Oh look at her, she looks so proud of herself and yet it sounded like a presentation made by a primary school child. Stop trying to lead the world with empty promises and just focus on leading this country.
If you understood how ridiculous the service industry is in times of food shortages, pandemics, wars & sovereignty disputes (such as Brexit), you'd understand the importance of her speech. We need to actually start producing food here (& not for retail value, but wholesale). We also need to be self sufficient in energy..
@@jameshart678 I understand and agree with your statement, however we'd be self efficient if it wasn't for Thatcher selling off most of Britain's infrastructure. What I can't get behind is her whole presentation, her emphasising certain words to give herself the image like she has any authority, the pause followed by her smiling like she's waiting for teacher to give her a gold star. Too many leaders concentrate on buzzwords like 'leading the world' and fail. Look at Trump and Boris as prime examples; all they did was talk bollocks. The government could invest in this country if they wanted and yet what do they choose to do? Build a high speed train network from Birmingham to london-which let's face it, its the Tories toy set. Could we turn old coal power plants into hydrogen facilities? Granted it would cost a bit of money but would mean future generations would not have to rely on a power supply being important from other countries. What did they do instead? Gave it to China.

@@christianindividual4550 "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" There are exceptions to the rule, but specially in the Tory party, where ideals are more... let's say "flexible" (Truss being the perfect example of this), there is a reverse selection process. A selection of the unfittest if you will. Example: who was the highest rated member of BoJos cabinet? Ben Wallace. A smart, educated, disciplined military man who everyone agrees is very competent at his job and someone who CARES about his job... and OF COURSE knew better than to run for next PM! Another Example: Rory Stewart... like him or not it is undeniable he is, intelligent, principled, competent and again: genuinely cares. These people have other interests, other options, opportunities to pursue... unlike BoJo, Truss, Raab, Dorries, Patel... I mean the list is just an all-star lineup of incompetent fantasists who will say whatever it takes one day and the opposite the next in krder to het the next pay-check.

Also, re oxford: Dominic Raab went to both Oxford and Cambridge and the man couldn't organise a pi*sup in a brewery.

