Liz Truss can now go and visit her friend Steve Bannon in prison.

It is not her paying the price, but the UK tax payer subsidising her over generous, undeserved pension

It's not only liz truss, was also Boris's partying, lying and braking rules.

It's not just Truss it was her backers at the ERG and the rest of Tufton St. they bragged how her and Kwasi Kwarteng budget was theirs and theirs alone. Sleep with the dogs and wake with the fleas

It's not just Liz Truss, it's the whole lot of them.

So glad the Tories like Suella as a leader - there's a kiss of death for them. What a gift for Kier Starmer.

It's the ultimate karma that Truss lost her seat. Being madder than a box of frogs doesn't justify wrecking the economy and causing a lot of financial hardship, and her result shows she hasn't been forgiven. And why would voters want to forgive someone who never said sorry? It'll take days to come up with all the reasons the Tories were decimated, but if Partygate wasn't already the final nail in the Tory coffin, then Truss crashing the economy and wrecking the Tory claim for economic competence certainly was.

Only thing I remember about Liz Truss, Tory sent her to the Queen and 2 days later Queen died.

She still gets 130k per year as a former PM, so no tears please.

Badenoch is going to get found out pretty quick if she gets the leadership. Shes not half as bright as she thinkks she is and she doesnt know how to handle the split in the Tories. Lets hope she does become leader.

Truss blames everyone, everything but herself. She believes she is never to be blamed.

What Liz Truss did, was apply the finishing blow. She confirmed to the voters the tories were clueless and totally out of touch with reality. But the disaster that Sunak / tories had started with Cameron and austerity 14 years a go, made worse by brexit, general mismanagement of government and finally Liz Truss. Those were all the self-inflicted wounds.

No mention of Murdoch's role in keeping the liars and thieves in office. And we are sick of Mandrax and his self justification.

Cameron and Osborne did the most damage. With austerity that the country has not recovered from. And they paved the way for a load of nutters like Truss, Rees Mogg, Patel etc. to have prominent positions in the party. A pair of scoundrels.

It's not Lizard Truss who's paying the price. ....... It's EVERYONE ELSE !!

The fact that over 11000 people in that constituency thought..... " yup she gets my vote " is the most concerning thing.

A woman who's ambition far exceeded her actual abilities. Finally caught out and removed from public life.

Truss was the most dangerous, deluded, arrogant MP in recent times. And that's saying something.😮

Showing a similar amount of style and grace in defeat as she showed in office. Sadly, the country will have to pay for her pension, but at least they won't have to listen to her any more.

Truss losing her seat feels like a little bit of justice.

Lettuce dwell on it no more.

All of them bear the blame. Cameron for calling the Brexit referendum. BoJo the Clown for, well, being a clown, holding Covid parties, and for supporting the disastrous Brexit vote. Truss for all the things discussed here. Sunak probably deserves the least amount of blame. By the time he got the captain's job the boat had been holed amidships, the keel was cracked, and it was taking on water faster than the pumps could handle.

The fact Truss lost her seat restores my faith in Britain

Liz Truss, for me, was the Portillo moment

Liz Truss has been over her head from the beginning but has mined the system from the beginngin for self aggrandizement like so many in her party.

I am surprised that she still got so many votes.

Peter Mandelson is so smug and self satisfied. I am no Tory, but Finkelstein is a much better commentator

Liz Truss on Strictly Come Dancing 2024 : 8-1💃 Grant Shapps : 6-1 🕺 Penny Mourdant : 12-1 🧚‍♀️ Rees-Mogg : 1000-1🕴

now Truss can give her 100% to pork markets and cheese

I voted for Labour, but God Mandelson is such a slimey egomaniac.

The whole point of voting them out is they havent taken any responsibility for their mistakes and bad policies. Liz Truss is the perfect example

Was there a real 'Portillo moment'? Portillo was a shock. I think this time there was a quiet satisfaction as they fell, although the real big beasts had already jumped. I think Gove should have been the Portillo moment.

Truss was the party darling. she became PM because the tory party wants someone like her to sell them dreams. The essence of the tory party is that they want someone like Liz Truss to be PM if they think they can get away with it. That's why they voted for Truss to become party leader and why Sunak lost, and when he became party leader it was only because there wasn't a party vote.

Liz Truss, Financial Advisor, for hire.

People seemed to have missed that the Liz Truss budget was greeted by Farage as the best budget since the eighties.

