I can’t believe all this was less than 3 months ago!
It breaks my heart to hear about the children going without meals. I grew up during the Recession and my family regularly didn't have enough food. In my mind I'm immediately there, hungry all the time, unable to focus on school and watching my mom pretend she's full so my brother and I can have her food. The damage is irrevocable. The feeling of uncertainty. The pain of watching your siblings and parents starve and being helpless. I am praying for all UK families, especially the children because this will continue to impact them for years to come.

It doesn't matter, their whole agenda is irresponsible neo-liberal bullshit set up and now carried out by billionaires and also only benefitting them and the politicians on their payroll. If there was any accountability for causing hundreds of thousands of children to go hungry, the economy to recess, inflation and more and more lunatics to "serve" as PMs and doing what they want before apparently getting bored and going back to sniffling glue, that party would not rule again for 30 years.

She's truly the Sarah Palin of Britain without the religious nuttiness. Not even she knows why she puts the words she chooses into one sentence together. She's mental and a dumbass, and she wouldn't have been there in the first place if the Tories weren't racist enough to pick Sunak right away, although he's most likely gonna screw some minorities and working class people even more being a billionaire leech that profits of crises like all the other billionaires.

The reason GB had 4 prime ministers in 6 years is Brexit.. A lot of the economic problems the GB has experienced is simply from a staggering failure to realize the problems and challenges brexit has exposed the GB economy to. A lot of the problems has been disguised by the corona pandemic and lately the Ukraine war, however at some point GB needs to have serious discussions not just about the brexit and the frankly self-destructive policies of the GB in regards to the EU, but also about the possibilities and challenges that GBs economy faces and how to deal with them..

To be honest - greetings from a proud citizen of the European Union btw! - I consider Brexit just to be another symptom of the wider problems the British have with their political system. The most severe by far for sure, but only a symptom. Brexit cost you about 4% of your economic output, and will do further damage in the future, for sure, but it is by far not the only problem the British have.

This video is longer than her career as Prime Minister.
She realised it’s too stressful and easier to retire on £125000 pension. Not bad for 6 weeks on the job.
"And just like that she was gone. Goodbye!" 😂 That was the greatest most abrupt outro I've ever seen.
At this point we need a general election. We can't have the Tories continuously picking prime ministers without reference to the UK public opinion, who then choose policy without any electoral mandate from us.
@milesjolly6173
Жыл бұрын
I agree we should have another election to wipe the slate clean and start again, but Tories will say that Boris won an election in 2019, and they wouldn't be wrong. Technically, according to the Fixed Term Parliament Act of 2011, they don't need to call another election until 2024. Keir Starmer could force an election, but he would need more than half of all MPs to support him which would include some Conservative MPs. They probably wouldn't vote for that because it might not be good for their job security. I personally think we need a new law that says that whenever we get a new prime minister who didn't become prime minister by winning a general election, parliament is automatically dissolved and a new general election begins. That way the new prime minister has to actually get a mandate or they have to go. It probably wouldn't be a perfect system but it might work better than what we have now. I think a general election campaign in this country is around 6-7 weeks, which interestingly is roughly the amount of time since Truss became prime minister. So assuming that parliament had been dissolved as soon as she moved into No. 10 and the campaign was 6-7 weeks as I mentioned, we should have had an election right about now. I don't know who I'd vote for or if I'd even bother voting, but I think people should be given a say.

It's not really about why she resigned. The question is why she was elected at all - and the only explanation is - those who voted her in probably knew she's wasn't too bright or decisive and hoped they could - manipulate her to do their bidding.
Liz Truss was meant to fail. She was chosen so that Boris could come back with people begging his return. It was surprising when Boris resigned since he clung to power so long. This was his whole game plan.

The Metropolitan Police were spineless in their approach to not prosecute evident breaches of the law they set for all of us to follow, and still hundreds of thousands died. What the Tories did during Covid was akin to treason, something that in most countries results in public executions. They should have at least stood trial for condemning millions of people across the country to years of misery and fear of losing everything as a consequence of their incompetence.
She was utterly inept and out of her depth. Was this a trick question?

If journalists were doin their job with any kind of passion or justice, the question would be , how did she ever become prime minister of Britain, because democracy was not involved,
Her biggest achievement as PM was getting a front row seat at the Queens funeral, that's it.
As British we must all congratulate Boris for leading us in to inflation by “successful brexit” Shame
I always knew David Cameron was right about Brexit. That man was responsible and credible that's why he resigned as PM after Brexit mandate. After that almost every UK PM were power hungry with Crab syndrome.

Aakash S. I think they were all manipulative, I am certain the outcome could have been workable, there would have been a large amount of planning and straightening out to achieve the goals. But they did nothing because they sealed the deal to stay in. and were clueless on knowing how to make the changes. Where is the money gone that they used to pay into the Eu's pot? A lot of game players securing the £ in their pockets

@@murelli6832 Yeah definitely u are right. That's what I was also thinking. It's a more administrative and bureaucratic mismanagement that they couldn't find a way. I also think David Cameron and Theresa understood that administrators & bureaucracy will fail that's why they left.
Because she found out the hard way there are forces higher than the government in control of the government's decisions

Hello how are you doing today....
The question is not why her time as prime minister ended, but how the hell did it ever begin?
Can't wait for mock the week
Well, obviously, the British public wasn’t ready for her

Well done BBC, excellent reporting.

It can become very lonely at the top if things are going wrong. But as a non Brit outsider researching the events in retrospective it seems to me that Mrs. Truss has a personality that made her the loneliest PM ever from day one. It is virtually impossible to lead a government in a democracy like that. She was the wrong choice and subconsciously Tory membership knew it from the outset, but hey, maybe she could do miracles? Instead, nobody stopped her politics of fairy tales and it came down to the markets to do it.
She got 'Britain Moving' its bowels ...
gee i wonder why it ended so soon... hmmmmm
I think this is the biginin of a long global crise like 2008 , more aggressive one

don't worry johnson will be resigning in disgrace having been caught lying to parliament again shortly
I bye the book just too stop my table from wobbling and to level it up
A better question is: Why did it start?
It's difficult to comprehend the financial hole that has opened up in the last few weeks, is this what prioritizing growth means?
