Is Liz Truss Already Toast? 

Brilliant comment.

Hey, if one of your plans as prime minister is to increase national unity, nothing does that better than making everyone hate you equally. 😁

I swear Boris might be missed.

v funny callum ;-)

UK is the oldest democracy, it is the best. The British get what they deserve. 👍👍👍👍👍

If you actually believe her incompetence makes Boris look competent then idek that's a really scary representation of the average viewer

Let's not go that far. They were both a travesty (and yes I'm talking about Truss in past tense).

PMs are by far over rated in a modern kleptocracy.

For all of their top level educators they never learned the meaning of "Caveat Emptor."

no one wants to be leader of the conservative party now so we get the one person dumb enough to take the job.

Com back Boris, all is forgiven, in fact the Tories are doing an excellent job of shooting themselves in the foot. What an absolute shambles.

Just a friendly reminder that Truss didn’t even touch Brexit… yet… I hope she can do some more damage there before she leaves 😂 This stuff has been super entertaining to watch

Your in for more Silas. You see in-order to get what you want even Labor must do things differently and for an Islander's like you "change" will be a "bitter pill" to swallow. Islanders don't like "change" even if it benefits them in the long run they still don't like "change". So look to see more protests and tear gas in your future. Sorry, but change is always hard on the UK.

@@Madame702 Fear of change is not exclusive to just the UK. It is a constant, and it makes sense. People don't feel comfortable in a situation they have never faced before. It's expected for the vast majority to want the status quo to remain. If history has taught us anything, it's that the majority will reject any meaningful shake-up if it disrupts there "normal". Even if it's for the greater good in the long run. As for what the future holds, I'd say it doesn't matter where you are, it's going to get a whole lot worse. By a margin that makes todays inconveniences seem trivial. The next coming decades will define whether humanity is ready to colonise the stars, or burn up in a whimper. I wouldn't bother with petty differences, we are all in the same boat, and it is sinking.

@@fluffycarrot42 No Fluffy Carrot, you must understand your Islander, and your geography make you who you are. Islanders like yourself don't like change.

Spot on and that hole is going to get bigger until she is ousted. The conservative party on a whole is toast for supporting this madness never mind just her. This is corruption at it's best.

I'm not a Truss supporter (and also not a Tory supporter), but would Starmer have done any better in this current economic and political climate? The fuel crisis was ultimately triggered by the Ukraine crisis, which is completely out of the hands of the UK government. Being serious - how would Starmer (or Rishi for that matter) have made things any better? The UK is not the only country that's suffering economically in the world.

@@squodge TL;DR: Truss' economic plan was to pour rocket fuel into the inflation fire. In my economically illiterate opinion, Truss screwed up phenomenally. The energy price caps are understandable, but it's a risky economic move if not paired with austerity in other areas. You can't just print money to get out of high energy prices. You have to give something else up or the currency itself will start looking like Zimbabwe's. Which is why her other policy is so destructive. She decided it would be a good idea to cut taxes slightly for the working class and significantly for the rich instead of raising them, which was the previous administration's plan. Cutting taxes can help because it helps bring down high unemployment. However, it's a stimulus measure, which can raise inflation. The problem is unemployment in the UK is already low and inflation is already high, so this policy can do nothing but make things worse. This is Truss pushing Trickle Down Economics without reading the room.

@@ndgprasad There's no chance Liz has ever done anything sober.

yes but she's like his protegee. Johnson lobbied heavily for Truss to get elected. Like or hate Sunak, but unlike Truss he has been a genuine Brexiteer when that wasnt the most popular position in the party. And also he had guts to stand up against tax cuts when that wasnt a popular position either. And he was the one who had guts to liberate us from Johnson as PM finally. So I mean like or hate despite being mega rich Sunak kinda has principles. While Truss is like Johnson, just even less competent and more dependent and controlled. + she is kinda mental tbh.

Oh they'll find something to cut. People may be dying but are they dying fast enough? If they cut UC all together won't folk die faster and cheaper? If the hospital roofs are collapsing can't it just be sold off and not replaced? Never underestimate the shitfuckery they can do.

If there's no fat left, trim the meat, make a stew of the bones if the meat gets eaten all up too. There's always more to sacrifice, especially when one is starving. So while you people eat yourselves up I'll sit here on my fat butt and enjoy the clown show.

If it only affects the poor, so what, two years to screw then over even more. Love the get a better paid job argument from some Tories, some are already working two or even three jobs.

@@carkawalakhatulistiwa Maybe, but how did they achieve that I wonder? Mmmmm?

Well tax cuts make sense if you already have a booming economy. This attracts more rich people to enter that, invest, and so on. I don't quite get what's the point of giving rich people more tax cuts when everyone's so afraid of investing in the UK that they won't bring any new investors really. No sane person is gonna invest money in the UK economy, and tax cuts however big they are now wont change that. So basically positive effect is absent while negative effect is government getting less income in taxes.

