. Got whatever she needed from the library.
get it, libertarian/librarian. But she is so ignorant, I posted another comment regarding whether she does have books...
She is an arrogant narcassist.
... and a dangerous one.
@@ftumschk...psychotic and deranged springs to mind also...
She's a scapegoat.
A scapegoat in her own narcissistic mind
In fairness that's not uncommon amongst senior politicians of all types.
This woman was never up to the job. The broken political system allowed her to be appointed PM. She should have never got there.
"The system" should frankly be based on more democratic principles or public popularity. No matter what you think of him, Boris had a 80 seat majority and was pushed out by sad tories despite his popularity. Liz Truss was the preferred candidate among the Tory members over Rishi. She too was pushed out by her party for Rishi and Jeremy Hunt. THAT is not good.
Awww, you're a bit frightened of change, there there.
Boris expelled everyone in the parliamentary party who had some shards of honour. This is why such political incompetents as Liz and Rishi could reach the top.
@@Dimera09 there are two factions in the Tory party, the liberal faction and the rightwing faction
Delusional.
Is she calm in a crisis, or is she simply unaware that crises have bad implications?
I opt for the latter
Too thick to worry, perhaps?
Psychopaths don’t feel anxiety. They, in fact, thrive in crisis and seek to cause it.
Truss and Kwateng came into politics with the idea they know better. They didn't bother learning how to govern or how to turn their ideas into policy during their time in parliament and as ministers, and when she was PM she acted as a bulldozer trying to force square pegs into circular holes.
This comment made me chuckle in an otherwise bleak day so thank you!
'She's calm in a crisis' is the nicest way of saying, 'she's simply far too daft to see anything beyond the end of her nose', I've ever had.
Crisis, what crisis?
Calm in a crisis or just possibly too thick to grasp the situation .
💯. Definitely this rather than the other.
"What are her strengths?". "Good in a crisis." lol. She created crisis after crisis.
"Good in (creating) a crisis"
Quite right she created am by her own actions of hubris.
Liz Truss is not and never has been, a mathematician.
The 🥬 has better grasp of basic arithmetic than Truss could ever manage in her life time.
Agreed, she holds a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. She'd need to hold at minimum an MA but more likely a doctorate in economics to even be considered an economist. Of course economists aren't exactly mathematicians, but they do need to understand and use mathematics in their work. As is, the best description I can think of for her is 'failed politician'.
@@Auriflamme Mickey Mouse degrees.
Her father is a mathematician. Did you not get the memo where they made it hereditary?
@@beeble2003apolgoies … its going to be hard conversation but then i have to tell my wife that she is an army officer (her father was) :))))
is it only from father to daughter or do i have to look up what my father used to do? :))))))
mathematician 🙄🤣
Dumb to the bones but with unlimited ambition. Always a dangerous mix.
Starmer perfectly exemplifies that statement. A dangerous mix indeed.
@@S-North Starmer doesn't have unlimited ambition, he has extremely limited ambition. So little ambition it's unclear what he would even do with power at this point. And for all his many failings, he's as conventional as anyone could be, not deranged, so the comparison simply cannot begin to function.
@@S-NorthNice try mate, he was the Attorney General, a very bright guy, orders of magnitude better than the lettuce.

I guess you would know.
At least "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" is more credible...
Thanks officer!

4:36 maybe she’s ‘calm in a crisis’ because she’s incapable of realising it’s a crisis?
Or perhaps a bold and genuine leader?