Whats with the awkward pause after she says something waiting for an applause? Either the audio on this video is out or she is genuinely pausing like that...
Her point is that it makes no sense to be eating imports that you can produce in sufficient quantities domestically. And have excess to sell to other countries without the domestic capacity or growing environnents for that product
@@Unethical.FandubsGames No she doesnt. Much of the world is seasonal and consumes domestic produce and exports produce appropriate to its growing season. There are also countries using technology to extend its growing season, like the Netherlands. We also have great tech for preserving produce either 'fresh', or using other preservation methods like drying, freezing, pickling, preserves, salting, smoking. If the Netherlands can do it, New Zealand can do it, (also without any farming subsidy, unlike the EU), the UK can also do it, but it takes several things. A market at home that supports buying domestic product, R&D into maximising capacity and sustainability practices, as well as technical solutions for harvesting and storing food at optimum quality for extended periods. Theres also room for us to buy products from elsewhere on fair trade terms, like tomatoes from Ghana, outside our own growing season and what we cannot cover domestically. Theres nothing wrong with encouraging good trade and having multiple supply lines for lots of countries...natural disasters, weather changes, war, all effect food security globally, so some diversity of supply and international import and export helps ensure global resilience. The trick is to have a balanced approach.
British apples and pears are only available between July to September, for the rest of the year we need to import them, our fruit is rotting on the trees because we kicked out the EU workers who picked them, Turkeys came from the USA hardly a native species
Very scary that she could be PM... but the reality is that the vast majority of MPs from all parties are not particularly bright, self serving individuals who are only interested in self promotion. British politics needs a complete overall in order that someone with at least a modicum of intelligence and integrity can be the next PM
I woukd say Liz Truss is very bright, determined to succeed and hard working as went to a comprehensive school and then to Oxford, before it had quotas to people who could be accepted .Truss praised her comprehensive with some brilliant teachers, but has the honesty to admit that the inverted snobbery of left wing ideologies, her parents had supported were being used ,to hold back from aspiration, so many of the UK indigenous,population ( of all race and creed). Loyalty to her boss is important to her, which is why she supported Cameron's Remain policies ,but also has the humility to admit that project fear is used for party politicking and she has understood ,why people outside of EU and Labour controlled EU Centric London voted for Brexit. Sunak has been trained in a narrative to protect the reputation of Tory grandees to always avoid over borrowing as threatened by the IMF in 2010, with a reduction in UK credt rating. In normal times, this is understandable. However, we are experiencing two wars at the moment . One with an unseen enemy in a Covid pandemic and the other in Eastern Europe. Truss is quite right to say that times are far from normal and obeying usary bank diktat on borrowing ,as we did in 2010 ,to play safe with the profits of international trillionaires,, oligarchs and multi- billionaires is what is actually questionable as immoral, when UK people are being made to pay unfair, EUC generated,, regressive taxes on everything they consume or use and made homeless due to an inflated private rental policy, based on investment in UK property by international, property developers and buy to let mortgages, based on profit from supply and demand
It's genuinely becoming eerily more and more like a bad episode of Black Mirror the more time goes on.. Starting to feel a lot more like a simulation, with broken NPCs that get stuck on spaghetti code?
Well I assume her point was that she wants to completely revolutionise global food consumption. In the same way that here in the UK we will sometimes crave curry or shawarma, Truss wants a future where there is global demand for black pudding. This cultural shift and following global demand would in turn make it considerably more profitable to produce these goods and inevitably British citizens would also consume them more. Take from that what you will.
@@Tacticalguy100 Yeah, that is about the only explanation that makes some sense. However, I have to wonder how much of the "classic" british cuisine was not invented because people liked it, but because there was a lack of imports due to war and famines.
She really is naive and probably never spoken to any advisor (or read herself) about British agriculture/horticulture, the varieties grown (and grown for what) the consumption rate of those products by the UK population, ie the demand; the shorter growing seasons (that dictates only certain varieties can be successfully grown on to market locally) etc etc. Not to mention those dairy products LOL ! As an ex Agricultural scientist in another life working in horticulture and Agronomy, please feel free, Ms Truss to contact me for advice on policy speeches regarding the agriculture in the United Kingdom. Disclaimer: Unlike the "clappers" I didn't get paid for saying that. PPS Australia can send you some more apples and cheeses too if you wish.

That was 8 years ago, before BREXIT of course. The point she was, awkwardly, trying to make was that we should eat more home grow and particularly, local produce. If we did, this would instantly reduce our carbon footprints and support local farmers.
Carbon footprint is a myth, its a term invented by British petroleum in the wake of the deep water horizon disaster to guilt trip the public into thinking were responsible for wrecking the planet and take the heat off them

@@mungulor Because it's a fucking fantasy. Tell me which of the towns and cities do you want to demolish to free up land for farming? Second the UK has some of the lowest natural bio-diversity in Europe due to our geography, we are not blessed with vast plains for large scale cereal growth, not blessed with huge swathes of pasture land for grazing, not blessed with a climate capable of citrus growth let alone tropical foodstuffs. The UK has been the or one of the largest importers of food on Earth every year for 300 years for a reason, we do not have the capacity to maintain a modern urbanised population, never have and never will do. This speech was just a rework of Jim Hacker's British sausage speech that made him PM in yes minister, nothing more, just a load of bullshit about something that can not be changed due to physical, real world, geographic and climatic conditions so that Truss can wrap herself up in a British flag and use key words designed to trick morons.
We are not reliant in food - uk is a huge food exporter. 2\3 of apples are imported so that we have variety and choose between ours and those not growing here, and the buying countries have variety as well. Don’t need to bring Ukraine everywhere.
She was at the time Secretary of State for environment, food and rural affairs. A bizarre speech would be if she was talking about something other than it being her job to talk about.
Which you can only incentivise by raising import tariffs so that British farmers can compete, which will add to inflation. That or you subsidise British farmers but then you'd need to raise taxes, and that'll never happen because the rich and powerful have to squeeze out every drop of profit to live more lavishly than ever.
When the Australian and New Zealand trade deals "negotiated" by this clown come into effect in 9 years and (heaven forbid) a US trade deal is negotiated, British farming will be condemned to the history books. That's assuming they don't throw in the towel sooner because they can't find the labour to work the fields. How's Brexit working out for you? 🇺🇦🇪🇺🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇪🇺🇺🇦
Nah, looking at Truss' current platform she would likely subsidise agriculture and furthermore simultaneously lower taxes. Per usual, deficit spending is only a problem when the other party does it.
Best part is the rich and powerful are already living as lavishly as it's actually possible to live, yet they keep squeezing every last penny they can out of us just for the sheer hell of it

