Excellent Guardian article linked below on Liz Truss's resignation. It’s really a pity that I can’t help the Guardian in any way, because I’m from Russia and it’s impossible to transfer even a small amount to help this resource due to European banking sanctions. 😔
Its like noon 🕛 time show 😅
Labour, in name only now, has more problems than the Conservatives.
Starmers comment/joke turned out to be true
@@Imprudentman Guardians best friends. I'm sure you are
"I'm a fighter, not a quitter"😂 24hours later... That aged like milk
@@dcytgdl4206 The Queen's handshake had the last laugh
Milk lasts longer
@@user-jv7ig6ie5b Lettuce lasted longer
Leave milk out of this. Milk has my respect
I'm sure the king forced her to resign
I believe she is the best prime minster we have ever had because she managed to bury the queen,the pound,the tory party,one chancellor and the UK government in less than 1 month.
And turn many of us against voting Tory 🗳 again
Certainly one of the most influential, considering how many accomplishments she had in 44 days
Don’t forget Home Secretary
Wait the list hasnt ended yet.
Hahaha
Starmers opening line is one of the funniest political
Roasts I’ve ever heard..and I’m American..
I wish our politicians and media would be as truthful and honest as this.
I'm American too and every few weeks since this came out I come back and watch it again purely for the comedic value
"Why is she still here?" quote aged more than just a lettuce
Well at the time she was still there
I laughed until I realized it's a government not a circus
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Should make you laugh harder! 😅
let's be real, what's the difference?
They're the same thing
what is circus? thinking and talking what you have thought and analyzied based on facts?
October 19th: I am a fighter, not a quitter October 20th: I’m resigning
She lost her last fight!
Hilarious
@@chriswatson3464😆😁

She showed how tough she is as a PM of UK.. that sud be done accordingly..
" I am a fighter. not a quitter" famous last words
@Equality Peace that is why these qualify as last words
Liz Truss: I'm a fighter not a quitter
24 hours later
Also Liz Truss: I'm a quitter not a fighter
She had to quit
It was quite staggering. I can't think of another prime minister who literally u-turned on every single one of their policies - certainly not at the speed Liz Truss did. That last policy of being a fighter not a quitter being the most comedic.
As an American, I can say that this was highly entertaining! So much better than watching my own members of Congress drone on and on and on in front of a mostly empty assembly hall.
British politics has always had an air of theatre about it, given its adversarial nature.
A big difference is that the Congress was originally envisioned as being a collegial body and not adversarial. That's why the House and Senate chambers are semi-circle shaped and not a bench design as in the U.K. Parliament. The intention was to encourage deliberative discussion rather than screaming matches between different party factions. Many of the framers of the U.S. constitution had a distaste for party politics and wanted to avoid bitter partisanship in government. Unfortunately, reality turned out much different than the original vision. However, that original seed of collegiality is still baked into the culture of the Congress which is why their debates are generally much more restrained than debates in governments with parliamentary systems.
As a Danish Chinese Kiwi i take dump on USA every morning!
@@randyjones3050 Nice comment. I also have a distaste for party politics. That being said, if parties can't be removed, proportional representation is far better than a two-party system.
they are challenging the PM, this is the right thing.. although.. sometime it is really entertaining if we see in that way.
When Ms. Truss said "We're on the side of working people" I swear to God...I almost puked. Tory policy has hammered me time and time again. I am so sick of ALL of you...Modern politics is a criminal hot-bed of corruption. When it gets colder...you will get your come-uppance.
That's Boris's line..Militant unions thatchers. "We back the stivers he backs the stikers" that's what Johnson used to say
She's a skincrawling malignant piece of slime. Whether her saying that is a knowing lie or she's genuinely that deluded, she needs locking up.
We will get our say ……🎉
@@MrDawson1569 yer, that’s how democracy works.
To be fair it’s a system, but she adores it. I try not to attribute malice to others words and deeds when ignorance provides a sufficient explanation
I like how Mr. Speaker is just a guy who people reference to but never talk to all the while Mr. Speaker is just chilling in his seat
Speaker is a title mot a name
@@nifralo2752 I don't think anyone knows his name, it's just easier to call the guy "mr speaker"
@@jakeratchford6163 He's Sir Lindsay Hoyle
All Members of Parliament know the Speaker's name. It's parliamentary protocol that they have to refer to him as Mr. Speaker.