No bids yet and 2 days left.
Are the crayons any good?
Did she not write it on ETCH A SKETCH?
Trussy is unflappable because she hasn't the faintest idea of what is going on and lives in blissful ignorance.
she should have been doing 10yrs in prison for losing 67b in cash from the BoE propping up the bond market
Haha, it turns out that her economic growth plan was the correct plan after all.
It was designed to avoid a recession.
Instead we've 'somehow' ended up with Sunaks' low to no growth at all 'plan'. Though I'm guessing you're just fine with that.
@@S-North- lol, ok... try again, yeah?
@@danielcrafter9349 Sunak is a failure, and will be remembered as such.
But is wasn't poor Liz's fault at all. It was all the doing of that nasty Andrew Bailey and the awful OBR. We should all feel heartily sorry for Ms Truss!
@@S-Northall the tory party are corrupt and a failure and will be remembered as such.
Of course she’s calm in a crisis. She doesn’t give a fig about anyone affected.
If she's even aware, when there is a crisis
I have heard LIz Truss or articles about her several times on Times Radio this week And still more on articles on TH-cam. Why ? Why are you giving her any attention at all ? Why are you publishing so many articles about her and her book on radio and TH-cam? Why don't you allow her to fade into the political oblivion to which she rightly deserves. I am so angry. By her actions she destroyed the value of my pension and thousands of others for which I will never forgive her.
True! Sadly, but it is good to make her a laughing stock, although what she did to the country especially after Brexit (and covid) is CRIMINAL! She should be doing community work forever, not in prison where she would be able to chose her own make up….
"allow her to fade into the political oblivion"
No.
Remind and shame at every opportunity those responsible for inflicting her on us.
Lest we and they forget.
It’s better that the electorate are reminded of the horrors the Tory party have inflicted on our country.
For all her badly managing her past position as former Prime Minister UK, causing great hardship, stress/mental health , emotional health , physical illness to the population. Only in her position for 49 days (shortest time being prime minister ), yet she received £115,000 PER ANNUM for life (for ministerial duties), a great meal ticket for life and a painful slap in the face for the population
Cry about it
Always question the motives of those who want to disband/disarm a regulator.
why the title is not "How to crush a Economy in 45 Days" ?
Too many big words.
Are you insane? Two years of lockdown crashed the economy.
❤❤❤❤
Yeah, zero chance I’ll read it. I can’t even take 30 seconds of her talking.
Very annoying speaking style. Couldn’t stand listening to the drone.
Being so detached from reality that you fail to recognise crises when they happen is not a strength...
If she's a mathematician, then I'm brain surgeon and a astrophysicist with all the qualifications nèeded. She was not calm she was brain dead, she was like Nero watching Rome burning.
He was actually at his lake villa at the time of the fire, some 60 miles away. When he actually returned to Rome, he started directing efforts to clean up.
Christian chroniclers gave Nero a lot of bad rap later. For obvious reasons.
@@marcusott2973So Nero was a better leader than Liz Truss! No arguments on that from me...
Yet another case of a person involved in politics that has wrote more books than read. This is not a comedy or laughing matter, but a tragedy.
Most of the country had two different words of advice for Liz Truss than those of the late Queen.
Indeed, and the second one was "off".
This woman is in complete denial and off her rocker.
Thanks 77th Brigade seditionist!
The queen meant ‘Top yourself’.
I suspect she probably thought that Truss was hopeless but if she could be persuaded to take a bit of time before doing things the penny might drop that she was wrong before too much damage was done.
I thought the lettuce as gone hahahz
She can’t just fade away in ignominy without trying to salve her ego.
Sorry but everything I have heard lizz Truss say is Spot on .Why so many people don't have the Best interests of the Country at heart like she does, so i struggle to Understand. Them !
So you think defence is more important than health?
@@maralynmitchell8261 Well said. I agree, she was correct in everything she put forward, even her economic growth plan was the correct plan after all, just as she said and predicted at the time the negative affects to the economy that she warned of, have now come into being.
@@S-North Her stellar tenure in office might indicate otherwise.
@@railworker8058 Haha, you appear to have fallen into the trap. Ever wondered why the establishment ousted her in favour of an absolute vision-less 'yes man'? No, didn't think you had,,,
You can of course exchange the words unflappable with indifference.
If it was a book about her being prime minister. It will be a leaflet.
So the political experts here are Harry Cole editor of the mail on sunday and former chairman of the Edinburgh University Consevative Association, Kirsty Buchanan special advisor to Liz Truss and former political editor of the Sunday Express and Matt Littlewood former chair of the libetarian think tank the IEA. Hardly a balanced group of experts but this is the Times
A right bunch of lightweights, indeed.
The Queen passes away and it's the focus of attention for the media. Liz the Lettuce is horrified that she's not top of the hit parade. Why me? Why now? Have you ever heard anything more self centred and conceited? 😳

