- Liz Truss defends her past comments in a fiery interview with GB News's Steven Edginton. The former prime minister was challenged on her previous views on immigration and Trans issues, and said she regrets calling herself an LBGT ally. She told GB News “there was a point there” in relation to Enoch Powell’s anti-immigration views, though condemned how he expressed himself. Truss also called for net migration to be cut to 100,000 and said her past support for Brits to fight for Ukraine was "too forward leaning".

Great job holding her feet to the fire Steven. She really is nice but dim. Shame.
She played a major role in avoiding a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine that has 50/50 chance of wiping out humanity. She is very dim and not very nice.
I think not many books will be sold after this car crash!
Pro-Tip steven: NOW give this sort of 'Interrogation' to Nigel Farage, - rather than the Fawning sycophancy of your last interview with him.
My God she comes across terribly here. Someone who doesn't know what she thinks or believes and is trying to do a Thick of It impersonation of what a right-winger would sound like.
She is the best gift to the Left.
I'm 20 minutes in and I'm struck by how dense and incompetent she seems. She is _literally_ like a character from The Thick Of It.
OMG if this is the calibre of politician running our country, we are done for. On a similar level of unsuitability as Sunak.
This interview was a terrible own goal by Liz.
Liz is the gift that keeps on giving. 😂
I'd be interested to see the results of a Liz Truss IQ test...
She clearly isn't very bright and was embarrassingly out of her depth as UK PM
Russian propaganda seems to be the excuse for incompetence, the problem is they have no convictions. Her LBGT comments show she was only saying what she thought would make her popular.
That is what she literally said, and her reasoning for it is sound. Half the conservative party MP's are effectively lib-dems or blue dyed labour, she had to pander to them and try to be popular amongst them that is how party's work.
Pointing at one set of comments and saying that is representative of all her core views is obviously dumb. If she was going to on all issues just say what she thought would make her popular she wouldnt have ended up resigning, because she wouldnt have tried doing anything differently or have been any different than Sunak who is a far better example of someone uninterested and unwilling to do anything unpopular with the MP's in the majority of the Tory party.
If she was just trying to be popular with the Tory right-wing, grass roots or this youtube comment section she would have said many different things in the interview if you paid any attention. She wouldnt have been so stridently pro-Ukraine, she would have been far more anti-immigration and she would have pretty much never disagreed or clashed with ther interviewer.
Brilliant holding this silly cow to account
😀😀😀
Steven is a quality interviewer.
One of the best. Very impressive interviewer.
@@BN-hk6wf Yeah, he's going places.
@@SamRoberts-ng3pu Yes, he's privileged.
He's one of the few I've heard who actually challenged Truss.
@@noahbrock349And brilliantly so. He made her seem clueless at times.
She hasn’t a clue what side of any argument she falls. On
i 100% agree with Truss regarding the lax and total failure of scrutiny of the Bank of England's role in the collapse - they sold off the night of the budget before markets had any reaction, they caused it!
Tory MPs should be absolutely terrified of being interviewed by Steven Edgington. Terrified.
so should everyone
She gives diane abbott a run for her money.
I wish we had politicians based on Merit and Values.
Russia! Russia! Russia! Absolutely everything is Russia’s fault. 🙄
Nice punch and judy show
Some of it is China, but yeah mostly it is.
😂 she’s nuts.
Ask her about Nordstrem 2
"It's Done!"
Who cares? Are we Germany, Russia or the US?
Let say it was the US, why do we care outside of the indirect effect countries like germany being dependent on Russian energy switching over has had on global prices increases? Is Russia a friend of the UK? Do we care about the damage done to the German economy? Do we care about what the US does in other countries with its military if we aren't involved?
Russia is not a friend of the UK, its not even just neutral country towards the UK. The same can be said of the US and Germany, but unlike them Russia had recently attacked us by using incredibly dangerous chemical weapons on UK soil.
If the reverse happened I equally wouldnt care as long as it didnt effect us, germany as part of the EU has harassed us for the last few years and the US is frankly a greater enemy of the UK than Russia could ever aspire to be.
Even if you think that was somehow fake, which frankly from how little effort was made to cover it up I'd say its more likely it was done intentionally obviously by Russia as some form of threat, they have on many occasions directly threatened the UK and violated out airspace and waters.
So again finally who cares? Given the political situation the answer seems pretty redundant anyway given germany was already trying to move away from Russian energy, which if anything probably indicates that Russia was the one to do it just to fuel this sort of questioning.
If we had a real energy policy this would have literally no downside for us at all. End of the day whose side are you actually on? Are you pro-UK or pro-Russia? If its Russia just leave now and go enjoy the paradise you think exists there.
