Kwasi supporting Rishi simply looking for a return to a future cabinet. Sorry Kwasi, no chance.
Kwasi - "Rishi, Suella got a second chance after being sacked by Liz, I was sacked by Liz too. Please give me second chance to be wreck the country again"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
No, I think he is taking revenge on Cruella.
How can Kwarteng sit there and offer advice to the new chancellor including the exact same policies that crashed the markets when he was in office? The lack of shame and self awareness in these people and amazes me
Look, we wouldn’t have asked him based on his track record. But, we don’t control the media, THEY DO! That’s exactly why his GOT an opinion!!!!
It's unbelievable. The bloke literally smashed our economy
exactly
It's utterly laughable, he coasted this interview in my opinion sat on the fence for most of it getting on like a house on fire with the presenter.
True instead of people ruling society through politics, the market should decide what we do!
This guy is the reason why your morgage is so much more than last year.
@user-sd3ik9rt6d He and Liz Truss. Don't absolve her of any blame because she was the one driving him to push those policies through without costing them or gauging how the market would react. He was keen to do so, but she was also a prime driver in the whole palava.
Nope. Since when has the City of London had a problem with lower taxes??? All of a sudden they cared about the populace. It was a very British coup, made clear by the fact that Rishi was hepled into office without a vote by the members of the conservative party.
They were both ciphers of Tufton Street
He wanted to make bankers more money and he succeeded
General Election. Enough of their playground behaviour.
yeah but who do we replace them with? another school of Jellyfish?
@@akeel_1701you are the exact reason we are where we are. You’d rather stick with the worst government in modern UK history, than go with a party who’s not had a say for 14 years.
Useless and dense.
We need to get rid of the hole Tory party
Kwasi moto
Oh I wish. I'm just sick of them now they are a standing joke.
you mean put a plug on the hole ?
Whole!
This was the most back handed support message I have ever heard. This man is incredible in his ability to revise history in his head. Saying that Sunak took on a difficult job because the markets were 'rocky' when he was the chancellor that created the issue in the first place is odd but the fact he didnt acknowledge that he had anything to do with it is just bizarre
Nice to see Kwasi yukking it up as though he wasnt the most disastrous Chancellor this country has ever had. His budget is factually the mist damaging budget in British history. Him and Truss should be completely ostracised if not punished for losing the UK 10 of billions simply by publishing a policy, neither of them have been really held to account as sren by this ridiculous interview.
The man has no shame.
BRAVERMAN HAD TO GO!!!
THE WHOLE TORY GOVERNMENT HAS TO GO!!!!
she will go to reform
Why hasn't kwasi been at least investigated for insider trading?
Get these clowns out of government, theyre not fit to be there!
We need PR to stop these terrible career politicians in the two main parties.
Agreed 👍
PR is the only thing that can save UK democracy. Full electoral reform. Plus a written codified Constitution although MPs are unlikely to want that as it limits their room to do what they want and get away with it
@@jamesprivet here here to a written constitution 👏
@@jamesprivet PR, yes absolutely. Written constitution - jury's out. The US has one and has that stopped the Trump sh*tshow? Nope.
Yes, voting in a FPTP system makes me despair. I can't trust either main parties. We need to overhaul the whole political system and have a written constitution
Esther mcvile should be in jail for what she did to the sick and disabled people
That situation is about to get worse. The new benefit proposals from Hunt are inhumane.
No redemption for Kwasi, please! Yikes. My mortgage nearly bankrupted me this past year! What has Putin’s Brexit done for Britain? Please enlighten me. Please bring forward a General Election & get these bumbling clowns out. Grateful 🇺🇸living here for 30 years & unable to vote 🙏
My pension fund took a big hit thanks to his budget.
@@bigpants6121 so sorry to hear that! Hang in there. We will get through this 🙏
Just got back from Dublin, free movement from the European Union is causing massive problems 😢
@@silondon9010 I take it you mean from England where the English now need visas for the EU?
@@silondon9010i dont think a day trip down the train is sufficient for that perception...
He didn't mention constituency work once when asked about the difference between being a Minister and a backbencher.
These people do not care about us at all, you're a ladder to their next cushy overpaid job. It's disgusting.
People are struggling and our MPs do not care, but they'll keep voting him in because he's on the "right side".
To be fair, he did mention his constituents
@@NotThatOneThisOneto be fair he’s never seen in spelthorne unless photo opportunity met him once he’s a complete waste of space he doesn’t care about his constituents he’s just about climbing up the ladder and don’t care who stamps on to get there like all the tories. They all need to go.
He doesn’t care you are right and they all need to go
Can all of these people who constantly mess up just go away already. There is no shame in politics anymore.