She's a "Mathematician".... HAHAHAHAHAHA....what a sad joke on the UK
I dont know where Truss's colleague got 'mathematics' from.
She studied philosophy, politics and economics. But she still cant add 2 + 2.
@@CubicSpline7713 No doubt her father gave her a solid grounding in maths, given that he's a professor of pure mathematics. (And he's a professor in the UK sense; not a lecturer or high-school teacher like most so-called "professors" are in the American system.)
@@ftumschk Yes, but she's still NOT a mathematician. My late father had a degree in Chemical Engineering but I don't - and guess what, I don't call myself a Chemical Engineer....
@@ftumschk Just because her father was mathematician that does not make her a good mathematician. Economics is not pure maths either its highly behavioural science. I seriosly doubt she has much comprehension of logic in analytics

*ITS NARINE SKINNER* doing the voice of liz - she is brilliant
Looked it up. It IS "Nerine".
Jan Ravens is much better.
Truly the one light that emerged from that shadowy era
"Because Liz was not available" 🙂
Fkn annoying smug voice.
Keynes famously said of Hayek's book that it was, and I am paraphrasing here, an excellent example of how a brilliant logician beginning with an error could produce bedlam. Truss isn't a brilliant logician, but the rest is somewhat applicable. She is utterly self-assured in her detachment from reality, and that, for her, is about as good as logic.
"Why me?! Why now?!" She's is comedy gold 🤡🤣
Quite. No thought for the late Queen or the Royal Family, just panic about how the death would affect her. To call her narcissistic is an insult to narcissists.
She has absolutely no shame. Single handedly cost the hard working people of Britain £1000s with her little game of monopoly. She should have been prosecuted and jailed.
And £30 Billion plus to support the pound and the bond market. So the Tories have wasted an astonishing £125 Billion since 2019 according to The Resolution Foundation. Check their list.
"Jailed" is ridiculous.
I think she had the right idea personally. Look at the country now. The Tories are making a mess of it paying out social security to people who are able to work but won't. This is costing us billions. I am surprised at the Times, a paper I used to read, that they are stooping so low to a kind of cancel culture.
Nonsense
@@Dimera09- but frankly, a good idea. Boris should be there, too. How they're allowed to damage everyone's lives and get away with it is the ridiculous part
The lunatic who took over the asylum…for a short while.
I think there were people in the party desperate for Johnson not to be the worst Prime Minister in history.
There have been 300 years of Prime Ministers who have coped with the machinery of the state. Why is Truss complaining about it?
There is new machinery since Blair
@@NewkemG That was machinery for the Government. As far as I know the machinery wasn't for Mr Blair's personal life.
@@adampowell5376 no it is unelected and therefore I democratic powerful decision and law making institutions that , as is usually the case , increased their remit over time and now obstruct the democratic , law making and economic planning processes .

The machinery is now turbo charged, and heading in the wrong direction at 100 miles per hour.