Also, by rule, the leaders debating cannot speak to each other directly. As such, they have to talk to the Speaker, since he's the one controlling who gets to talk.
It's archaic and batshit, I know, but it is how it is.
Yes it is to ensure the debate stays civil
As an American this is so entertaining to watch. I wish our Senate was this fun.
It is embarrassing my friend
@@jamesskingley5751 Don't worry I'm not making fun of you. I like the British parliamentary system.
Yep. C-Span is usually an echo chamber.
Congress during the Antebellum Period was probably even more crazy.

@@macrobells3861 not really. Those who made others suffer are long dead
@@hightreegarden Britain wouldn’t be as rich as they are if it wasn’t for all the wealth it accumulated from colonies and used to pay the English. So technically karma is still effective if you dealt with stolen goods and free Labour from slaves.
Starmer's opening line here is legendary.
Starmer: “what does she think they’re going to say? Oh I don’t mind financial ruin, at least she apologised” 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
It's like a roast battle between high school students n the rest acting like the hype crowd, absolute entertaining
Very refreshing!
it's entertaining when these high school students arent the ones in charge of YOUR economy. Look at the state of britain, I can assure you, nobody with common sense is lauhing here.
JrKengu is right. We haven’t really been governed for… how long, a year? It’s been never ending personal crises, first for Boris, then for Truss, and now maybe even for Rishi. They must be dedicating half an hour a day to actually governing. Amateurs.
Parliamentary system represent full democracy and openess politicians express their mind and emotions freely politicians act like ordinary Humans.
the best part is, those high schoolers act like they're 4 years old lol
Sometimes I wish this was the way US Congress and Senate were like this. People would be called out on their BS so fast.
I imagine myself being a MP and what I do the whole day was ‘hear, hear’ or booing the opponent 😂🤣
Love how she doesn't mention "I also fired a guy as a fall guy for my awful policy" 🤣
@
s h. Suella and KWasi are just her scapegoats! They just followed directions from her boss Liz Truss!
She's resigned! Woo whoooo!
The World economic forum are in full control now.
The next stooge is already being lined up.
Lol the news have become even more funnier today!
Liz Truss: “I am a fighter, and not a quitter!”
Liz Truss less than 24 hours later: “I am resigning”
😆😆😂😂🤣🤣😁 Oh that's funny!
And replaced with slimy Sunak
The sheer joker laughter from the Labour Party front and back benchers when Truss said something about “reflection of economic reality” had me sideways 😂
6:02 I am a fighter, not a quitter 🤣
And then she quit
I don't understand a thing but watching people in smart suits calling each other "the honorable gentleman" in a heated argument is highly entertaining (I'm not British).
I'm gevani georgio not bri'ish
Swaragita ... not British?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Hello❤
I'm your 400th like Gisela
Lizz Truss speaks more as if she in Opposition & acts as though Labour is in government. Sir Keir Starmer hit the nail on the head.
I can see that!
After the Watson debacle Starmer has no integrity and should resign.
@@lestrem11 does anyone in Britain has? Couz is very hard to see one 😂😂
@@heldertorres4296 I think politicians ( with the exception of Zelensky ) only think of themselves. This is a worldwide issue, it appears to go with the territory.
He did! And I can’t stand the man, but frankly I like her even less…and I’m a conservative voter!!
She says unions are violent, yet then she suggests she's into fighting too...
The comedy show that never fails to entertain. I love it 🤣
Disgraceful I can not believe either two think they could run the country, and I don’t believe any one could do much in such a short space of time!
But she's a fighter not a quiter 🤣 🤣
@@Peacefully-Happy-86 she is quite know
@@AR-cx5yf Exactly
🤣😅😂
"Im a fighter not a quitter"
Yup she proved it! Kept her word!
She really did
Under 48 hours
Her final U-turn
April fools! In October. Octoberfools? Spookyfools?
Could anyone else feel Truss' gut drop when Starmer said "I've got the list here"? I've never seen someone so terrified at being called out. Glad she's gone.
