Watch in full: Liz Truss holds press conference after Kwasi Kwarteng’s resignation 

Did they always do openly admit they’re controlled by “the markets”

Well if they had different questions maybe you wouldn't get the same answers.

Are you talking to God, or is that just a bad habit you have in the way you talk ?

The questions was pre planned ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

@@manbearpigsereal Cope.

She cannot grasp that people find the deliberate distortion offensive and patronising. No one buys it.

Blame the boogie man

Yes. It makes her look silly.

They can’t mention Brexit anymore

Its what she got taught from Boris 😂

I know I thought that too, my boy asked me the other day who I prefer and I almost choked on the words as I said Boris🤕

Boris had some intelligence. Lizard Truss is as dumb as a donkey. She's out of her depth. Makes Theresa May look competent.

Anything from labour would be far worse. Boris should never have quit. His problem was the remainers in the tory party who won't give up their dream of getting back on the EU gravy train for worthless politicians. Nobody would have been popular after the situation Boris got landed with. All the party stuff was just eyewash from the media with the same agenda. We voted leave. He got the blame.

Hey now, you sound like you’re part of the ANTI GROWTH COALITION.

Slogans are how politicians speak to stupid people like us...

With some shades of economic stability

@@romainviry3185 hehe, cheeky, Romain, very cheeky.

She and her Chancellor played Casino economics and bet the bank

the market is anti-growth

Democracy to vote? What democracy? Only the rich can vote for themselves for their own benefit. It’s no exception that the poor are the sufferers.

She couldn't get off that stage any faster if she tried! She's well in over her head mate only in power two weeks and u turned on so many issues this job is to big for her

@Carrot Cruncher hahaha yeah I saw that!! What mess are we in when the two big countries have leaders who are that clueless? Biden looks like he could drop dead any day or week and lisz looks like a fish out of water

Are they as thick as the farm yard excrement, that made pork markets?

@Carrot Cruncher err not true she had to be shown the door a couple of weeks ago, pity she found her way back through it..

😂😂😂

What an excellent comment!

She never answered any direct question before.

She avoids answering questions like no-one I've ever witnessed. You can tell she has no idea what's she's doing it's like playing a record on loop. Off with her head.

She answered all of them the same. Economic growth blah blah blah

I think in America, that would be labelled 'a train wreck' of a press conference.

and yet she got through all the elections without answering questions and is now a representative of the people. says a lot about the people!

the world economic Forum great reset is the problem not the solution

She's crashed her car due to bad driving but is convinced she can fix it.

And it was a lie. Her only "hardship" is that she didn't like her school. She has no idea "what it's like to grow up in an area that's not feeling the benefits of growth". She knows what it's like to grow up as the child of an emeritus professor, to go to school in Canada, to go to Oxford...

Let's leave the Ukraine problem just for a moment, and concentrate on the homeless and the helpless. And just for the record, there are no friends in politics Liz, you know that more than anyone else!

We're facing huge bills NOW. Wakey wakey Prime Minister!!!

I was falling asleep 💤 a minute into her speech. Incredibly sorry to lose KWASI. 😂😂😂👍

See my answer further above. She grew up down the road from me in affluent and comfortable Roundhay in Leeds. Loads of grand houses to prove it Daft woman. What's wrong with her????

NONE OF THEM DO!

Do any of them?They are all in those positions to get what they want.Its not about what the country needs it's about how politicians can line their own pockets.Will ANY of them struggle this winter....of course not.They never struggle and never will

so as 99% of the people commenting here

that membership to the world economic Forum at half a million a year isn't worth it

Handbrake Truss: We’re not going to do a U-turn Next day: all of the U-turns

When you hear that saying you know the knives are out & they're gone within hours .

@@MattB-st6ky they're just doing donuts atm

he was going nowhere from birth

One of the BBC journalists was explaining recently that they have to remain "well behaved" or they won't be invited to the next interview or press conference.

@@FoxBox72 If a politician gives a speech but no journalists are around to cover it, does it make a noise?

@@FoxBox72 bbc lmfao they are the most corrupt woke organisation

The "journalists" work for the same people she does, they're not gonna go off script and risk their huge salaries. It's all one big lie/distraction.

@FoxBox🦊 Look who runs the bbc now, they're all tories, it's state propaganda.

Who we going to replace them with please don’t say Labour.but I agree they need to go but not Labour ffs

True what more is there to see of these Tories they should be investigated for corruption since the pandemic to the pound drop to the dollar

The chancellor lost his job 🤣

The Chancellor was held accountable for the Prime Minister's actions.

Jack Nicholson's romance novelist character in As Good As It Gets, when asked how he writes women so well..."I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability!"😂😂

Welcome to politics.

She IS a second-rate student.

I have no problem with politicians reading prepared speeches, as it is important for them to express their intentions clearly rather than providing ad hoc answers. The issue is her inability to address the questions AFTER her prepared speech.