Truss saw Brexit and said "Hold my beer."
More like "Hold my Château Pétrus", given her pretentiousness and expensive tastes.
Brexit was voted for by majority in a Democratic Referendum
Pretty obvious what you are...
The debt is so huge because our wages are stagnant and we don’t tax the rich, the wealthy and the huge corporations properly. We lose over £35bn in tax evasion and avoidance and uncollected tax annually.
Fund departments properly
Ultimately does it matter about the debt. Doesn’t Japan have higher, but the country seems to work. Cutting debt with austerity is a political decision. Yep growth s the best way to reduce it, if that’s your priority ( to cut it). But does high earners tax cut (unfunded) actually grow the economy? Or do they save more and put more into pensions etc? Agree about tax avoidance etc
@@mikewallace1723 the wealthy and rich invest into assets which makes them unattainable for those lower down. Driving up inequality which is why tax on the rich and more specifically wealthy is essential. Spread more of the money through legislation on CEO vs workers incomes and people lower down can spend more and grow all sectors of the economy not just falsely inflate asset prices.
I would rather read the Exchange & Mart.
We thank you for your sacrifice....
Absurd to see Harry Cole trying to pretend that the death of the queen somehow impacted the economic effects of Truss's insane 'mini-budget' and regurgitating Truss's own stab-in-the-back mythology. The deranged budget was doomed to fail because it's incompetent ideology, the timing was largely irrelevant, while the 'Rishi started campaigning the day after he lost' nonsense is simply absurd; Truss destroyed the faith of her own party through a combination of appalling party management skills and an objectively insane policy direction.
That isn't at all what he's saying. He's saying that he's surprised she went full throttle with such a disastrous budget so soon.
@@elgee6202 He was saying it affected the mindset of the country. I for one think that's nonsense.
@@elgee6202 He was definitely being incredibly generous to her, at the very least. This is the same man who wrote a biography of her before she failed, being forced to pivot into marketing it as an Icarus tale because his book launched after she left office. He's also the political editor of The Sun, who are openly flirting with backing her narrative over Sunak. It doesn't take long to find a picture of the two of them cosying up at a ludicrously softball interview for her book, leading to a positive Sun splash which he wrote. So yeah, might want to take him with a bucket of salt
Perhaps the next GE will be kind to us all and she'll loose her seat.
Lose. Word is that she will be defeated by a turnip.

That’s because it is more human.
No wonder she did not last long as PM. Who can Truss her.
😂😂😂😂😂 best comment so far
The audacity of truss is breathtaking after her attempt at pm, she's still trying to make as much cash as she can from her carcrash 6wks at 5he helm but no doubt there will be idiots who buy her book.
Has truss the intellectual capacity to write a book.

Mark littlewood, former director of IEA and one of Liz Truss's biggest backers...
Yeh, I thought it very odd and not very impartial having him on to comment on what went on as well, but then this is Times Radio were talking about here.
Sherlock Holmes Discovers Lizz Truss' competence vault! Yeah, it is total fiction.
Littlewood doesnt seems to understand that the markets have formed a positive opinion of the UK's ability to fund its plans for borrowing (for whatever purpose the government determines are required). Their positive opinion is based on assessments of economic fundamentals plus the facts the UK has its own currency and it's government can responsibly raise funds through taxation.
When the Conservative Party acted irresponsibly, the markets expressed their concern (as we expected).
I'd have thought anyone with Economics at A level would have been able to work that out, too. Indeed, anyone who has ever had to take out a loan should have expected it to happen. Lenders want to see you can afford to borrow. She was doing the equivalent of saying she desperately needed to borrow money to buy a car but telling the lender that, oh, by the way, she was going to spend 95% of her income for the next year on a new frocks, a racehorse, and going on holiday to Bermuda for six weeks.
I've watched the Times Radio so my friends don't have to: Non-London normal people tear Times Radio luv in apart.
I would not give her a job in poundland.
Mark Littlewood's claim that "unfunded government spending is bad so why the complaint about unfunded tax cuts" is an over simplification; two points which he elides, unfunded government spending isn't always inflationary (it depends a great deal on what is bought with that borrowing) whereas unfunded tax cuts are so close to being entirely inflationary as to be the same, and secondly in a similar vein unfunded government spending can in fact be "funded" if it is used to acquire goods or services that increase productivity, for example infrastructure like roads (if they are genuinely needed), or generate an ongoing income stream for the government (in other words pay for themselves).
Didn't know she had a book, hope it's nice and thick, might come in handy when out of loo roll.
Based on your reputation and headline I will buy her book.😊
I will read it for myself, thank you.
May I recommend the smallest room in the house....for recycling purposes.
The irony is that Liz Truss was brought down by the free markets, who were not atall keen on lending the UK the £50-70BN that was needed to fund the gap between tax and spending.
Agreed
Five year olds defending a five year old, how pathetic.
I read an interview with Liz Truss in which her dad was referred to as ‘a lecturer in mathematics’. He was actually a Professor of Pure Mathematics at Leeds University. I wonder why it was necessary to downplay his status?
Obviously a left-wing, deep state conspiracy
She is absolutely mad.
So nice to hear liv struss....as voiced by the incredible talented Narine Skinner. Watch her videos and you'll be richer than Truss
In this day and age, and in this political climate, if you are being 'told not to read it', then perhaps you really really should.
You nieve fool.
Making an argument for Truss is akin to making an argument for a tsunami. I honestly don't know where do we get these people like Truss and the majority of Tories, its beyond reason. Put quite simply, she's mad.
Never trust anyone who says ' I've read it so you don't need to '. Always read or hear people's own words, not what some opinionated persons opinion of someone else
Did she mention pulling out of the Eurovision Song Contest? That's the key to releasing Global Britain's hidden potential.
The only pulling out should have been before her conception
That's for the sequel.