(the fact that my great-grandfather, 45, Officer (2 medals) with 3 children under 5, Cambridge medical graduate and York chocolate firm scion, died for them, just behind the frontline, seems to mean nothing to these people - gossip-loving, cartel-forming, thieving 'moutierains' - ask mads mikkelsen).

They also said that to which apartment the parcel belonged was indecipherable, but my name was perfectly legible. Perhaps my Moyles could shed some illuminating light on this postman incident?
Why not? The Netherlands is the second largest food exporter in the world. It has similar climate and a lot less land and a higher lived density. The Netherlands has invested in R&D and sustainability innovation. Its animal welfare standards are decent, within EU standards, rated B overall. The UK is also rated B and far exceeds EU laws. The UKs food standards also exceed the minimums set out by the EU, and there is now a focus on reducing unnecessary food waste, which has been a problem under EU regulations, under which millions of tons of food is wasted due to misleading 'use by' and 'best before' dates. It's a good ruse for selling more product to people, but not great for sustainability. The UK has good resources, standards and food quality. Why would we not create a worldwide brand for promoting that and not only be more self sufficient, but also provide food for countries that cannot sustain themselves on their resources?
yeah id rather have a clown like her in charge than someone who will proactively make life worse for the vast majority of citizens. sad how its a choice between comical negligence and pure evil.
@@shelleyphilcox4743 As an ex ag scientist, u are right but I don't believe current farmers would turn over their land to "glasshouse cultivation" I think the UK could indeed produce enough horticultural produce to feed the approx 60 million but it would def have to be intensive horticulture and high tech for sure. This would not fit in with the push (if it is indeed a push) for lower CO2 emissions as a lot of glasshouse grown crops have higher than atmospheric concentrations of CO2 injected into them to increase crop yields. How knows. Tough times ahead for the people of the UK.
@@BushCampingTools The UK is somewhat resistant to innovation and has a poly tunnel vendetta. It comes from a pathological desire to look at wildflower meadows instead of looking at food, and an unreasonable squeamishness at admitting we love a roast dinner and slaughter pigs to eat, and that we are good and wholesome people because we love dogs and horses and cats...and we are nice to our piglets before we eat them in much loved bacon sanwiches and a tasty sausage for breakfast. Yum. We are a funny lot. Joking aside, we have to get real about food capacity and sustainability. If the last two or three years have shown us anything, it should be that pandemics, natural disasters, climate change and war mean that everyone should be taking food production very seriously, domestically and because of effects internationally. We need diverse supplies domestically, inward and outward. WW2 should also have taught everyone that and about the horrific consequences of inadequate domestic supply and the inability to get any food to other places where there is enormous suffering. So I sincerely hope we review our attitudes and prioritise appropriately. I really appreciate your input as someone with some actual experience and knowledge of the sector, so thank you :)
Good to see the media campaign has began. I assume the owner of this paper (Rupert murdoch) fancies Sunak then. Who gives a toss about what she said about British food 8 years ago. It’s bizarre to even publish this lol
I'd say its pretty important, anyone with basic econ knowledge knows that comparative advantage makes it cheaper to import fruit from places where costs are lower than to grow it in house. It shows that she has absolutely zero clue what shes on about
“I want future generations to know the taste of British apples”. Is it any wonder there’s an energy crisis? 😂 This government have been focussing their efforts on producing British Apples rather than how we produce enough energy for the country.
This was in 2014 and nothing's changed in 2022. She's talking sense there but falling on deaf ears. They've got the technology to grow fruit and veg almost all year round ( Not GMO) but the government doesn't want to support the farmers here. Import more and cover their carbon footprint after flying everywhere in their private jets and blame others!!
S R I live next door to an orchard run by a very famous brand of ...They do not care about the crop / they do not care about their workers only best way of getting rid of them (especially the long term ones who have tended the land and the fruit for nearly half a century) They do not care - its so sad to see the neglect.
Nothing, it’s just propaganda, the war in Ukraine has majorly proved that we and many other countries around the world are far too reliant on other nations for resources, if our country’s economy and many others takes this big of a hit from a war with Ukraine then if two major nations collided it would be a global economic catastrophe unless we manage to provide more for ourselves before that happens
Perhaps because the UK has been importing food for over 200 years because the country is a big enough supply itself . As the vast majority of people live in cities , you know I haven’t seen that many farms there so how do you expect them to buy local
The Government could start by abolishing the fast tracking they introduced, enabling housing developments on prime farm land. They override objections from local residents and Local Authorities, causing great strain on infrastructure and facilities. More bricks and concrete on arable land means less British food production.
Why is it bizzare , it's important to have our culture preserved , we were once a proud nation with our own sustainability ...cmon lads let's get back there
I think people consider it bizarre because we brush off these topics since it’s hard to say things like British apples and cheese in a serious way. But I don’t think she’s wrong. If we had a little more national pride and wanted locally produced fresh food would that not be good for our economy. I really am no expert by any means whatsoever but it does seem to me that keeping the money circulating within our country is a good idea, right?
1. Apples and pears are only in season in Autumn for 25% of the year. Why doesn't she say she's shocked that we import 100% of our oranges? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2. I notice the hypocrite doesn't address the fact that, in 9 years, we’re probably going to be importing 100% of our beef and lamb from Australia and New Zealand when her "free trade deals" put our own farmers out of business. 3. There's only so much farm land in this country. 4. Even in a perfect situation, just where do you think we're going to get the labour to work the farms? For the second year running, farmers are letting crops rot in the fields because they can't find workers. "...cmon lads, let's get back there" Go on, lead the way, there are lots of farmers waiting for people like you to pick the crops.
Conservative problem: Importing this much food is a disgrace, how will our farmers compete? Conservative solution: Stop importing food and let them starve Liz Truss Solution: Lol I opened a chinese pork market, problem solved

