Liz Truss to blame for Conservatives' damning election defeat as voters 'ruthlessly' reject Tories 

Who are the idiots believing she is to blame? Oh you’re one of them 🙈

The UK also paying in increased mortgages

@@philipd8868watch the mortgages rise even further under Labour …

​@@iaincrawford5472 who else did it but her....

Absolutely disgusted, there should be a minimum term served to receive that pension. She should be made to forfeit it.

That's Oxbridge PPE for you.

Classic example of the 'Peter Principle.'

She never got a chance to be fair to her, the market rejected her in five minutes.

@@abot5381 I wonder why?

Not hard given she has zero ability

Exactly. It's like blaming the sneeze for snow avalanche. The snow has been piling up and it would be inevitable that it was going to come. If it wasn't one thing to trigger it, something else would.

What is Tufton Street going to be doing from now on?

@@frankshailes3205 "What is Tufton Street going to be doing from now on?" Same old propaganda about trickle down economics. Fancy theories about how letting rich people hoard all the wealth in the country will improve everyone's lives.

Unless your a lizard...

@@frankshailes3205 I suspect they will back Reform from now on

MURDOCH

Indeed. Truss is an ar*e, but the conservative activists and the Moggite monsters are to blame as well. They were responsible for foistering Johnson, Truss, and the rest of that sorry crew on the rest of us.

Well said

Oh but she carried the heavy weight

It's picking buffoons as leaders, first by the electorate in 2019 then the Tories picked Truss. Sunack was not a buffoon but he made misstep after misstep starting with Braverman.

Add up the Tory and Deform votes in the results. 😱 I’m terrified.

It was my favourite cherished moment ❤

Jail without parole would've been justice....along with a few others in her party....

Former MPs get a pension in UK?

@@edsr164 as a former Prime Minister, she'll have Police protection for life plus a £130K pension in addition to any other salery she has. Not bad for 49 days of work. Somethimes, life does feel a little unfair.

Wow! Wish I could have that paid to me for doing jack all

She ought to get 20 years.....

She said why did they vote me out i was a long life lettuce cant understand it.😂😂😂

Typical narcissistic behaviour, it's always someone else's fault.

​@@NoxiousRob- she reminds me of the 45th prez of USA. They are always willing to blame others for their own failings and shortcomings.

And she is right. They wanted Sunak from the start. Who else can get the BoE to quickly sell off gilts and artificially move the market, while at the same time create a media smearing in a very short time, all before any policies are put in place, and ironically some respectable pundits were actually projecting growth with her policies? It was a stitch up.

@@NoxiousRobyou sir sound like an idiot

@@iaincrawford5472the free market, which I thought libertarians such as Truss are in favour of, is a stitch up? The alternative hypothesis is that her ideas were tested by reality and found to be a failure but perhaps you can’t accept that idea.

All the Trumpian conservatives should share the same fate. Thankfully the UK electorate are more measured, thoughtful and educated than their American counterparts. That said Starmer desperately needs to enact media reform to get the vested interest hackery and polarisation out of our national discourse.

The drug problem is worse than we thought

She was actually a good MP and well liked in the area. The Reform vote cost her the Win

Wait here. She’ll be back.

The one thing a goldfish has no knowledge of is the nature of water. Decades of indoctrination have caused people to vote against their own interests. This continues to be a problem in the UK. Only by being incredibly terrible have the Tories managed to get themselves voted out.

Maybe she had lots of relatives living in her constituency..can't imagine anyone voting for her otherwise. Deluded, arrogant and ultimately selfish individual. No redeeming features whatsoever and I resent she gets such a generous stipend. Insane.

Because this channel IS Murdoch owned

Media reform is necessary in every western democracy right now. Too much vested interest propaganda masquerading as news right now. We need to get back to sharing the same reality.

Who made you a 'we'?

@@ianworley8169 it's the Royal WE I am a distant relative of Chas.

​@@therealrobertbirchall Everyone is a distant relative of Chas.

Well both Truss and Rees Mogg are out so that's a good start.

Agree 100% And the final irony is that despite years of austerity, food banks, cost of living crisis, crumbling schools record hospital waiting lists the national debt was not reduced.

Don't forget Thatcher , and her badly thought through selling off council houses, just to ensure prolonging her term in office and not thinking of the consequences.

@@terencerowberry2444 In my opinion the Tories since 2010 were worse than Thatcher, particularly Cameron and Osborne. It takes some effort to accomplish that.

