Party leaders chosen from their best in the Tory pool assumingly ,imagine how bad the rest are , Kamarkasi politics by miss trust .Pushed Brexit, A crook self serving boris now a wreck the economy Mistrust Tories must really hate Britain it has to be intentional no one's that thick?
All these people should be sacked and shamed. and never be allowed to deal in politics ever again. Form a new government all under one party that are paid a salary the same as everyone else in the working class. And should be made to pay back all the money they have stolen from taxpayers.
Thankfully I’m an Australian living in a country who threw out the conservative government in May with an overwhelming sigh of relief! I don’t understand why there’s not millions out in the streets demanding an election, Now! What a disaster! ,
She's so dumb. She doesn't even know her own policies. She's going around these interviews saying "no one will pay more than £2500 under my cap" she doesn't have a clue how her own cap works. I blame Tory members who repeatedly elect the absolute worst, and most incompetent people.
What i do not understand is how Kwasi could get the idea that "taxes" would hinder or further economic expansion. If i invest i do not pay taxes. They are simply non existent for me. If i take out the money i have to pay those taxes. Lowering taxes means i can REMOVE investment and take out money easier. Not PUT IT IN. I can not follow the arguments of Kwasi that lowering taxes means more investment. It does not. Lowering administrative burdens, lowering buerocratic red tape, lowering housing taxes and taxes for the poor workers means more investment, removing and selling NHS to the US, removing workers rights, allowing enslavement, allowing indentured workers with their whole families like it was done in the 18th century - of course including unpaid child labor - helps investing into the economy. But certainly not remove taxes for the rich!
Never forget that this Brexit Britain and we are living the dream! 🤣 🇬🇧 Do you remember the bad old days when we were in the EU and could feed our families and heat our homes 🏡 .......Awful wasn't it!!!! 🇪🇺

I still believe that the Titanic was an insurance scam, seeing that it was massivley over-insured after its collision with a cruiser, and that it was intended to have it sunk in a managed way. Unfortunately, the co-ordinates were incorrect for its place of sinking.
She campaigned on that to around 150,000 Tory Party members, the vast majority of whom are extremely rich, or more than rich enough to personally benefit in a very material way from it. This shouldn't have been up to them, it should have been a General Election. You can't have 150,000 people voting on someone who will have ultimate power over 70million. That should be a mandate from the masses, not the minority in an already massively bias'd group.
They are both driven by ideology so blindly that they can't take corrective action, because to do that would be to admit that their grand theories actually have errors in them...
Truss is totally, catastrophically out of her depth but lacks the basic self-knowledge to see it. She is a serious danger to this country and is putting all British citizens at risk. She has to go ASAP.
Most people don’t quite realise that when the Bank of England prints money to buy government bonds, they are literally increasing inflation to fund a tax cut for the rich. That inflation increase, is a tax on everyone. So, they’re not only decreasing taxes for the rich, they’re increasing taxes (inflation) for everyone else, to give it to the rich. Nice one!
You are right. Something that was intended to correct the misleading, irresponsible and ridiculous government policy will turn out increasing the danger of total collapse.
Yes, QE devalues the currency (you know that thing that Truss and her chancellor tanked). Gilt rates went up massively which makes government borrowing much more expensive just when they went to borrow more than ever to fund the rich man's tax cut and energy cap. This caused a massive sell off in the bond markets and almost bankrupted pension funds, you know the things regular foke pay into for old age, nothing important really).
I surely can’t be the only one revelling at the idea that a self-described “Thatcherite” is going to lose everything as a result of the markets? If it didn’t affect us all so deeply, it would be a thing of sheer beauty.
Unlike James, I'm a great believer in trickle down economics. People don't understand that money travels down the economic chain, much like nutrients through a human centipede.
Most desperate people do not have time to wait for your so named dribble down economics. The situation is critical for 80% of the population. You may be fortunate enough to wait, but you are in the minority.
No, they want all the Tories out, which is why Labour have had a double digit lead in the polls for a year that has just risen to 17 points following the Kami-Kwasi budget.
whenever someone starts yammering about "unlimited immigration" you know exactly the cult of xenophobia you live in and why its so easy for the rich to fool you....meanwhile your "royals" are walking around with billions of bucks because they exist....loser.....you are in this mess because folks like you are so bigotted they can simply say "immigrants" and it triggers you to vote against yourself lol......so easy
Two typical behaviours of a narcissist - its as simple as that. Stonewalling when found out or accused of a lie/fraud/failure during which time they desperately hope to come up with an answer or going no contact for so long in the vague hope that people forget the problem. And gaslighting - the version of reality that fits their internal chaos.... whether its true or not, whether its rational or not, they respond with a script and ignore everything else until they can crawl back under the rock they came from that day
Take a moment to look back at all the Tories who lined up for leadership contest, and then try and work out how we ended up with the absolute worst candidate.
@@allip4226 Badenoch was spewing American Right-wing talking points. Our politics is harrowing enough without just fully importing their nonsense. We dodged a bullet there for now.
Liz Truss won't last very long at this rate. The Tories are dragging us down the drain very quickly. Thankfully Scotland is going to leave this broken system. Best of luck
During Covid, the Bank of England printed an additional 490 billion pounds. About £70 billion was used for furlough, where did the other £420 Bn go? Well, it created the insane inflation we are all paying for now. And, the wealth of the top richest Brit’s grew by? Yes, indeed…
Lizz and her Chancellor have played Casino economics and bet the bank and the biggest tax giveaways primarily to the rich and borrowing that breaks 50 year record
Can't believe you don't recognise this is deliberate. From Blair through Truss, they all have huge investments based on shorting the pound and this is their harvest season.
Consequences? What consequences will they ever face? A comfortable pension with all the luxury imaginable? The whole country suffers and will suffer the consequences but the rich - the very one making these decisions. This is so horrible to watch.

