100% agree. Virtually all MPs are a disgrace. Andrew Bridgen can provide proof of that.

Let's hope you never have to witness another Tory government in your lifetime.

No one, absolutely no one in their right mind would disagree with that statement

Trump AND the Tories more like.

So you're a Conservative through and through then...😂

I don't agree. She had conservative policies. That is where she went wrong, oh and also Sunak failed to get the job so as the previous chancellor everything was in place to bounce her out of the job. I didn't agree with her policies but her termination was no surprise to me.

ABSOLUTEMENT.

Florida is damn amazing nowadays. California on the other hand is a disaster

He just said that's what people think not that its true. And people do think that despite all the evidence to the contrary. Labour have grown the economy massively every time they have got into power but somehow people forget this. I don't think people actually know the stats behind the economy they just got this idea that the Conservatives are good from somewhere and it wont shift.

​@@backgammonbaconThe result of Tory media outlets feeding the usual propaganda B.S.

I think it's more about a perception of reigning in "expenses". It's why the Blair government could go on a spending spree after Major. Obviously expenses mean different things to different people and as you cut ever deeper into ever aging infrastructure investment while international competition around you grows it becomes more of a dangerous tactic, Camerons austerity programme was particularly disastrous, evident by the stagnation in productivity in the UK since. I don't think Sunak is much different to Truss, re crippling HS2 and reducing investment in green industries, two areas that could actually improve productivity in the UK, specifically in the North, the Tories now are more like a one trick pony over reliant on the unicorn of the spontaneous entrepreneur that is meant to mythically appear from tax cuts where in reality tax cuts just increases our existing poor trade deficit and continues the cycle of the south east heavily to give hand outs to the rest of the country.

But they get very rich 🤑

Its just a comfort blanket they grasp at.

Probably why she was accepted into the Tory party.🤪😂

Very weird, only conservative members would vote her in, the general public on the other hand think Liz is nuts

A text book narcissist.

ABSOLUTEMENT.

​@@billkingston4402SHE IS NUTS.

Yep, if you even for a minute consider voting Tory just remember it was them that gave us Truss as PM, 'nough said...

They'll have to get past the Tory sewage in the river outfall first...

If anyone could, Liz could

Don't you mean sewerage outfall?

TR seems to be implying Truss is the conservative party's problem. That is a blatant distraction from how far right the tory's have gone.

It's still early days and believing polls is a 'fool's paradise'. Firstly, many Tory voters have a long tradition of deserting the party mid-term to apply pressure on policy. So, there will be many right-wing people not voting in local or by-elections and telling lies to pollsters. These people always vote in general elections and never want Labour. Then there's the matter of Reform leeching crucial votes from Tory candidates. In theory, this appears great for Labour - in practice Reform takes votes from Labour too (May discovered this in 2017 when she wrongly assumed post referendum all 2015 UKIP votes would go Tory). Also it's looking probable the Tory Party will shift to the right and make an election pact with Reform to leave the ECHR and stop the boats. This would mean Reform and Tories not contesting the same seat and making the general election all about 'the boats'. As Harold Wilson famously once said: _"A week is a long time in politics."_

They all thinks she's bonkers. But the Tory members would take her back in a heartbeat 😂

ABSOLUTEMENT.

Have they ever listened to the public?

I'm just surprised the Conservatives still have some support amongst the population.

Not the only one. A lot of minsters and ex-ministers in recent Tory governments should be prosecuted for misconduct in public office.

If you put all the conservatives in prison for the criminal behaviour that they cursed this country harm, then we'd need to build more prisons. Admittedly Truss belongs in a padded cell wearing a fashionable straight jacket. She's bonkers!!

Hey, we have seen what prudence a conservative government exercises the last 14 years😂

It's a Good job she was Removed from being the PM , just another Trump supporter 😢😢

Truss is an idiot. if she tried to make the Tories do badly, it'd probably make them do better.

Conservative party are traitors. They have destroyed my country. The UK is finished. Shame on you

Which of the current crop would you call a true conservative. I'm not being ironic, I'd be interested to know.

Lettuce are allowed to be fascist.

They are all collectively shameless

I'd still give her One. But that's a score out of Ten.

I wonder if the Chinese pork markets still think of Liz Truss? 😅

Good.

She is the dagger 🗡️ 😮

TIL it has one. I've known it had no brain for 14 years.

Yes, Nerine Skinner reading genuine excerpts from the book.

ABSOLUTEMENT.

Have you ever met people from Norfolk?

Yeah, well that's a question that surely answers itself. How is because it's Norfolk!

They must have been paid.

Interbreeding

Norfolk is a Tory Stonghold. They would vote for a pig with a blue rosette. If only that were the option instead of Truss.

No that was a vegeta... oh, wait.

No, people laughed when Lizzy was sacked after a few weeks but in the end, the lettuce is gone and Lizzy lives on. Lettuce pray for britain.

Her parents were Labour supporters.

Her Dad is professor of maths at University of Leeds. So he's probably intelligent enough to be horrified. Truss said herself in an interview yesterday that her parents still argue with her about her politics.

Don't be so sure - the English are a masochistic lot.

I do agree with you, now I'm not a Tory, but think of how awful she is from their perspective, they have the local elections coming next month, many councillors up and down the country, who themselves might be working hard locally are having to compete with Liz Truss for space in the minds of the voters! It just goes to show how truly dreadful she is, not just as a PM but as a human being and proves that she totally lacks any level of self-awareness.

She is mentally ill I think.

What about the guy that claimed everyone was happy when Johnson got brexit done, and that his personality is popular? There was quite a lot of nonsense being spouted.

'Claiming "All Libertarians want a police state" is insane," Well maybe not all, but most of them. If you read the small print on libertarianism it only ever means liberty for rich white people and everyone else should know their place and take orders from their superiors. If you want to know a person's real motives you should never listen to what they say but watch what they do when faced with difficult choices. So what did the self-styled 'libertarians' of the Tory party do when faced with public sector workers demanding more liberty in the form of living wages? They passed laws restricting their liberty to go on strike. That shows their real motives. All the liberties people have wrung from powerful people at the top have come through left wing agitation, not right wing 'libertarians'. You'll never see a self-styled 'libertarian' on the picket lines with workers striking for more liberty in their lives. You'll never see a self-styled 'libertarian' on the Channel beaches welcoming destitute refugees from authoritarian regimes seeking liberty on our shores. That's because self-styled 'libertarians' do not care for liberty for the masses, it's only ever liberty for the very rich, and a police state for everyone else. Putin is the finest example of 'libertarian' around. He has the liberty to do whatever he wants and every one else in Russia lives in a police state.

But they’re not true libertarians, they’re ultra conservatives who abuse the term.

Libertarianism as an ideology might technically advocate against such a policy. In practice, though, every libertarian elected to high office slashes everything except the security services - then uses those to maintain the status quo while the rest burns.

They need the police state though, as the oligarchy created, makes the masses rebel. There hasn't been a libertarian state, where the majority of people have happilly participated, or had their living standards increase. In the best possible outcome, you get a one off burst of meritocracy, where the winners and their decendants become lords, and the decendants of the losers, stay poor serfs, irregardless of merit.

I'm no fan of Truss and her terrible regressive policies. But the mainstream narrative that she "crashed the economy" just doesn't add up. The stock market dipped around the time that interest rates went up. That's normal. And the stock market doesn't even represent the economy particularly well. Yet every single news outlet jumped on the opportunity to blame her for everything, without any skepticism.

No, I think they meant it as sticking to their principles, the hosts disapproving of principles, good or bad.