'I was chancellor. The markets were rocky. He came in and steadied the ship'
The chutzpah is awesome
They make a huge deal about their "halving inflation" target... 3 points,
1. It was always going to come down because it was a supply side problem and as those issues resolve on the global stage it would come down.
2. Because it was being resolved on the global stage, Rishi actually did very little.
3. Because he did not put a date on it, he could resolve it at any point.
4. We are still ahead of the BoE targets
5. It's a meaningless statistic anyway because it is a rate of change of costs. When the reality is we should be looking at average costs vs average income.
So however you look at it, the promise was meaningless.
If he thinks what Ron DeSantis has been doing in Florida is a great job, he needs to clean his glasses 👓
I think he needs some high-heeled boots to get a better look across the pond👢👢
@@Qwyte 😂😂😂
Get Rid of the Tories
dont even know why this guy is getting air time he and Truss are the reason why home owners are paying more on their mortgages
Can't believe Ferrari gave this chap the time of day after his shenanigans last year. The guy's a fool and a danger to the general public
So there is no tory member of parliament capable of been foreign secretary which says a lot about what rishi thinks of them as for kwasi who thinks he is worth 10,000 a day to special interests.
Bare faced gall of this man is breathtaking. Hiw did we 3nd up with charlatans like this?
Why is he on a radio show? Kwarteng is a total Shyster.
As if Kwasi has any credibility
Perhaps Suella, can leave for Rwanda and take Kwasi and the others with her.
If you put them on a dinghy then I'm in favour... not paying for their air fair!
She went before the Rwanda ruling came. Cost 140m and nothing to show for it!
That money could have went toward Building housing, creating jobs which would have put MORE money into people's pocket, which they then would spend in the economy and that would benefit everyone.
Kwasi, how many billions did he cost us?
High Court dropped Rwanda down. So does Quazee agree that after more than 18 months of tories claiming its a "paradise" we deserve a GE?
Your budget resulted in more homeless people and more suffering.
Yeah "The Homeless is a lifestyle choice" was beyond the pale. LoL Her resignation letter does read like a personal relationship breakup letter. Something a tad off with a letter like that.
So yesterday we had Dorris on LBC and today we have this clown lol
See Kwasi is still talking in the same management speak gibberish. I expect him back in cabinet in a fortnight will fit right in. I for one am looking forward to hearing Truss's wise comments on this too.
Relax, dodgy Dave is only here to help Sunak get more cash from the India deal, for himself. Doubtless dodgy Dave will get his commission
If I were Kwasi Kwarteng, I would simply avoid reminding everyone of his involvement in Liz Truss's government.
Claiming credit for inflation when it was a natural rebound....dishonest guy.
Classic tories… send a guy who knows as little as possible to lie about most things he does know
Cameron a likable clever man are we talking about the same man who ran away asap after he lost the Brexit referendum and then his debacle with the company he was trying to push the government to give advantage loans to ? I would describe him as despicable disgraceful and spineless and other adjectives kindly excepted. Kwasi same adjectives apply plus disillusioned
It’s offensive that Nick Skoda would have this hack on the show and not challenge him, and instead seek his counsel truly shows the way the media and politicians work hand in glove.
The level and entitlement and hubris beyond belief..... We have not voted on or for any of this.... General election now.
The markets were rocking😅. ..I can't! 😂
Where I live lost of them are suffering from mental health. that keeps them on the street. not a lifestyle choice at all. And I'm in contact every day with the homeless people. 👍
Listening to this guy sums up what the problem is with this government, Conservative party and politicians generally! How do you manufacture a person lie Kawasi…Sunak, Patel, Braverman, Ench Bader?.
As if anything he says matters Should be ashamed to show his face after his stint with Truss
The only difficult situation Sunak came into is following 13 years of Conservative government.
Kwasi is as much use as an astray on a motorbike.
🤣🤣
He says Sunak 'came in when the markets were rocking' rather like a murderer saying 'the police came along after someone had been killed'. Zero acknowledgment of his own disastrous budget and its contribution to misery for millions of people. Remember that this is the guy who reportegly drank champagne with hedge fund managers who actually benefited from the crash.
Im starting to think that the only people who benefited from Brexit was Russia
Is Kwasi Kwarteng still working for billionaire Andrew (Twiggy) Forest - Fortescue Metals, in Australia? Should we know?
This man is my MP. I have zero time for him or his politics, but you know what they say about knowing your enemy.
So essentially if you’re not a back bencher, you have to play the sycophant? Sounds fairly pathetic.
Kwasi Kwarteng for the new Witchfinder General post!
Quick...we need a man of integrity to comment....Get Kwasi ....he's not opportunistic.
The arrogance of Kwartang is breathtaking.