Must be some of the most awkward tea room interactions in the histroy of the workplace. I am glad James no longer hold back on how much he absolutley loathes Ferrari.
but she is a remainer James. Didn't take you long to start eating your own. BOE failed to act on interest rates before the mini budget was even announced. The fed did but BOE sat on their hands. How you can paint the BOE as the saviour is beyond common sense.
People will die this winter, freezing in their houses.... It's absolutely horrific and unethical, the richest of society will get richer and the poor will literally die. I worry about my family not making ends meet, we already had to use credit cards this month just so we can fuel up. It's getting tight
Ignore Bank of Japan distraction. BOJ intervened to compensate for not raising interest rates. Bank of England intervened to shore up liquidity after a chaotic and effectively unaudited mass give away by the new Government. Spot the difference ? Apples and pears.
it is not a new Government in Westminster. A new PM who, along with her cabinet, are totally unhinged! To quote her words "deliver, deliver, deliver" she should have said "deliver, deliver, deliver us from evil". Wait till she starts on wholesale deregulation of financial institutions, planning laws, and whatever else - SOS 🤤 .
How many days is 1 million seconds ? 11 days How many days is 1 billion seconds ? 31 years If you spent £1 every second of every day it would take 2,015 years to pay back what the BOE created in 1 day to bail out the bond/ debt market. So paying back the national debt at £1 every second of every day would take millions of years

I read the other day that next week the UK’s credit rating is also up for review. I can only imagine that our credit rating will have decreased significantly based on what has happened since the mini budget, the knock on impact will be increased rates of borrowing as we’re considered a much greater risk, which is going to cost us all even more money.