@@drdeadred851we don’t have a energy policy though do we? So less supply will increase our gas prices as we won’t frack.
Who cares? It where we get half our energy from @@drdeadred851
£115000 a year ex-PM pension… she owes us 65 billion
Steve is up there with the best, a real rising star. Always a pleasure to see him.
Liz Truss essentially is a Narcissist, it is displayed within her smug facial expressions and the fact that she can’t admit a change of direction in her own politics. ‘I was right then and I’m right now’ even though the two things are completely different
All I learnt from this is she takes responsibility for absolutely nothing
She had her chance and she blew it. The former PM has lost all credibility an has nothing of substance to contribute.
as taylor swift says a nightmare wrapped in a country bumpkin
It's the easiest thing in the world to blame sombody else or something else ...
Truss is a prime example of what goes wrong when privilege is put before ability.
She didn't actually know the difference between a Disraelian and Gladstonian foreign policy, did she?
Thick as mince.
Has she even heard of either?
@@SworBeyE16 I dare to think.
@@noahbrock349 Then you've dared to do a lot more than her!
Authoritarian regimes 😂😂
Like the uk government is fastly becoming
every liz truss interview is a prince andrew interview
Good interview Mr Steven Edginton
This is the way you conduct an interview with a baby conservative.
She is not a conservative. I've always considered her a neo-liberal, although after watching this interview I must confess that she seems devoid of any principle whatsoever.
@@noahbrock349 yes, and not the sharpest tool in the shed.
@@noahbrock349she was a Liberal Democrat. For all I can tell, she still is
Yet Russian media is banned but BBC runs a Russian service 😂
Our countries needs leaders who can hold the room and be seen as confident and be believable. Let’s keep looking
If sombody tripped over a banana peel they would blame Russia 🇷🇺🍌
Thus guy is right person to interview her
She can claim up to £115k a year for being an ex PM… this is exactly what is wrong with the system.
Is it "Russian propaganda" that Liz wrung 100 dinghy sailors dry at Chevening house every other night? ...at the Taxpayer's expense! 😃
Great interview with a phenomenal interviewer!
Remarkable number of people not listening to what Liz Truss says, but spouting their preconceptions!
Marjory Taylor Truss...
That is the best interview of Liz Truss I have heard so far. She seems thoroughly out of her depth and does not even appear particularly genuine. The fact that she became Prime Minister is shocking.
Yes. Doesn't that show the poor quality of candidates, and overall, the general poverty of talent in British politics. That _has_ to change.
Top journalist and interviewer here - Steve is going places, great to see.
Liz Truss IS the establishment, for goodness sake.
Except she isn't and that's why she was removed by the establishment
@@seanehzShe was a Liberal Democrat, for all I can tell she still is
Absolutely, she is part of the establishment. She tried the same route of Oxford PPE to the corporate sector where she did not succeed particularly and then on to politics, or one of her first achievements was getting impregnated by a Tory MP who was set up to mentor her. She is a product of the Tufton Street think tanks she is 100% establishment material.
Lunatic
She is painful to listen to, and I speak as someone in broadly the same camp. Long silences, constant ‘what I am saying is…’. One reason for her downfall was an inability to articulate her own position in interviews.
Views are Radical. Asking British citizens to fight in Ukraine - is not right; rather finding peaceful solution as Foreign secretary, which is her job!
Giving too much power to so called democratically selected people is wrong, independent Intelligence is needed to prevent dictatorships .......
This woman is being judged more from her unusual voice and quirky mannerisms than the opinions she expresses. The WEF is a prime mover in how our countries decline. Anybody who comes closs to transgression is shamed, mocked and belittled personally. Granted, like most politicians, she is driven by her personal career considerations but her suggestions are no more radical than an 80's Thatcherite. And her intelligence is above your average MP's these days. Really. Look at some of them.
I think she had the right ideas but she tried to do everything too quickly, and needed to hold out while the pre-planned banking revolt played out.
Incapable of anything. And most of the Tories know it by now.
I always supported Liz Truss
> Tries to paint herself as Anti-Establishment
> Spends the whole interview saying “It’s not fair to pick on people” and “I’m not going to say who the Establishment is”
Could you imagine Trump saying this, he’d have never been elected even in the primary!
Steven is one of the better journalists/interviewers out there
According to her the Telegraph, Mail and Express are on the side of the "left wing establishment". Their readers will be outraged.
😂😂😂
But if your personal views are similar to Adolf Hitler...then all of the UK's press is effectively left-wing...
Don’t trust a twisted word she says.
Where is the Russian propaganda quote?
