TMJ, this is someway not an isolated incident mind you. _"Will the Conservatives, for once, manage to rise above their own partisan interests and choose a leader who will defend those of the whole country"_ One of many world press reactions. Talk about collectively thinking having a keen eye for voting for the right person to be up to the task and do the job right.

Didn’t realise she had enough time to piss people off more than 10 times but then again the last 2 weeks have felt like 2 years. This news was the political version of Clarkson’s “oh no! … anyway”; bye Liz we’ll try and forget you and how you spectacularly bottle the job and devaluing the pound to a record low

1 - when she wrecked the economy 2 - when she killed the Queen 3 - when she made a "funny" cheese speech 5 - when she existed

Fortunately she got no chance to push the button. Her comments as Defense secretary last April were also downright frightening.

Liz Truss pissed me off long before she was PM, when she was Justice secretary she ran the ministry into the ground. I knew it would be the same result when she was made PM and I wasn't wrong.

To be fair though... she was absent for most of the 44/45 days (10 for the Queen's passing and a few where she literally hid away "under a desk")... so she was only PM for about 20-something days. Gotta give her credit... she really screwed the nation. Number 1 should have been the day she was born... And one last genuine question: who laughs like that? Did no one teach her how to laugh like a human?

i love the way these wealthy politicians say we must sacrifice the cost of living for our freedom and if you asked them to pay tax on there wealth they would all faint its about time all these old farts in parliment where kicked out and let young people have a say oliver cromwell had the right idea when he denounced parliment because he saw the greed in there hearts and no concern for the poor lets face it the torie party have always been a public school boy club they even teach there kids in public schools not to converse with working class kids and that is a fact.

You left out a worthy top ten Sourounding herself with a quack docter & Jason rees mogg and all the rest of her followers , who no one knows They all played a part in her decisions they all should follow her leave and resign We need new leadership and party Enough is Enough

How did ever manage to become Prime Minister? Yeah, I know that it was the membership who voted for her. It is galling when you realise that she held the shortest tenure as PM (49 days) beating George Canning's 119 days back in 1827! And she still gets to keep her £115,000 per year salary for life, plus pensions and bonuses. Nice work if you can get it!

Truss and Kwarteng - Laurel and Hardy without the laughs.

When there’s a Top 10 moments for Lis Truss but she was barely in office for a month

Truss squeezed in policy to penalise ecological power because she doesn’t like solar panels! This policy is estimated to remove ten power stations worth of energy from the uk power grid.

quoting a comment under another video: "The Queen always loved her odd jokes. And Her passing away two days after appointing Truss is probably the greatest of all, truly felt like she said *You wanted her, now she's your issue* before politely closing the door behind herself"

Liz Truss was highly irresponsible. She only wanted to get the perks and benefits of a PM and this is at the expense of the British people. Look at Putin and compare.

When she kept showing off her "Basic Instinct" when sitting down during her campaign. She stopped that once she got the job. (Am example can be seen in this video at 01.10)

What was the worst for me personally was her saying about removing nursery ratios. I'm sure a lot of us would quit if that goes through

I gave her three months in office as this country's leader, but lasted only 45 days... it seems I gave her too much credit. Worzel Gummidge would have made a better Prime Minister.

She did more u - turns than a delivery drivers satnav.