Party leaders chosen from their best in the Tory pool assumingly ,imagine how bad the rest are ,
Kamarkasi politics by miss trust .Pushed Brexit, A crook self serving boris now a wreck the economy
Mistrust Tories must really hate Britain it has to be intentional no one's that thick?
Its full of em 🤣
In their parliamentary party.
This was the best they have out of 357 members of parliament.
I've had more intellectual conversations with Alexa, then Liz "I Don't Trust" Truss has ever done. She gets excited about pork and cheese 🧀 ffs 😅😅
All these people should be sacked and shamed. and never be allowed to deal in politics ever again. Form a new government all under one party that are paid a salary the same as everyone else in the working class. And should be made to pay back all the money they have stolen from taxpayers.
Thankfully I’m an Australian living in a country who threw out the conservative government in May with an overwhelming sigh of relief! I don’t understand why there’s not millions out in the streets demanding an election, Now! What a disaster!
,
Well, i've restrained myself until now but the question really needs to be asked: does Liz Truss's IQ level actually reach double digits?
Short answer -no!
Only if you put a minus sign in front of it.
Barely
Nope. She's a poorly programmed Maybot 2.0..
She's so dumb. She doesn't even know her own policies. She's going around these interviews saying "no one will pay more than £2500 under my cap" she doesn't have a clue how her own cap works. I blame Tory members who repeatedly elect the absolute worst, and most incompetent people.
I'd say The UK learned a lot after Boris Johnson, but Liz Truss proved that'd be a lie.
I tell myself that the system must be rigged in order to stop me from shooting myself.
The UK as a whole had nothing to with Liz Truss becoming PM, that was all the members of the conservative party.
Simply proof of the term "it could always be worse couldn't it?". Well. Now it is, catatrophically worse.
Lol oooh because keir starmer would be an upgrade. 😂😂😂😂
We have no say on the conservative leadership, we can have a say in a general election, something they denied!
I have full confidence in Liz Truss........................................Taking this country over a F###### cliff.
Lol.
lol
We are all taking this country over the cliff by expecting money for nothing.
What i do not understand is how Kwasi could get the idea that "taxes" would hinder or further economic expansion. If i invest i do not pay taxes. They are simply non existent for me. If i take out the money i have to pay those taxes. Lowering taxes means i can REMOVE investment and take out money easier. Not PUT IT IN. I can not follow the arguments of Kwasi that lowering taxes means more investment. It does not.
Lowering administrative burdens, lowering buerocratic red tape, lowering housing taxes and taxes for the poor workers means more investment, removing and selling NHS to the US, removing workers rights, allowing enslavement, allowing indentured workers with their whole families like it was done in the 18th century - of course including unpaid child labor - helps investing into the economy. But certainly not remove taxes for the rich!
Never forget that this Brexit Britain and we are living the dream! 🤣 🇬🇧 Do you remember the bad old days when we were in the EU and could feed our families and heat our homes 🏡 .......Awful wasn't it!!!! 🇪🇺

@@chatham43 Literally no one has read what you’ve said and thinks you’re clever
I still believe that the Titanic was an insurance scam, seeing that it was massivley over-insured after its collision with a cruiser, and that it was intended to have it sunk in a managed way. Unfortunately, the co-ordinates were incorrect for its place of sinking.
Truss campaigned on the platform of tax cuts. She can hardly deny that stance (and cut the chancellor loose) now. No-one would believe it was all him.
I don't recall her talking about Bush's trickledown failure.
It makes you wonder: What would a party teeming with members in the top tax bracket stand to gain from voting such a person into office...
She campaigned on that to around 150,000 Tory Party members, the vast majority of whom are extremely rich, or more than rich enough to personally benefit in a very material way from it. This shouldn't have been up to them, it should have been a General Election. You can't have 150,000 people voting on someone who will have ultimate power over 70million. That should be a mandate from the masses, not the minority in an already massively bias'd group.
They are both driven by ideology so blindly that they can't take corrective action, because to do that would be to admit that their grand theories actually have errors in them...
She just publicly blamed the chancellor for the tax cuts...
Truss is totally, catastrophically out of her depth but lacks the basic self-knowledge to see it. She is a serious danger to this country and is putting all British citizens at risk. She has to go ASAP.
CONSERVATIVES PUT THE N IN CUTS
Most people don’t quite realise that when the Bank of England prints money to buy government bonds, they are literally increasing inflation to fund a tax cut for the rich.
That inflation increase, is a tax on everyone. So, they’re not only decreasing taxes for the rich, they’re increasing taxes (inflation) for everyone else, to give it to the rich.
Nice one!
You are right. Something that was intended to correct the misleading, irresponsible and ridiculous government policy will turn out increasing the danger of total collapse.
Holyyyy Jesus…
Accruing money supply is inflation, price increase is a consequence.
Yes, QE devalues the currency (you know that thing that Truss and her chancellor tanked).
Gilt rates went up massively which makes government borrowing much more expensive just when they went to borrow more than ever to fund the rich man's tax cut and energy cap.
This caused a massive sell off in the bond markets and almost bankrupted pension funds, you know the things regular foke pay into for old age, nothing important really).
That is exactly what Donald Trump did when he was President in US. You have my sympathy.
Liz Truss is doing exactly as directed, this is scary and is in effect a form of fascism playing out before our eyes.