6:08 “I am a fighter and not a quitter” not long later, she’s added to Keir Starmer’s list of gone things! 🤣
I love this interaction, this is full blown entertainment, better than any comedy I have ever seen
Why...Thank you Ma'am. You couldn't make it up..could you..?
+1 😂😂😂
Who needs this when we have lok sabha (Joke Sabha) here
Yeah dude it's most funniest show ever watched. My stomach is hurt while laughing
That’s all it is, entertainment. They aren’t fighting for the British people, they’re fighting British people and fulfilling the Great Reset.
She has the ability to pretend that the damage she's done hasn't actually happened. Can you imagine her keeping her job anywhere else.
0 accountability
isn't that the basics of politics? promise whatever the public wants, deny any wrongful doings and claim any positive outcomes the later 2 being regardless of who is responsible.
@@qgqsrg1 i wouldn't say ALL politicians are like this, just the tories.
@@luptonwell not calling all politicians liars, but that s the basics on how to be a successful politician, of course you re gonna get exceptions.
However like the labour politician said his party is a gov in waiting, they haven't had the opportunity to disappoint much since the Tories are in power, but they were also "liars" prior to that, maybe not as bad as her but still.
Narcissistic behaviour
Very entertaining debate 😂😂 and I love their supporters nodding, and screaming " Yeaahh, aaahh" 😂😂 is there a jury to decide the winner?🤔
Yeah. Millions of people in the jury. They deliver their verdict every few years.
😂😂😂
" Out Before Christmas"?!
Great line from Keir Starmer but overly generous!! 😄😂
The honorable gentleman and the Prime Minister traded non-honorable accusations.🤣🤣🤣
"I am a fighter and not a quitter." Well that aged well hahaha
famous last words
:D
She fought to quit
She’s the Bryce Hall of politicians
19th: "I AM A FIGHTER AND NOT A QUITTER!"
20th: "I have decided to step down. As I am a quitted and not a fighter."
“Militant unions”. Says everything you need to know about her.
SHE IS JUST RIDICULOUS !! HOW ON EARTH DID SHE GET THE JOB ?
It's actually a disgusting comment.
@@kingsalmon7686 Rishi Sunak isn't white, basically. The Tory party membership was never going to accept a BAME individual as their leader.
She’s throwing nurses, AHPs, carers under the bus here. The Tories
Don’t care about working class people. They protect the elite.
Yes shapps came in
Once a Legend said, " I am a fighter, not a quitter"...And the rest, they say, is History...😅😁🙄🙄😎
This was much better debate than indian parliament where MP disguss things upon religion thing rather than PPL need

The day the Tories are out of power can’t come soon enough.
Yeah but nobody wants that ch!mp Starmer.
Be careful what y wish for it might come true.wjatever state the tories are in I would never vote labour ever especially if they do a deal with the SNP what a mistake they made getting rid of boris the torys. Not in a better position now are they Samuel.tell me what labour will do when they are in power spend money we haven't got increase immigration and there would be even more wokeness as skarmer does not know what a woman is. Isn't it bad enough already do y want more it's a complete fallacy that if labour gets in everything will suddenly be great.theres going to be a general strike probably that's just to harm the government. I suppose y agree with that
Lizaster -Lizaster -lizaster World is laughing to UK because of dumb PM
But then what? Will Kier Stermer vow to 'deliver Brexit'?
@@BrendanMacWade Brexit isn't his policy to deliver.
"I am a fighter not a quitter" FAMOUS LAST WORDS.......
She quit a few days after haha!
“Is that the release date or the title?”
I’m dying of laughter, oh my medical fees
3:45 "he refuses to condemn the workers"
Cool
For once I agree with Truss. I like people who don’t condemn workers.
An a level economics student could have told her what her mini budget would do.
Yes she and her team seems out of sense for capital market
@@bluefairy9683 Rishi Sunak straight up told her in a debate exactly what would happen
didn't take a level economics. you can just make 1 Google search and you would find out
@@yomamaMTV alright genius
@@gorgeousss9014 if thats what qualifies as "genius" to you, then I'd hate to be "normal" like you
It's a civilized rap battle ...