She will be just fine. You are not but will be. 😉
I love how of all the examples of British food she could've listed she decided on turkeys, an animal that isn't even native to Britain.
Well most livestock isn’t native to Britain.
Well apples aren't native to the UK either they come from Central Asia
Or Yorkshire tea
I can't remember which but in one language the word for Turkey is pronounced ''fuck it''.
To be fair though, that still is a valid point, even if it's not native to Britain. I don't really know what people in Britain typically eat, but if turkey is important for you all, the point stands. As an Italian, the tomato is native to Mexico but it would be hard to imagine Italian cuisine without it.
Oh look at her, she looks so proud of herself and yet it sounded like a presentation made by a primary school child.
Stop trying to lead the world with empty promises and just focus on leading this country.
If you understood how ridiculous the service industry is in times of food shortages, pandemics, wars & sovereignty disputes (such as Brexit), you'd understand the importance of her speech. We need to actually start producing food here (& not for retail value, but wholesale). We also need to be self sufficient in energy..
@@jameshart678 I understand and agree with your statement, however we'd be self efficient if it wasn't for Thatcher selling off most of Britain's infrastructure. What I can't get behind is her whole presentation, her emphasising certain words to give herself the image like she has any authority, the pause followed by her smiling like she's waiting for teacher to give her a gold star.
Too many leaders concentrate on buzzwords like 'leading the world' and fail. Look at Trump and Boris as prime examples; all they did was talk bollocks. The government could invest in this country if they wanted and yet what do they choose to do? Build a high speed train network from Birmingham to london-which let's face it, its the Tories toy set.
Could we turn old coal power plants into hydrogen facilities? Granted it would cost a bit of money but would mean future generations would not have to rely on a power supply being important from other countries. What did they do instead? Gave it to China.