Never trust a politician.Politicians tell lies.Lies cost lives.
Unlike James, I'm a great believer in trickle down economics. People don't understand that money travels down the economic chain, much like nutrients through a human centipede.
Most desperate people do not have time to wait for your so named dribble down economics. The situation is critical for 80% of the population. You may be fortunate enough to wait, but you are in the minority.
When has a politician ever, EVER! admitted there wrong?
Especially after a week as disastrous for the UK economy we have ever witnessed.
Keith Joseph admitted government economic policy from 1979 to 1981 (monetarism) had been a failure, and they abandoned it.

tory bad and tory worse lol
No, they want all the Tories out, which is why Labour have had a double digit lead in the polls for a year that has just risen to 17 points following the Kami-Kwasi budget.
The last 12 years have been disastrous - I wouldn't want MAY back - or any of them - they are all UNFIT FOR PURPOSE!
Bet all you like, she signed our country away for unlimited migration in 2015 and no, we don’t want her back.
whenever someone starts yammering about "unlimited immigration" you know exactly the cult of xenophobia you live in and why its so easy for the rich to fool you....meanwhile your "royals" are walking around with billions of bucks because they exist....loser.....you are in this mess because folks like you are so bigotted they can simply say "immigrants" and it triggers you to vote against yourself lol......so easy
Two typical behaviours of a narcissist - its as simple as that. Stonewalling when found out or accused of a lie/fraud/failure during which time they desperately hope to come up with an answer or going no contact for so long in the vague hope that people forget the problem. And gaslighting - the version of reality that fits their internal chaos.... whether its true or not, whether its rational or not, they respond with a script and ignore everything else until they can crawl back under the rock they came from that day
Yup
She is obeying those who have payed her.
Truss isn't giving the economy any support!
Take a moment to look back at all the Tories who lined up for leadership contest, and then try and work out how we ended up with the absolute worst candidate.
The scary thing is that I'm not sure we did. Kemi Badenoch and Cruella Braverman were even more extreme.

During Covid, the Bank of England printed an additional 490 billion pounds. About £70 billion was used for furlough, where did the other £420 Bn go?
Well, it created the insane inflation we are all paying for now.
And, the wealth of the top richest Brit’s grew by? Yes, indeed…

Didn't take you long to start eating your own.
BOE failed to act on interest rates before the mini budget was even announced. The fed did but BOE sat on their hands. How you can paint the BOE as the saviour is beyond common sense.
People will die this winter, freezing in their houses.... It's absolutely horrific and unethical, the richest of society will get richer and the poor will literally die. I worry about my family not making ends meet, we already had to use credit cards this month just so we can fuel up. It's getting tight
Ignore Bank of Japan distraction. BOJ intervened to compensate for not raising interest rates. Bank of England intervened to shore up liquidity after a chaotic and effectively unaudited mass give away by the new Government. Spot the difference ? Apples and pears.
it is not a new Government in Westminster. A new PM who, along with her cabinet, are totally unhinged! To quote her words "deliver, deliver, deliver" she should have said "deliver, deliver, deliver us from evil". Wait till she starts on wholesale deregulation of financial institutions, planning laws, and whatever else - SOS 🤤

Partridge interviewing Truss would be pure gold!
How many days is 1 million seconds ?
11 days
How many days is 1 billion seconds ?
31 years
If you spent £1 every second of every day it would take 2,015 years to pay back what the BOE created in 1 day to bail out the bond/ debt market.
So paying back the national debt at £1 every second of every day would take millions of years

I read the other day that next week the UK’s credit rating is also up for review. I can only imagine that our credit rating will have decreased significantly based on what has happened since the mini budget, the knock on impact will be increased rates of borrowing as we’re considered a much greater risk, which is going to cost us all even more money.