Did you know that LizzTruss campaigned to get rid of the monarchy when she was a young Lib Dem?

@@motimobo oh, I wonder if there is some conspiracy theory in there.....

Could we send her to Trump?

I remember that one time the Tories sent her to the economy and 2 days later the economy died.

@@globalistgamer6418 What was really hit was the pension funds. Some lost 30%.

Then don’t call him a god. Commas matter.

What role did Mandelson play? Enlighten us on why you call him a slimey egomaniac.

In 1993 I attended a conference in London with my politics A Level class. Mandleson was the first speaker. Most of us vaguely knew who he was (this was when John Smith was leader of the Labour Party and Mandleson was out of favour), but he'd lost not just us but the whole room within about one minute of starting to speak. It was quite remarkable to see it happen, because I couldn't pin it down to anything specific that he said, there was just something about him that rubbed everyone up the wrong way (and it wasn't an inherently hostile crowd, based on the reaction to other speakers I'd say it was mostly left and centre-left in its sympathies). Coloured my opinion of him for years, although I should in fairness say that he doesn't annoy me now as he did back then.

@@fritzhenning1 Are you blind or just slow?

I hate it when people maline Jeremy Corbyn as he's such a genuine bloke. He inspires a lot of people. He's slagged off for talking to "the enemy" but dialogue and debate is essential to work through problems. He understands that.

In 2010 all three of the major parties stood on an austerity platform. People like to forget that.

Too much buy in to think tanks like the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Institute for Government and worse. Far too much. The government needs to do its own research. See what Opendemocracy have written about Tufton Street.

Mordant cuz truss had no future i reckon

It was a beautiful moment.

Don't sleep on Michael Green (only real ones know...)

She has some competition in Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak. Each created disasters in their own way.

Not Boris, who mentored her & paved the way for her, and made Brexit a real disaster? Not Cameron, who set up the whole Brexit disaster and then bailed?

@@Daneelro Both Cameron and Johnson are a close second and third.

It's been a disaster since 2015. Unbelievable that they got away with Brexit and we are not discussing this at the election. Hopefully the next election there will.be a mandate for single market and customs union

​@@DaneelroCameron was the worst. He did more to damage british citizens rights, quality of life and future opportunities than any other prime minister. Brexit destroyed the economy and political standing of UK making it an insignificant former world power. If we had been sanctioned like Russia it couldn't have been worse

The market didn't react to truss's actions. Anyone watching the euro saw it do exactly the same as the gbp because Biden opened the taps on US reserves at the same time, it was a political hit job that the media played along with.

@Darren-pq5oc "It put money in workers pockets" Errr... Elementary arithmetic. It put money into the pockets of the rich and also reduced the wealth of the country, which means that poor people would be worse off one way or another. Cutting taxes, but also cutting public services that everyone except the very rich depend on, makes workers worse off even though they have more money in their pay packets. Doubling mortgage payments for people with mortgages, and therefore ramping up people's rent for people in private rented housing is not exactly putting money in worker's pockets is it?

​@Darren-pq5ocum...no it didn't. 😂

@Darren-pq5oc You need Jesus in your life mate.

​@Darren-pq5oc 1.the budget wasn't passed, so no it didn't put money in anyone's pocket. 2. It was a magic money tree budget. Cut taxes and spend spend spend. The idea was akin to having less petrol in the tank than usual and achieving a higher mileage. People start asking , "how?", and the wheels fell off.

Because a lot of us could see the obvious agenda against her. Truss is not why the Tories lost . They lost because of a half-arsed Brexit, mass immigration, illegals being given red carpet treatment, justice system insanity, and COVID. I note that the man advising the government during covid and insisting on more lockdowns and more spending has now joined the Labour cabinet. Alongside Sue Gray the ‘unbiased’ Partygate civil servant Sue Gray. Suspicious no??

That is a worrying thing. Roughly 1 in 3 people are so away with the fairies that they'll vote Tory or Reform despite the visible evidence of the wreckage due to right wing policies in the last 14 years.

Brexit was only disastrous because they ruined it. Because non of them believed in it like many patriotic Brits did.

Almost word for word what I was saying to someone earlier today. I can’t blame Sunak, he was only keeping the seat warm because of the irreparable damage already done.