@@christianindividual4550 "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
There are exceptions to the rule, but specially in the Tory party, where ideals are more... let's say "flexible" (Truss being the perfect example of this), there is a reverse selection process. A selection of the unfittest if you will.
Example: who was the highest rated member of BoJos cabinet? Ben Wallace. A smart, educated, disciplined military man who everyone agrees is very competent at his job and someone who CARES about his job... and OF COURSE knew better than to run for next PM! Another Example: Rory Stewart... like him or not it is undeniable he is, intelligent, principled, competent and again: genuinely cares. These people have other interests, other options, opportunities to pursue... unlike BoJo, Truss, Raab, Dorries, Patel... I mean the list is just an all-star lineup of incompetent fantasists who will say whatever it takes one day and the opposite the next in krder to het the next pay-check.
When I say "thick" I'm not talking about raw intellect, but about the required qualities to govern. By definition, it is IMPOSSIBLE to govern without principles, without direction and without morals. We can disagree on what those are, but the total lack of any of those things is what got us here in the first place.
Also, re oxford: Dominic Raab went to both Oxford and Cambridge and the man couldn't organise a pi*sup in a brewery.
Did you go to a comprehensive school and then get a place at Oxford University? Before quotas made entry to the UK and world's top universities, for state educated students, easier to do so? Just asking?

It's actually kind of hard to export food to Paris and Beijing that you've eaten because you think it's a disgrace to eat imported food.
Her point is that it makes no sense to be eating imports that you can produce in sufficient quantities domestically. And have excess to sell to other countries without the domestic capacity or growing environnents for that product
@@shelleyphilcox4743 Possibly. Too bad she ignores the problems of harvest capacity and seasonal harvesting.
@@Unethical.FandubsGames No she doesnt. Much of the world is seasonal and consumes domestic produce and exports produce appropriate to its growing season. There are also countries using technology to extend its growing season, like the Netherlands. We also have great tech for preserving produce either 'fresh', or using other preservation methods like drying, freezing, pickling, preserves, salting, smoking.
If the Netherlands can do it, New Zealand can do it, (also without any farming subsidy, unlike the EU), the UK can also do it, but it takes several things. A market at home that supports buying domestic product, R&D into maximising capacity and sustainability practices, as well as technical solutions for harvesting and storing food at optimum quality for extended periods.
Theres also room for us to buy products from elsewhere on fair trade terms, like tomatoes from Ghana, outside our own growing season and what we cannot cover domestically. Theres nothing wrong with encouraging good trade and having multiple supply lines for lots of countries...natural disasters, weather changes, war, all effect food security globally, so some diversity of supply and international import and export helps ensure global resilience. The trick is to have a balanced approach.

Very scary that she could be PM... but the reality is that the vast majority of MPs from all parties are not particularly bright, self serving individuals who are only interested in self promotion. British politics needs a complete overall in order that someone with at least a modicum of intelligence and integrity can be the next PM
I woukd say Liz Truss is very bright, determined to succeed and hard working as went to a comprehensive school and then to Oxford, before it had quotas to people who could be accepted .Truss praised her comprehensive with some brilliant teachers, but has the honesty to admit that the inverted snobbery of left wing ideologies, her parents had supported were being used ,to hold back from aspiration, so many of the UK indigenous,population ( of all race and creed). Loyalty to her boss is important to her, which is why she supported Cameron's Remain policies ,but also has the humility to admit that project fear is used for party politicking and she has understood ,why people outside of EU and Labour controlled EU Centric London voted for Brexit.
Sunak has been trained in a narrative to protect the reputation of Tory grandees to always avoid over borrowing as threatened by the IMF in 2010, with a reduction in UK credt rating.
In normal times, this is understandable. However, we are experiencing two wars at the moment . One with an unseen enemy in a Covid pandemic and the other in Eastern Europe. Truss is quite right to say that times are far from normal and obeying usary bank diktat on borrowing ,as we did in 2010 ,to play safe with the profits of international trillionaires,, oligarchs and multi- billionaires is what is actually questionable as immoral, when UK people are being made to pay unfair, EUC generated,, regressive taxes on everything they consume or use and made homeless due to an inflated private rental policy, based on investment in UK property by international, property developers and buy to let mortgages, based on profit from supply and demand