Never forget the AFRICAN chancellor laughing at the queens funeral.
Oh Truss " of I'll use a nuclear weapon" if necessary she flippantly replied to a question ( against Russia of course) forgetting that the UK will disappear then
No - she meant the Labour Party or for that matter anyone who disagreed with her....
Mark Littlewood? Of the IEA?? The people to whom Truss outsourced her brain. The architects of Truss' nonsense. You can hear how he advised her. The IEA (who still refuses to say who funds them) must take responsibility.
Is that who it is? Saved me a google as he seems as economically illiterate as truss herself
A classic example of the "Dunning Kruger effect ", a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.
Are we going to listen to these experts who are responsible for the mess we are in and carry on scapegoating truss
You’ve read it, and she was targeted and still is.
Liz Truss was Maybot II with libertarian sprinkles.
Sounds like at one point she might even have been vaguely sane. Possibly when the planets were in alignment..
What's the point in political discussion if all contributors come from the same conservative mindset, lesson one on how to skewed a conversation.
I suppose Truss will be buying knee pads for any future employment.

"Why aren't people worried about trillions in unfunded government spending?"
Because government spending against borrowing provides direct value to tax payers which results in (among other things) long term reduction in government costs in other areas including education, public health, and infrastructure. Tax cuts against borrowing provide short term growth in the finance sector of the economy with high levels of volatility that often accelerate the popping of market bubbles and result in economic blowback. The central defense of Truss seems to be "she's strong in her convictions," but strength in ones convictions is only a good thing if they're well founded; her "strength in convictions" is just her being incredibly thick.
That Kirsty Buchanan, (although an advisor to Truss), seems to have a bit of common sense.
Times Radio can't stop itself being snotty metropolitan and woke.
And swivel eyed loons can’t help being Liz Truss fans
So how has the guy that replaced her fared? Terribly.
It's all very well piling in on Truss, but her analysis *was* correct. We can only get out of this current mess with growth, not taxation. Alert.
We don't make anything anymore, our armed forces are at their lowest point ever, half the country is unfit for work, tge NHS is overloaded.
How is all _that_ down to Truss? In the final analysis, her approach was too forced, too rapid, but if you can't see how bad a state this country is in you must have your head buried in the sand.
As bad as she was, credit Truss for seeing the scale of our problems and _at least_ trying to do something about them.
She was just a more carême version of the policies that GOT US HERE.
the establishment close ranks ............ dont worry WE WILL read her book , you dont get to tell us what to do
Presenter employed by Rupert Murdoch and Tory advisor to former prime minister both paint themselves as outsiders fighting the political establishment? How brave they must be and what sacrifices they must have made to…. Oh.