Great interview - Well done 👍
Great interview thanks
mass migration and the islam are a big threat but good to see she got her finger on the pulse and reality but she iust as bad as the rest of our mps
Islamic immigration is just a SYMPTOM of our financial and banking system that loves millions of cheap workers and future consumers.
Muslims are not running the financial and banking system, media or Hollywood destroying the West. It's another group.
"Russian propaganda" = "You're a racist = The person is losing the argument or has nothing valid to say!
Propaganda on all sides exists, Russia has been used as scape goat a lot, but that doesnt taking the position that it is never the correct answer to point out "that is russian propaganda".
Responding to a stupid one-sided position by taking the opposite extreme doesnt make you correct, it puts you in a stupid one-sided position on the other side.
@@drdeadred851 Western propaganda also exists.
She's a dangerous weapon
Absolutely disgusting
Listening to her ramble on about transgenderism and ‘conversion therapy’ (which is actually just non-affirmative therapy - as all serious therapy should be) is like watching a fish try to solve a rubik’s cube. She hasn’t the first clue what any of this stuff means or its implications. Social conservative my arse.
Unbearable
Ugh that WEF puppet
She takes on the woke
@@DrJamsappears to
@@DrJams You can't be serious?
I cannot even watch.
Nymphomania is not one of the LGBT categories, Liz. 😁
She is containment
Steven would be an outstanding police interrogator. Any prospective prime minister of UK should have to get through the “Edginton Test”!
A truly talented interviewer. Let's hope we see more of him.
20:18 amazing question. About time.
Steven needs to interview Keir Starmer!
Cameron's 'A' list
She crazy id rather have rishi in power
I don't disagree with everything Liz says, but the title of the 2010 Conservative manifesto was "An invitation to join the Government of Britain". I am not sure 2010 Conservative voters would agree with Liz that they were voting for a smaller state. They were voting for a different state. The offer of the Conservative right is very different again to that of 2010. Liz sounds quite sensible when she isn't spouting lazy, unintellectual nonsense about "the deep state", "the Establishment" and wokery, especially on Ukraine.
38:14 Enoch Powell question
I believe she has good conservative instincts, but she does not understand the righteous beliefs that motivate Russia, nor its military and defence-industrial strength that exceeds that of the West.
What "good conservative instincts"?
Thanks Vatnik.
@@noahbrock349 Unfunded tax cuts to the rich.
@@wundurra24 the West/ NeoCons/ Victoria Nuland should never ever of backed the coup against the then ELECTED government of Ukraine 9 bloody years ago. 14,000 people died BEFORE the invasion.
She is clearly a NeoCon and Liberal.
cloudy and not sure andnot whats written on the tin
Disappointing that both interviewer and interviewee conflate sex and gender, as too many do.
Russia walked out of the UN meeting when Isr'el started justifying themselves. As did Albania.
Russia also hosted Hamas

Kinda hilarious she doesnt know more than 2 tory PMs but lists MLK as an inspiration
44:11 there it is 😂😂😂
How do you tell a MP is lying? There lips move!.
*Their

Javier Milei - favourite Tory leader 😂
This is a very good interview. It makes me like Liz Truss more than I did. However her views re the war with Russia are completely at odds with mine. I don't think we have a cat in hells chance of 'beating' Russia and I wish that we should be at peace with Russia. No-one wins in a war.
"It makes me like Liz Truss more than I did". Are you serious? Are we watching the same interview? It was uncomfortable to listen to.
really? I used to thing liz was ok and shoukdnt have been pushed out but this video has shown how out of depth she is
You are not a "Free Marketeer" if you are sanctioning Russia, loov. 😅
She’s also not Pro-Free Speech if she believes in Hate Speech Laws. Perhaps the most staggering thing in this interview was when she said “I’m Anti-Establishment” then 5 minutes later said “I want to preserve the status-quo”
Interesting..
Oooh argh, someone pass me a bucket 🤮
does this need to be 50 minutes?
Poor title GB News - Its clear she is anti woke anti left anti Russia and pro strong independent UK. You should of shown her most respect
"i dont care about demographics" deserves ridicule
Truss: I compromised to become PM in this broken system then found I still had no power, this is my advice for others to succeed where I failed...
Interviewer: you compromised!
Truss: ....
Interviewer: you compromised!
Comments: you failed!
Me: this is fine
She has appalling moral character, poor judgement and no personal or political responsibility
@LambdaTheory I don't question that. I also don't care if you don't like your former PM. I care if there is hope for a better future, this video suggests people would rather bicker.
20:17 “In terms of other threats facing the West, particularly Britain and America, many people are concerned about demographic changes: the decline in the white population…”
This question is racist.
Demographic change is observable reality?
Waaaaacissssst
38:44 :)
I cant stand gb news anymore