Kwasi old son, thinking that elevating someone to the HoL in order to appoint them to Cabinet without all the rigmarole of being elected as an MP is exactly the same reasoning that grabbing onto skirts of Liz Truss was never going to work out well.
‘Best for your country’! Dear lord, he and loony Lizzy crashed the economy but I bet he made a few bob out of it 🙄
You know what makes me mad about Cameron? It's not that he was a remain voter. It was because he resigned and walked away from his own mess humming to himself and smirking from the no10 podium.
Once again trumpeting against about solving problems caused by them and only them
At least Kwasi got a right old grilling here from Nick F, especially about his part in nearly ruining the economy with Truss!! Journalism at its best!! 😬😬
He isn't that bad talking...and yet you wonder how he thought his budget would work...
...maybe that is EXACTLY what it is...a jilted office lover.
What deal with florida?
There is no deal
Kamakwasi
Of corse Kwarteng has an adhenda, when the Tories start eating each other after the election loss, they will be appointing a new leader, Kwarteng is tied to the Lizz Truss camp and see's Braverman as a rival to their candidate
Question ~ Is a Quasi Kwarteng, half of a full Kwarteng ?
Are you aware how much you focus on the the chaotic state of the Tory party instead of the futur of the country.
Yes! The market crasher is back! Platform him Nick, platform him wahoooo nihilism!
If you remove the context of the damage his budget did, and serving under the worst PM in history, and being in a party that ruined the country over the last 13 years, then he almost appeared reasonable for 15 minutes...
he should be in prison
One incompetent talking about another incompetent.
Asking the village idiot for his thoughts? Now I’ve heard it all 🤣🤣🤣
"...steadied the ship". FFS
Why is LBC giving this total failure time on air
Haaaaaaaaah… this man is an O’G 😂😂😂😂😂 he almost melted the economy with Lis Truss after assuming authority for only 3 weeks - no one can beat that. Not even Cruella Horseface 😂
Here’s the guy who single handedly crashed the economy in a matter of hours, talking about what’s wrong with the latest iteration of the British government. YCMIU
kamikaze kwasi who crashed the UK in one hit
Simple. Never vote tory from Lincolnshire Edward Leigh out this time
The inflation target has not been met. The inflation target was core inflation half not cpi. Why will no journalist talk through this point.
Can someone explain to me what the government did to reduce inflation apart from put a squeeze on public sector pay which there is little evidence that this would of had any bearing on inflation.
I like how he calls everyone by their first name except matt hancock
Smoke and mirrors on the inflation target. It's not actually true that he's met his target. Also, meeting his 'target' had nothing to do with what he's done. ALSO, what about the other 4 targets....that never get a mention...???
How bizarre that we have politicans who are obviously capable and smart talking like this but when they step into government they loose all integrity and honesty? We need some sizevable reform that promotes honesty and subtly of thought.
Kwasi what was the point of u being on here
I understand he was useless as chancellor. But he’s very likeable. And he’s not wrong when discussing the election being a year away. A lot can happen.
I know what you mean. He’s tainted by the mini budget fiasco but he does come across as intelligent and articulate, and to his credit he straight up answered the questions and didn’t keep changing the subject, as so many politicians do these days.
If Ministers spoke like this and were less scripted, I think we might have a better view of them or at least view them more humanely.
The bloke lives in a fantasy world. Worst Chancellor we've ever had. This bloke does more damage to the party than labour!
The day and age of tax cuts are over. The British economy has more debt than GDP in historical cost terms. In accounting language, it's no more a going concern.
Of course, economies are not corporations, where insolvency follows if debt obligations are not met, because the central bank can print money as much as required.
The consequences of excessive money printing and monetization of debt will lead to negative outcomes, in most cases.
However, MMTers might disagree.
Alan Brazil has more credibility talking about the economy on Talksport.
Amid ongoing war, BP and Eni among firms awarded gas exploration licenses in Israel
Energy Ministry says a total of 12 licenses have
Of course he hasnt read the proof.
So it's a lifestyle choice for SOME people, eh???
But we can cowtow to America.
For God's sake, just go!
Kwarteng, we stand with Braverman. She was our voice in government, and fought our corner. She spoke the truth. We will remember.
The man with a brass neck to come on LBC
If I did some things I would stay very quiet and in a very dark corner, not making as much as a squeak! But for some there is no shame...
Breathtaking lack of awareness of anything.
Why is this bloke given a voice on national radio? He is giving advice? He was the worst Chancellor in living memory, his judgement is weak
Remove this circus 😂
Its because of Sunaks imcompetency ....Cameron was brought in....
This interview showing just how much the cons are not for the people. They’re the party of the rich, for the rich.
Our target was twice as big as others. It the highest in the G7.
did he get his 10k per day from that Korean company after all?
Spelthornes finest in full flow