"I want British to eat more British products. So I am going to do everything to Export more of them!"
Hmm, I am seeing a slight issue in that logic.
haha yes and also throw the farmers under the bus,with these amazing tradedeals.
Well I assume her point was that she wants to completely revolutionise global food consumption. In the same way that here in the UK we will sometimes crave curry or shawarma, Truss wants a future where there is global demand for black pudding. This cultural shift and following global demand would in turn make it considerably more profitable to produce these goods and inevitably British citizens would also consume them more.
Take from that what you will.
This is what happens when politicians insults people's intelligence
@@Tacticalguy100 Yeah, that is about the only explanation that makes some sense.

She really is naive and probably never spoken to any advisor (or read herself) about British agriculture/horticulture, the varieties grown (and grown for what) the consumption rate of those products by the UK population, ie the demand; the shorter growing seasons (that dictates only certain varieties can be successfully grown on to market locally) etc etc. Not to mention those dairy products LOL !

Carbon footprint is a myth, its a term invented by British petroleum in the wake of the deep water horizon disaster to guilt trip the public into thinking were responsible for wrecking the planet and take the heat off them
But she immediately after mentioned exporting to France? I’m so confused. Do you want us to eat it or do you want to export it?

Because it's a fucking fantasy. Tell me which of the towns and cities do you want to demolish to free up land for farming? Second the UK has some of the lowest natural bio-diversity in Europe due to our geography, we are not blessed with vast plains for large scale cereal growth, not blessed with huge swathes of pasture land for grazing, not blessed with a climate capable of citrus growth let alone tropical foodstuffs. The UK has been the or one of the largest importers of food on Earth every year for 300 years for a reason, we do not have the capacity to maintain a modern urbanised population, never have and never will do. This speech was just a rework of Jim Hacker's British sausage speech that made him PM in yes minister, nothing more, just a load of bullshit about something that can not be changed due to physical, real world, geographic and climatic conditions so that Truss can wrap herself up in a British flag and use key words designed to trick morons.
We are not reliant in food - uk is a huge food exporter. 2\3 of apples are imported so that we have variety and choose between ours and those not growing here, and the buying countries have variety as well. Don’t need to bring Ukraine everywhere.

Which you can only incentivise by raising import tariffs so that British farmers can compete, which will add to inflation. That or you subsidise British farmers but then you'd need to raise taxes, and that'll never happen because the rich and powerful have to squeeze out every drop of profit to live more lavishly than ever.
Well explained 👍
When the Australian and New Zealand trade deals "negotiated" by this clown come into effect in 9 years and (heaven forbid) a US trade deal is negotiated, British farming will be condemned to the history books. That's assuming they don't throw in the towel sooner because they can't find the labour to work the fields.

Nah, looking at Truss' current platform she would likely subsidise agriculture and furthermore simultaneously lower taxes. Per usual, deficit spending is only a problem when the other party does it.

Lead the World in food!? Hahaha 🤣🤣 that's was good. Her joke really cheered me up!
Why not? The Netherlands is the second largest food exporter in the world. It has similar climate and a lot less land and a higher lived density. The Netherlands has invested in R&D and sustainability innovation. Its animal welfare standards are decent, within EU standards, rated B overall. The UK is also rated B and far exceeds EU laws.
The UKs food standards also exceed the minimums set out by the EU, and there is now a focus on reducing unnecessary food waste, which has been a problem under EU regulations, under which millions of tons of food is wasted due to misleading 'use by' and 'best before' dates. It's a good ruse for selling more product to people, but not great for sustainability.
The UK has good resources, standards and food quality. Why would we not create a worldwide brand for promoting that and not only be more self sufficient, but also provide food for countries that cannot sustain themselves on their resources?

