The entertaining thing about the Liz Truss government is just how bad they were at being Conservative politicians. The party has spent decades and decades wrecking Britain, but they have normally been very skillful about making bungs to their voters look like sensible fiscal policy and at least keeping up a degree of pretence at economic moderation at least to satisfy the bond market. Truss didn't seem to even recognise the need to keep their voters or markets sweet and announced numerous policies that were obviously (even to most of her MPs) going to go down like a lead balloon, even with their normally loyal voters, let alone waverers. And even after weeks of trouble, they continued to plough into uncessary battles with just about everyone. This lead to an obvious open goal which Labour took with good political skill - choosing just the right issue (fracking) to cause the rows in the Tory party to come to a head and for Truss to be dispatched.

The reality is, Government isn't meant to have so many years of one party leadership. Things are meant to go in a circle of Tories' austerity, public spending cuts, and loosening regulations, followed by; Labour increasing public spending and tightening private sector regulation.

"putting their tick in the box not because it's in the national interests but in their own personal interests to achieve ministerial positions" I think cabinet positions shouldn't go to MPs but to experts in their respective fields, that's how it's done in the United States where the Secretary of the Treasury (equivalent of UK Chancellor of Exchequer) is an economist appointed by Biden and confirmed by congress. They're not a politician, they're a public servant who serve the national interest at the direction of the democratically elected executive.

Truss wasn't the shortest PM in UK history. She is the shortest SERVING PM in UK history. The honour of SHORTEST PM in UK history goes to Tiny McGee - a Scottish dwarf who served for three days in 1729 before being kidnapped by French child traffickers who mistook him for a smartly attired street urchin.

That is a shame. If only they had arrived a few minutes later he would have likely left work and missed them unless he worked on past half five.

I hope all the ''irregularities'' mean that they'll redo the vote, fracking just really shouldn't exist anymore.

Tell that to Australian politicians. They can't get enough of it, even though we all hate it. The people don't want any new fossil fuel projects approved, but they keep doing it, regardless of which party is in government.

Smooth transition into your sponsor there. That made me laugh. Thank you, that was very funny.

They gonna make a new TV series "No, Prime Minister" with an iceberg lettuce as the chaotic AM/PM Miz Trust, Mirror image man Bernard Mensah, the president of international for Bank of America as Quasi Quartermaster, Boris Becker as a disgraced former celebrity with unruly blond hair and Prince Charles making a cameo as "The King", plus a cast of 1,000s of guest stars as the revolving minister of the day... potentially compulsive viewing, let's hope it can last at least a season

Charles Walker's expression being described in most British media as something along the lines of "absolutely furious" is probably the very pinnacle of Britishness. The man really only looked slightly annoyed to the rest of us.

That transition to brilliant was brilliant

Is it time to bring in Big Sam? ⚽️

Not a single Tory voted against the Party for the country, even though they pretend to be against fracking. That tells you all you need to know, it's _party & business_ over country!

WOW !! Great Info !! Many Thank's ...Bless

I guess to Truss the pm pension is worth it more than her reputation in the current political sphere and in history. Fucking horrific. You'd think that a politician would wanna become pm to leave a good mark and a good influence on the country, but according to Truss that doesn't matter. After the ticking timebomb David Cameron set up Theresa May with, and then the shite terms Bojo and Truss had, I feel real bad for May. May seemed the most genuine out of them all, which may not be a high bar, but yeah she has my sympathy after what we've seen

Given the current situation in the UK, I could easily see her record being surpassed. A PM who got a shorter run due to A) forcible replacement in an anti-government coup B) assassination (whether by an angry citizen or a foreign agent bent on destabilizing the country further) or C) committing suicide in office at the hopelessness of it all would certainly count, right?

Having lived all my life in a country that's constantly in political turmoil and consistently going backwards every year, I feel for you guys. I know that _"just WTF are you DOING?!"_ feeling all too well. I trust your leadership will get it together sooner rather than later, at this point they're 100% in damage control mode so they'll probably start behaving like serious people.

I am always impressed by how quick you guys make content, but also feel kinda bad for you - it must be chaos at the break neck speed politics changes in this country! Thanks for keeping us informed :)

I gotta say, the fact that I can't binge this spin-off series from "Brexit" is driving me crazy. The daily cliffhangers are AMAZING!

Apparently they've set the bar for eligibility a lot higher this time - 100 backers needed instead of 20. That should cut down the filtering process. Not that it'll make much difference, the time has come to break out the saying once more: when you have a deck of jokers, it doesn't matter which card you draw next.

Great video

Very nicely presented.

Truss wasn't in office, she was in The Office.

Boris Johnson coming back would be a hell of a meme

My god, that was the least confident vote of confidence I've ever seen. It was so cowardly it stopped being a vote of confidence!

This looks so like a kindergarden group in a pub. It's astonishing that they actually get work done there.

Yesterday I was pleased, but above all relieved, that the witless Munchkin that had masqueraded as PM was going. I dared to hope for an improvement and a return to sanity. This morning I awoke to news that the most likely replacement is the most corrupt, venal, mendacious and dishonest politician in British history. In what dystopian, dysfunctional parallel universe could the Tories re-crown him for the very characteristics for which he was ejected in disgrace and dishonor 100 days ago.

I wouldn't say a majority want a Labour government, I'd say the majority want rid of the tories and see Labour as a means of achieving it.

It'd be nice if in multi-party democracies you had the option of voting against a party. So often, people will have 1 party that they absolutely do NOT want to win & then just kinda shrug their shoulders at the rest of the possible choices. This would allow people to express that.