I love the uk concept of parliament. It's so direct. Like they are really discussing and debating. Much better than a 45 min speech like in India 😅
This is just PMQ's. Most sessions are rather empty and so often there is one guy talking, with some interruptions from the other 3 people that are there
Why is she bringing rail workers into the argument to save her own skin? It’s not just rail workers, it’s everyone who’s struggling to make ends meet in these difficult times. It really beggars belief. All anyone is after, including many other occupations, is an acceptable pay rise given the inflation under which we live.
they're trying to scapegoat the entire economic crisis on unions
The ‘militant unions’, no less! The people who worked throughout the Covid crisis. The people who haven’t had a pay rise in 3 years. The people they attempt to demonise from their neighbours and families, when the reality is that they turned up for work with a sense of duty. The whole rhetoric is appalling to me.
Hence Shapps is back as Home Sec to control the strikers...
Just deflection.
@@Lleq3 check the wage of each train driver. Our TfL is growing broke. With the energy crisis it will go bust. If London transportation fails, we lose billions. But again, Labour supporters do not understand economics. The same as most comments. Not a Truss supporter, she doesn’t understand what she’s doing properly. Now you know why they discuss this vital issue.
Strikers are workers, side note to Truss.
No. They are leeches. They have been striving for decades and causing the TfL to inflate their wage unrealistically and refusing to slowly allow the TfL to automate it’s lines. Now we have an energy crisis. So much energy is needed to keep stations open, more than any Labour mind can imagine. Everytime they strike, we lose millions. The government has to come in and provide more money. Now if the TfL goes bust, we lose billions. They are not workers in the sense you believe but have put us in a very tough position. Our homeless crisis is partially sorted whilst the stations run as they provide warmth to the homeless. There’s many more factors. You need to see the bigger picture
I wished Nigerian politicians take it this seriously. Let’s really know their priorities and intentions. Lying under that kind of pressure has to be hard 😅
I love how they all letting their voices, approval or disdain be heard unlike here in America in congress .
Militant unions. They want better pay and conditions and the Tories call it militant. That’s something a dictator would say….
Thatcher
Better pay? A train driver earns three times minimum wage. You are joking. Learn about economics thoroughly. Help the public. You will learn a lot.
@@ClanAR yeah and the train drivers boss earns probably ten times that. This is U.K. not India, people like you are cowards bowing to the suits.
@@ClanAR there are other roles in the railway you know.. Trains aside, the whole working sector is getting undercut.
@@jaydemirhan2197 train drivers earn more in the UK vs any where in the world. It’s a joke. We can’t set up an automated system easily due to these strikes, due to fear of losing jobs. They’re not undercut but their wage is inflated which everyone knows if they really researched this.
If all parliaments are like this, people would be more interesting in politics. This is fun to watch, (I am not English)
It’s not fun when you live here and you’ve been supposedly governed by the vermin that is the Tory party for the last 12 years.
Totally agree👍
British
I thought it's a kind of a sitcom , couldn't believe my ears and eyes that's it's really happening. What a show! 🙈
It’s not fun if you live here. I was shocked first time I saw this is how the “civilized” British conduct themselves in parliament
Unbelievable!
“And how’s that going?”
The SHADE in this room
@4:05 “He backs the strikers, we back the strivers.” And the Tories are about to sack the skiver, and call the cabdriver.
Ok lets worry all the elderly people that are scared to put the heating on.. Or a hot meal.. Or can't even afford food... Just after a 2year covid lockdown! Everybody's just passing the buck.. Its like pass the parcel... SOMEONE IS TO BLAME FOR THE DESPERATE STATE THE COUNTRYS IN!
That line is actually probably the truest and most accurate thing ever to come out of her mouth. It relates to the Tory party in general vs the Labour Party, not her policies or kier starmers
@@johnoshea4851 maybe the two year pandemic you speak of?? 🤷🏼♀️
Should be a poet
That’s what the world is coming to how do you like that ?
Love watching her get angrier and angrier, trying to attack Labour and deflect from her own failures, while Starmer just keeps holding her accountable and staying on message without getting the slightest bit bothered. She kept lying and embarrassing herself, then was out of a job a day later. Tories just can't win a debate. It's pathetic.