This would not fit in with the push (if it is indeed a push) for lower CO2 emissions as a lot of glasshouse grown crops have higher than atmospheric concentrations of CO2 injected into them to increase crop yields. How knows. Tough times ahead for the people of the UK.
@@BushCampingTools Ah yes cannot have evil C02 used to increase crop yields
@@BushCampingTools The UK is somewhat resistant to innovation and has a poly tunnel vendetta. It comes from a pathological desire to look at wildflower meadows instead of looking at food, and an unreasonable squeamishness at admitting we love a roast dinner and slaughter pigs to eat, and that we are good and wholesome people because we love dogs and horses and cats...and we are nice to our piglets before we eat them in much loved bacon sanwiches and a tasty sausage for breakfast. Yum. We are a funny lot.
Joking aside, we have to get real about food capacity and sustainability. If the last two or three years have shown us anything, it should be that pandemics, natural disasters, climate change and war mean that everyone should be taking food production very seriously, domestically and because of effects internationally. We need diverse supplies domestically, inward and outward. WW2 should also have taught everyone that and about the horrific consequences of inadequate domestic supply and the inability to get any food to other places where there is enormous suffering. So I sincerely hope we review our attitudes and prioritise appropriately.

2. I notice the hypocrite doesn't address the fact that, in 9 years, we’re probably going to be importing 100% of our beef and lamb from Australia and New Zealand when her "free trade deals" put our own farmers out of business.
3. There's only so much farm land in this country.
4. Even in a perfect situation, just where do you think we're going to get the labour to work the farms? For the second year running, farmers are letting crops rot in the fields because they can't find workers.
"...cmon lads, let's get back there" Go on, lead the way, there are lots of farmers waiting for people like you to pick the crops.
“This fruit”
Yeah we see you Liz
That's a rotten apple
🤮
why can't we elect normal people to office in any of our countries
Truss: "Importing food is a disgrace! >:("
Also: "I'm off to Beijing to buy pork :D"
That sour British apple. 🍏🍎😂
Right? Literally the worse apples I’ve ever eaten 😂 I never buy them.
Maybe we prefer foreign apples and cheese? ;)
A great week for the EU and Labour
how?
Cheese can be so annoying cant it ?
Don't prevaricate, Liz: just give it to me straight, like a pear cider that's made from 10% British pears.

Hey you forgot irish potat-
Oh wait you took that to...
Oof.
This woman's facial expressions are like what an AI would do. Totally insincere and clueless
What's the best way to express my utmost exhaustion and disdain I have for almost every single politician in U.K politics right now.
It's truly hopeless Mike. One idiot after another. I did use stronger language but TH-cam pulled me up on it.
Vote Z would be a good place to start and a Russian flag on your house 😅
I want Prime Minister Truss to give us an update on how the Beijing pork markets are doing.
Such a strange individual
Ladies and gentlemen...the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Conservative problem: Importing this much food is a disgrace, how will our farmers compete?
Conservative solution: Stop importing food and let them starve
Liz Truss Solution: Lol I opened a chinese pork market, problem solved
this needs to be played before every conference/speech/public outing when she's prime minister.... just incase anyone takes anything she says seriously in that role... Its hard to believe, but i think she's even more of an example of failing upwards than Boris...
Played to putin
Sorry, cannot watch till the end, so embarrassing 😳 🙈
Oh dear god 😩 Pootin should put us out of our misery if he has a shred of compassion 🥴
Lol i think same
Haha 1:39 that long pause with that smile 🤣
Wow a politician talking absolute nonsense...who would have thought 🙄
How is it nonsense?
@@Mozzie7920 Why don't you just read some of the other many comments here ridiculing her, there are plenty of explanations of the ways it is nonsense, and none about how much sense she makes.
@@gedprice2114 She was the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs at the time of this speech. What exactly do you expect her to have been talking about?

@@stevenmoore3480 why don’t you just tell me instead of sending me off on a search
This is the best SNL sketch that was never written.
This complete airhead is fully fit to lead the Tories and completely unfit to lead the UK.
The UK has sank low to have Truss as PM!
This woman has had a humour and personality bypass.