Biden Syndrome

It was noted lol didn't want to be there did she .

I laughed out loud. "I'm outta here!"

I'd say like Joe Biden, but his is more of a shuffle.

I laughed out loud too! She saw the questions were not going the right direction for her!

What will that solve? As bad as the Tories are, Labour are way worse for the country.

I'm 3 minutes in and already completely drunk

@@burtonsmith7942 😂

🤣🤣 and if by chance you survive that move over to engery cap

I’d need a new liver if I played that game

Legless 😂

what are they trying to distract us from with all this circus antics

As an American, I wondered the same thing about ex-president (thankfully) Trump. Sorry to see your country going through such a challenging time.

@@madhavyu thanks, hopefully we’ll come out the other side soon to. It’s a very strange political climate in the western world.

Blackrock runs all

This Liz lady who's mother and father clearly had a bit of money can't run a bath! I'm sick of these pencil pushers who think they have authority or status in our society just because there parent's made a little bit more money then other's and sent their children to Oxford University! These toff's all have skeleton's in their closets, they have no idea about business, no idea about standards! it's just the idea that tarts like this think they have any type of power! Like an old head mistress who is shagging the year 11 pupil... skeletons and contradiction!

let's get rid of all the politicians that are part of the world economic Forum great reset agenda

Except it wasn't... it was a transparent amateur fail, that showed zero; oratory flair, power to persuade, energy, charm etc. Like a first attempt.

The questions was pre planned ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

And how to not show any anger or emotion. quite remarkable actually!

@@j0nnyc00l I think you mean the _answers_

@@jonasbaine3538 🤖 _"growth...energy cap... two years not six months... Putin's illegal war.... Global downturn.... Bank of England"_

YES only an idiot would give him the second most important job O hang on...

same as Liz Truss

... and even after getting hand picked questions, she still has no meaningful responses!

Not sure those were hand picked - they stuck it to her good and she repeated the same crap! Speech summary: Deliver - 14 times, Growth - 12 times, Economic Stability - 10 times. Well done Liz for learning new words every week. You get a sticker!

@@Dangerous_Brian She thought the Telegraph would play nice. She thought wrong.

She wants to be Maggie.

In a wealthy area of Leeds ... 🤔

That's right but her background is irrelevant anyway, I'm not impressed by people in power who talk about their 'humble beginnings' because even if someone WAS really brought up in the same circumstances as most ordinary people are, it doesn't NECCASSARILY mean they will have any greater empathy for ordinary people now. In fact, those rich and powerful people that started off relatively poor are the biggest oppressors of poor people, seeing as they think because they made it, there must be something wrong with those who didn't make it, like they are "lazy" or something, they won't ever admit to just being lucky. Look at Alan Sugar, or Lord Sugar as he is now, a former E End working class boy who made it big, he has no mercy for losers, he only likes winners like himself, so long as someone has money and is successful, that's all he cares about and if someone has no money he despises them, humble beginnings don't always make nicer, more sympathetic rich and powerful people, more like the opposite!

Cycle of abuse.

Is that supposed to detract from her statement? Benefits from growth under Thatcher were far from universal even when the aggregate economy grew, not to mention the effects of her policies on jobs, businesses and families in some regions

Yes, the markets were at fault for not recognizing her genius

the market is so corrupt

That's just another way of saying he's taking notes

She literally works for Shell.

Soon as workers need a pay rise to actual live, the media puppets say "where's the money coming?!?!" Yet when corporations literally bleed the country dry they say absolutely nothing. The media, Westminster, the energy companies, corporations are all in the same yacht.

You mean the ones that have cost the taxpayer £17m over the past three years? Sounds good to me 👍

Unfortunately Labour and Tories seem to be 2 sides of the same out of touch, agenda driven politicians...

Shouldn't need to the amount Boris and his Mrs spent

Mental health grounds!!! The woman’s a raving lunatic.

No. Time for laughing is done. He's actually very very concerned.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Boris, but right now he looks Churchillian compared to this car crash.

@@iangilbert7722 absolutely!

@@uapnz0698 I don't think he's concerned at all, he's over the pond making a killing on the US after-dinner circuit. All well and good until you remember that he's still getting a salary for being an MP in the UK, a job he is manifestly not doing. Most of this mess is on him, really.

@Ian Gilbert What was good about him?

But that would mean we would live in a Democracy

Bravo 😂 most accurate description of this government

I would rather see anyone of those teachers in this position than the clown parade we have had lately

She not even dare to say goodbye with eye contact to anyone.

@@steveyeung4764 exactly

not this at all and you have no grasp on the situation. She is not in any position here to say she will carry on whether we like it or not, she is severely on the ropes and about to be ousted by her own party. She'll be gone before Christmas mark my words. Just for comparison, Kwasi said only yesterday he was "absolutely 100%" staying in the job.

@@drey8 Yes I agree but she 's doing like Kwasi, the confident politician that is condemned and she knows it.