The "gone!" Chorus at 5:33 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Best opening by Starmer, 😂, because of him I started watching British parliament debates, it is highly entertainment
Starmer drilled her😂😂🙆🙆
“I’m a fighter not a quitter “ girl is so ironic and can never keep to her words 😂😂😂
The fact that she’s just resigned makes this video more hillarious
The way she repeated those words twice make it twice funnier too🤣
I started chiming in with the "yyeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh" after each speaker's turn 🤣
Our UK government are an absolute embarrassment!!
Unfortunately...
Well you guys voted for it, now you have to suffer the consequences
@@watersportsbyjamesfitzroy5870 time to vote left.
Restore absolute monarchy! Charles alone can do so much better!!!!
😫🤣🤣🤣
Being "A fighter and not a quitter" seems to have really aged well in 24hrs
This is like a high school debate. People are laughing, cheering and booing each other 😆
Isn't it "IRONIC" that
"Mr Speaker " is actually not the speaker but the person referenced by all the speakers?
British politics is so direct. I love it. No hiding in that house.
I watched the full thing and I didn't even realise cause I was laughing so hard 😭. These are the people we trust to run our country a bunch of grown women and men who throw shade at eachother talking about political matters. If u watch the full thing u can see the other members slightly talking with the opposite side throwing shade
Politics was always like this, roasting and mocking like a bunch of kids
also these model of parliament make UK colonized quarter of world in the 19th century.
Coming back to it, this is going to go down as an all-time greatest moment in PMQs. Starmer had gold dust in this one.
The house of parliament is just like a roasting tournament
2:49 apparently this is every Briton’s face when she got into number 10 😅
Should be a meme!
😂😂
Energy Price Guarantee = Funneling public money to Energy Companies...
This is the best comedy show I’ve seen in ages 😂😂😂
Hello how are you today
Funny how she again and again said that she is a fighter and not a quitter and just one day later she resigns. Just marvelous!
The greatest rap battle of all time
Boris Johnson did it
Rees Moog watched
5:30 was straight heat
The joke in the beginning was legendary
For context she resigned the day after this exchange.
Yes after the terrible fracking vote mixup
6:04 “I am a fighter and not a quitter”
Today’s news: “Liz truss turns in resignation”
💀
Backfired so badly
So entertaining for a citizen of the EU to watch.
As a citizen of the EU as well, I feel bad for those British people who got their EU citizenship deprived by those, who were (mostly) deceived by their own government.
As a Canadian, same. I imagine the Aussies are also having a blast with this one
@@meowmiaumiauw yeah, as a Canadian I have plenty to say about how our government is doing, but at least it isn't this absolute train wreck.
That is the best part. Now here everything is not well but at the very least it is not this level of laughable. We got enough problems but you get the feeling these issues are taken care of - often too late and above budget but we keep marching on.
Over the channel in the meantime: Red nose is the only thing missing from the costume.
Meanwhile those of us British citizens who did not vote for Brexit are in despair and very, very angry. My brother is taking French citizenship.
Lol they all gone "why she still here" 😅
"I'm fighter Not A Quitter" that aged like butter on bread😂😂😂😂😂
Liz Truss: “I’m a fighter, not a quitter.”
24 hours later: 🏃♀️💨
It's a bit of a show when a government has to legislate against those who object to it's behaviour and then blames the opposition for not making progress. She is barking mad and by that I mean rabies. Will she be sacked next week and blamed for all that that's gone wrong? A sort of poisonous fresh start in the making perhaps. As the country falls apart all she seems to want to do is play with her train set. Mad, bonkers and dangerous.

Its not a U turn. Its a roundabout.
How could I be laughing so hard for the first 12 seconds in the video?
"I am a fighter not a quitter" that quote aged well as fine wine!
She says she delivered ‘the energy price guarantee’? Is this the one she said was for two years and now she says it’s only until April?!🤷🏻♂️
It's being reviewed but it's only a cap. So she's going to have to go to windfalls again
6:01 The greatest line spoken ever in the history of mankind
James Cleverly making the "money sign" at Starmer when the man next to him had been investigated by HMRC. Laughable.
Mind blowing