Truss's personal loss in Norfolk was the largest swing ever recorded.26%.

Interest rates were bound to go up after covid anyway, but Truss made it much, much worse than it needed to be. This hurt everyones pockets

Truss is cut from the same cloth as Lucy Letby, oblivious to the harm they have caused, they smile like angels.

OK blame ‘the woman’ really?? Tories need to look at themselves as currently they are completely disconnected from reality

Shorter shelf-life than a cabbage, and fewer brain cells than one too.

Blaming an individual is dishonest. Conservative policies are bad no matter whose face you put on them.

She reminds me of an eccentric high school teacher who habitually loses her classroom keys.

24:32 Danny should do stand-up comedy. The reform party already irreparably wounded the conservatives. Reform have the policies that people want enacted but not the means to do so. The Tories failed over 14 years and the Labour Party will not be able to make any meaningful impact in the next 5yrs either and so it goes on.

And yet Truss is very proud of crushing the British economy.

Thetford says goodbye to Liz Truss…

It's grossly offensive for Mandelson to say that their failed candidates are victims of the Gaza war, given Starmer's support for genocide there. He has permanently alienated these people potentially.

"Conservatives to blame for Conservatives' damning election defeat as voters 'ruthlessly' reject Tories" ... there, fixed it for youze

No, no no. They don't understand it at all.

Bye bye cun... Eh i mean Truss. Karma fookin bites 😂

She now gets to spend more time with her Trump family

She certainly was a kooky favourite of the Murdoch media 😂

Why Braverman and Badenoch kept their seats is beyond me😮

Starmer has been quite effective at calling out the hipocracy, untrustworthiness and incompetence of the Conservatives ... and positioning Labour as a trustworthy alternative.

Iran does not fund those who fight for human rights and the upholding of international law and shame on Mandelson for saying so.

Fix your government and voting system! England needs regional government, so it isn't all pointlessly concentrated in London. The North particularly needs to manage itself for many things, particularly infrastructure. And get on with fixing Brexit. That was the tombstone on the Conservative suicide. Face it, England is European, embrace it.

The incompetence meter went off the scale during Truss' tenureship of No.10. Mind you, it had been smoking away since Cameron. Five fingers of the same hand...... knuckleshufflers!

As much as i laughed out loud at the time when they made her PM, it wasn't ALL truss. it was the conservatives as a cohesive, useless, self serving unit. Cameron with Brexit, May on patch work, Boris on lies and propaganda, Truss on economic stupidity and sunak and out of touch and caretaker duty.

She was doing what Mogg told to do.

had nigel farage not returned the tories would have done a lot better

Carol Vorderman is the heroine of tactical voting.

Can't just blame Least Trust; Boorish and Richie have contributed greatly to their demise

Mandelson and Epstien, why is this guy still given a platform?

Mandleson conventiently patting himself on the back while putting Starmer down, all while sitting on the information that labour voteshare shrunk since 2017.

I’m a life long Torie but voted for labour due to the pigs ear the conservatives have created. It was time for a change. I was heartened by Keir Starmers speech and will fire vote for them again if they do a decent job. If they break their trust I’m sure they will be gone before they get a second term. Let’s give them the support they should have and wish them well. Spend wisely and invest in infrastructure not quangos and they may be around for a long time!

I worked at the houses of parliament when Truss was lobbying for mobile phone companies and as we were both (then) young women we ended up in the same bars. We called her 'The Sponge', she could absorb information which would then come out when she was squeezed, but ultimately filled with air.

Although I like the result, the implications are dire. Getting 60% of seats on 34% of the vote is just utterly bonkers. That's as far as you can get from democracy this side of Belarus. It's an elected dictatorship.

No she doesn’t pay a price. She has served her poisonous purpose and she will never feel the consequences of her political crimes against abusing the trust of the people she swore to serve. Never will shed a tear for a blatant liar.

Indeed. How hard is it to have a rational answer prepared to questions about genocide? So if he gets an easy decision like that wrong how can he be trusted with difficult stuff?

I noticed how he didn't wanna mention labours gains in 2017

Sack the sound engineer! I’m listening on headphones and every time Polly speaks it blows my ears off!

I like the easy, balanced, articulate and insightful way in which these programmes are presented. No rants, no interruptions or talking over. No trainers and t-shirts. A breath of fresh air, well done.