@@Essentially_Nobody basic economics? You do tax cuts because you want more money to be left in hands of those who are gonna invest and spend + you want attract more potential investors/spenders. If you have for instance a nuclear winter in your country and everything is crazy regulated, energy is expensive etc then you can lower taxes as much as you want, no one is gonna invest and spend their extra money in your country. Everyone will invest elsewhere where ROI is higher. While when it comes to spending they gonna spend elsewhere too since buying whatever they want is gonna be cheaper elsewhere too. That's how trickle down economics is supposed to work. There is no point to lower taxes when other negative factors are so grave people just won't want to invest and spend in your economy still. This is like basic common sense. You lower taxes for the rich only when your country is doing well, or has all pieces of puzzle to be doing well. And you just wanna feel the body of its economy with the blood of extra money. Then you can lower taxes for the rich being sure that they are gonna spend that extra money in your country stimulating everything.

@@Essentially_Nobody You gonna be shocked dude, economics isnt a exact science and there is no such thing as hard evidence there. Otherwise you wouldnt have had so many different schools of economics. Wanna discuss economics and economic references with someone probably get real friends. Because no sane man has enough time to explain economics to some complete stranger on RU-vid and on top of that waste time giving you references as if I was writing an academic article.

@@tomashalusek9181 You got it the wrong way round, you don't want tax cuts during a booming economy as that can create bubbles. You want tax cuts when the economy is in the gutter. Tax increases when the economy is booming means you can capture some of the excess wealth and ensure that inflation doesn't get too out of control. That's basic economics, flattening the credit cycle.

@@Essentially_Nobody ye I guess I wont be taking orders as to what I must do from some entitled stranger online. I tell what I think im competent to tell. And if you disagree go and write sad post on twitter full of whining and so on.

she isnt the most extreme, and france has a presidential system apart from their PM. the PM of the UK is the leader of the largest party. thats how it works. its not like in america where the parties choose a frontrunner, the person elected to be the PM is literally the one who decides the direction of the party. the party becomes them. there is no way for the UK system to function without the parties electing leaders. also she was elected via transferrable vote. its one of the fairest systems available. if this is the outcome they got, its because its the outcome they wanted. the tories arent the people.

Ian Hislop is right, that is courageous. It’s also courageous to say ‘We need to cut our absurdly high tax rates and gut our out-of-control public-sector funding wastage’. Basically, it’s courageous to have a *plan*. Lizz Truss is completely incapable of convincing people she has a plan.

Low corporate taxes are a good thing. 25% is too high. 20% or lower is ideal.

​@@Wilhelmofdeseret Nope. The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said a “race to the bottom” on the headline tax rate on company profits had failed to boost investment and economic growth in Britain over the past 15 years. Slashing the headline rate from 30% in 2007 to 19% in 2019, orchestrated by the former chancellor, George Osborne, did not spur higher private investment or faster economic growth. Despite the repeated tax cuts to the lowest rate in a century, the UK fell behind Italy and Canada to rank with the lowest private sector investment in the G7 as a share of national income. The following year, the UK ranked 28th for business investment out of 31 members of a wider group of developed countries in the OECD. Studies have shown corporation tax cuts used by successive Conservative governments have had little bearing on business investment and economic growth, undermining the argument of free-market Tories that such tax breaks pay for themselves. Cuts to corporation tax came with a net cost to the exchequer of almost £73bn between 2010 and 2018, according to research by the Social Market Foundation. In only one year did an increase in business investment outweigh the cost. Business investment has flatlined in recent years amid concern over Brexit, then Covid, and a challenging economic outlook. Official figures show the level of investment remains 5.7% below where it was before the pandemic, while economists warn rising energy costs and sky-high inflation will put a dampener on spending. Governments around the world have committed last year to ending a race to the bottom on corporation tax, saying it had deprived national exchequers of revenue for funding vital public services, while benefiting footloose multinational corporations. Almost 140 nations, including the UK, agreed to set a 15% minimum rate. The IPPR report will raise fresh questions over Kwarteng’s desire to scrap a planned increase in corporation tax to 25%, starting in April, that had been set in motion by the former chancellor, Rishi Sunak. George Dibb, the head of the Centre for Economic Justice at the IPPR, said: “Slashing corporation tax is just a continuation of a failed race to the bottom that hasn’t delivered for the UK economy. Tax cuts are not a magic bullet to increase investment and growth. If the government were serious about boosting investment, it would be listening to businesses who want a serious economic strategy to support growth, boost innovation, and increase our low productivity. Instead, it thinks it can cut tax and deregulate its way to growth, which has failed before,” Dibb added. Unless you are rich and benefit from this, there is absolutely no reason to support lower corporate taxes.