Exactly this. Just missing the £400Bn that Boris spaffed up the wall (gave to his mates) during "covid procurement" Test & Trace etc. Liz Truss doubled down on clownish stupidity with a £30Bn immediate economic hit to the economy and a £300Bn hit to mortgage holders that's still ongoing. Best part of a trillion pounds lost, and that's without factoring in Brexit (whatever people political views, there are no net positives)

Half agree - he was dealt a bad hand, but he also played it badly.

Bozo and net zero. Crazy

Not at all wrong there, add corrupt, twitter and bisted old queen.

@@MordechaiTheFoul Mandelson was a freeloader par excelance. Dodgy loans and euro gravy train. A perfect example of someone who jettisoned his socialist principles the moment he saw the honeypot.

Kwasi gave all her the pork she needed. As he did Amber Rudd before her. All the nice Tory girls love Kwasi's prodigious package.

That. Is. A. Disgrace.

​@@JupiterThunderThe old Tory motto "Use what you've got to get what you want" 🤣🤣🤣

*Stares directly into camera looking self-satisified*

I’ll take these odds.

*Truly brilliant, Andy!*

@kiterJ And made the City of London jump with joy!

@@boota1979 How on earth did Liz Truss make the City of London jump for joy?

@@t.dmytryshyn2615 Where do you think the government got the money/debt from to plug the massive 30 billion hole she wiped off the economy?

Mortgage advisor perhaps?

She can go manage rubles for Putin.

More likely to be election advisor to Trump now Farage won't be going.

​@@anthonybrown4874 Whi says Farage won't be going?

@hypsyzygy506 it's a bad look for any current MP costing up to that meglomaniac

Well that and the very large tax cuts she was offering to the rich and super wealthy.

Rishi Sunak was not chosen by the Conservative Party membership because, unlike Liz Truss, he was not "one of us".

​@@petertaylor1447 "One of us" = "⚪"

The membership liked Truss. Now imagine what it takes to still be a member of the Tory Party after what they have done over the past 14 years.

It's the entitlement and incompetence of the Tories that was the spike in the heart of Conservatives.

@@t.dmytryshyn2615 Two more words I have for them - complacency and arrogance.

Indeed. Polls were predicting several senior Tories were at risk of losing their seats. Few if any surprises.

The Portillo moments were from Labour. In a few places the Left got organised and dispatched right wing Labour figures such as Jonathan Ashworth and Thangam Debbonaire . They very nearly got Wes Streeting and Jess Phillips.

She was leading the party and country though

@@leonrobinson8180 She might be more at fault than most, but the rot goes a lot deeper than the figurehead.

Right on.

Lettuce actually

She was right. The ‘crash’ narrative was mostly bs. Interest rates were going up anyway. If she’d been allowed to continue we might be in a very different place now in a growth economy. But of course that’s not the plan. The parties of Davos can’t have a successful Britain, how else will they force us back under the thumb of the EU?

Why push these lies and crazy nonsense about Starmer? Who is paying you to do this? We know it is in Iran and Putin's interest to push this false narrative.

West Norfolk says goodbye

Starmer has been a habitual liar. Dishonest to the core. Your view is only possible because this time the media has covered for Starmer, the way they covered for Johnson in 2019.

Elitist entitlement at its best!

C U Next Tuesday

True. He split the conservative vote.

It's the UKIP/ERG problem again that Cameron allowed the Brexit vote for in order to appease them. All for nothing now, the right is split anyway. And we have had a disastrous hard Brexit that has cost the average person £2000.

She was going to borrow £60Bn and dole it out to the already wealthy in tax breaks. Can't imagine why the multimillionaire owned Murdoch supported her, can you?

Absolutely!

Sorry, she is the most popular leadership candidate with Tory members and she certainly does stand a chance. I prefer Tugendhat myself but he is not popular with the members. I do not support the Tories by the way!

Two Peas in a ROTTEN POD

Because a significant portion of the British electorate is extremely right wing.

Because the logic of the centrist narrative completely collapses if you consider 2017. All centrists do this, its very 1984.

Yes but us tactical voters tactically voted democratically to get the tories out. We worked within the established system and got the result we wanted. Next, tories will be shrieking that first past the post is broken because it didn’t benefit them this time. Funny that. Next, they’ll be screaming for proportional representation.

I doubt very much that working class people are dumb enough to buy Reform lies and bigotry.

He once said and I paraphrase ' Don't worry about the plebs, they've nowhere else to go.' Referencing the electorate.

Many were voting the Tories out rather than voting Labour in. I think Labour will prove themselves. The electorate is only now waking up to how much they were lied to.