Polling in january 2020 had the Tories riding high at 53% and it was a gradual and steady decline to 23% over the next 5 years. They lost a lot of support due to COVID strategy and then inflation, bit there was no one big ossue that finished them off. The fact is that if governments have to make big decisions that affect a lot of people, many of those people will be unhappy with the decision that was made. They will blame the man in charge. It"s just the way it is.

Nice to see the buck stops well away from the real backstabbing teflon culprits.

She didn't even have the grace to acknowledge all the people who vote for her over the years. Just walked off the stage... Even JRM congratulated his opponent and thanked his former constituents.!

I was going to watch this and then I saw Mandelson…

Boris Johnson also had a massive part in the Tories downfall. The contempt that he showed for the public drinking and partying while others couldn’t say goodbye to their dying loved ones.

It's not Truss, or Sunak or the vile, dishonourable Johnson, it was every single one of them. Any that were not actively responsible, enabled the corruptions of the principle players by their inactions.

Imagine voting Labour and knowing you voted for people Mandleson supports..... It's enough to make you gag.

It already seems like another world. Lets just hope they never get back.

As someone who lives under preferential voting (which is probably a main form of pr), any change may not make the difference smaller parties and their followers fondly imagine.

truss johnson cummings patel braverman, i mean how many more awful people and politicans did they want to have. tory party needs to have a long hard look at the way they choose their mps

So happy she and the rest of her party are gone.

The rise of Reform and their impact in attracting enough votes to unseat sitting Conservatives may well cause the Conservatives to back rank choice voting.

Labour need to be careful next time. Their share of the vote did not change much from 2019 but they obviously gained many votes in unusual constituency. That must mean that they had a big churn in voters and many of the new voters will be very soft - exemplified by the Red Wall Tory voters this time.

Who paid the price for Liz Truss?

Now Liz Truss has lost her seat it will be intresting what she puts in her next job application, Iets hope she includes her 49 days as Pm where she can account for the loss of over £50 Billion in UK bonds... The woman wants deporting

Kemi Badenoch??? Dream on. If the Tory party members thought Rishi was a bit too dark, she wouldn't stand a chance.

Of course she's out. She porked the markets.

not just liz truss ,boris,sunak

I'd love to see interviews of people who voted conservative and ask them how much worse would it have to get before they switched alliance.

Not to forget Boris and Brexit and corporate greed epitomised in Mr R Sunak.

The Portillo moment was the Portillo moment - that was 27 yrs ago.

Talking Heads like Mandelson & Co - Who do not get how the little people have to live life.

That shade of foundation and lipstick looks like the same colour they put on my dear dead grandmother - when laid out in the funeral home

Mandelson?? really do one

As someone who switched vote away from the tories this election, she was not at all relevant in my decision. it was all of the broken promises that, after leaving the EU and being given an 80 seat majority, became evident were not circumstance but choices.

Is it not the fault of those in the party that elected her? the policies were well known prior to choosing her party leader

I feel sorry for Truss as the party itself was also complicit. It’s a shame she couldn’t act as Sunak did. An apology and head high to carry on for another day

Very interesting. Lovely to hear intelligent conversation with the usual ‘my party is better than your party’

To be honest conservatives talked big and thought small. The fact is British people are facing an hostile environment because of parliament and the refusal to face facts. They spend the tax payers money like it was easy money. Civil rights are used to blackmail indigenous people of the UK. So as a pensioner with health issues I am unable to get the treatment I paid for over my working g life. Accommodation is now available only for migrants. I face as an older man hostel comments and have had thousands of pounds stolen and the police do nothing but ask have you insurance.Racism is an attitude that is motivated internally it as nothing to do with the colour of a persons skin. The far right are growing stronger because the political system has been broken. Face it when Palestine supporters cause huge demonstrations in London and are demanding rights for another country go free and those British people who demand the pole-tax be abolished are locked up , and the law changed to punished them …what do you expect. The country is being dissolved into chaos by people who hate our way of life . Claim that they have been robbed by the British and we owe them . I am 70 years I was in the army when I was younger . I no longer matter to the elected government. Their leadership is unbelievable , stupidity seems to pay for them. Talk all you want about what you can say on tv but I believe your playing the viewer not speaking it as it is. The evidence is there the police chase after weak to for an easy conviction. Your judges play the game and seek approval not justice. Sadly it has woken the beast called British bulldog . The next election will be the one that brings real change . It’s never to late for a real change remember that
