Theresa May and Liz Truss trade quips about lack of female Labour PMs

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2022
- Liz Truss claimed that the Labour Party cannot find a leader who is not male or from north London during her first Prime Minister’s Questions session on Wednesday, 7 September.
The new leader’s claim was teed up by a remark from former prime minister Theresa May that “all three female prime ministers have been conservative.”
“It is quite extraordinary, isn’t it, that there doesn’t seem to be the ability in the Labour Party to find a female leader - or indeed, a leader who doesn’t come from north London,” Ms Truss said in reply.

This aged well.
Don't bring gender into leadership. It will happen as and when it happens. Only thing they matters is credibility and capability. Only Meritocracy matters.
Labour voter I bet
@@finenebula Liz won the conservative vote. That's merit. Good luck to her. You know nothing whom I did vote.
@@chingling4375 Is it still merit? Was her position achieved by skill, I wonder?
@@fairsaa7975 it was certainly her skill, which is her ability to influence the conservative party members. But now we see she was not PM material in the first place. So skill did helped her to get the top job, but lack of merit brought her down. At the end of the day only merit guarantees sustainability. Everything falls apart if you don't have merit. She just got luck momentarily.
@@chingling4375 The idea of a meritocracy falls apart when you realise that the gatekeepers of progression have their own bias and agendas.
Probably because Labour doesn't change PM's every third week? ;)
?
Boris was the leader of the Conservative party for a few years but resigned as leader.Your point doesn’t even make sense
Wow, all the sh#t going on in this country right now and that is her contribution. The mind baffles...
*Cuts to Starmer flanked by two female front bench Labour MPs*
"I'm a quitter, not a fighter" should have been her quote instead...
Nice quip about north London...that struck home, the Guardianistas were squirming somewhat there.
Can you give me the details of the north London remark? asking as an Indian.
@@junnuravikumar ...North London ( Islington and Highgate in particular) is where the leaders and representatives of the poor working people live. However,they don’t like to actually live among the poor, mostly only in very wealthy areas such as Islington. They are also avid Guardian readers whose readership mainly consists of wealthy middle class people. The working class people themselves generally prefer the Sun, Mirror , Express and Mail.
@@junnuravikumar the North London remark is nonsense. Neil Kinnock was from Tredegar, a small Welsh town over the hill from me. He came from a working class background. John Smith came from Scotland. So did Tony Blair and Mr Brown. Scotland and Wales are far from London.
@@confiseur Liz truss as PM is the equivalent of seeing an elephant on top of a tree ! How the hell did that happen ...
@@confiseur "Guardian whose readership consists of wealthy middle-class people"
First time I've ever heard teachers, university lecturers, public sector workers, journalists etc described as "wealthy". You clearly don't have a clue of the wage disparities in the UK if you think £35,000-odd is wealth.
The brother in the front row doing the "scott hall spooky fingers"
Enjoy the honeymoon Liz. Oh btw, it’s over.
Truss isn't a conservative though. She only joined the Tories when she realized it would further her career.
Well Theresa May is a walking advertisement why their ain’t more lol
Traitor may
I used to believe she was better than a bad bunch
Her question and she asked that .it just shows you that the Tories will always put the party above the welfare of the nation
Interesting colloquialism
But, but, she was a failure. Who cares what gender? She was utter useless. Diz Trust will be worse is my betting
both her and thatcher were stabbed in the back by their male coleagues and forced out of office mid term
@@catherinemontgomery7130 Might happen to Miss Trust too
This aged like fine wine
Rubbish how is not having a lot of female MPs a serious issue?
Because now men have built the world women want to run it.
Liz Truss hasn't got a clue where Wales and Scotland are... Definitely no where near North London. Neil kinnock from Tredegar, just over the hill from me in Wales. Blair, Brown and Smith from Scotland.
Ah yes, three deplorable examples.
Thatcher is the best example there could ever possibly be.
@@biddy999999999 In other words you don't have a clue about the policies or issues she is putting forward, you are simply voting based on personality and because you don't like the sound of her voice. Sadly there are millions of people like you.
We just want good leaders who work hard and do their very best for the welfare of the country and its people. We don't give two shits if it's a man, woman, or a piece of cheddar that's doing it.
At this point the cheddar might be the best option
True. And that comment therefore means that there are NO WOMEN in the Labour party, to date, who have been capable leaders. HMMMM.
Was quite excited for this comment section and ngl it delivered 🤣
T May you where a scapegoat and think the newest PM will also find this to be the case.
Hope these rowdy men won’t be mean to Luz Truss. We, the people, won’t tolerate any nonsense.
?
Marks out of 10 for her first month in charge ?
Liz's policies more than outdo any nastiness from the other side. Very unpleasant individual generally.
So cringe
I’m from South Korea and is there anyone who explains why Liz has mentioned ‘North London’ in her speech?
It's where a lot of intellectual, intelligent, creative people in London live. Media, civil service, arts, education etc. In other words the polar opposite to the world in which our Liz moves in.
Honourable friend from the off is a turn off
Nobody knew who would pass away the very next day…
All 3 female PMs didn’t last more than 1 term.
The first one was one of the longest serving female prime minister in history
@@paleobc65one of the longest prime ministers
Theresa May is absolutely gruesome, like an Egyptian mummy come back to life. Will her biography be written in hieroglyphics?
sorry, but i feel that you are being a bit overly generous on that one
@@lw1zfog Sadly I think you may be right.
why the room is so small
Aged like a pint of milk.
Well that went well!
Hai friends LTruji clerk appointment good, you are not working ,manager leave or absent like balaji Raju
Hai friends change in a what leadership ,why karan speak like balaji Raju
Вы много говорите. Вы уже отговорились, когда были примьер министром Великобритании. Теперь ваше место, на скомье.
Another unelected PM is nothing to be proud off.
maybe Teresa May should have added to her little speech, that the 2 previous conservative female prime ministers were both stabbed in the back and forced out of power by their predominantly male colleagues mid term, neither of them finshed their term in office
Hence the saying "a woman's work is never done". Which is why women should get paid less.
@@MessengerRising oh please shut up and teach yourself some respect
Thatcher was in for 11 years…. Must have been long terms back then
@@jamescarmichael8969 Yes I remember her disastrous reign saved only by all those poor MEN she sent to die in the Falklands. My brother being one of them. Riots, privatisations and mass unemployment; she was hated by all but the rich or the stupid.
@@MessengerRising are you serious? Do you genuinely believe women should be paid less…
Doesn't matter about policies, competencies or credentials... Just as long as they have the "right" genitalia!!
Call her for advice. Lol.
does Terry M’s husband still profit off ICI/British Sugar’s ‘medicinal cannabis’ exports ? does Tory ex junior drug minister Victoria Atkins’ husband, Paul Kenward, still run the growing projects for ICI/British Sugar ? does the uk govt still refuse to recognise any ‘medicinal benefit’ from said product ? & if so, why at one point was the UK reported to be the worlds biggest exporter of ‘medicinal cannabis’ by the UN ? asking for a friend.
That didn't age well..
How so? It's still valid since the Tories have elected three female Prime Ministers and the Labour haven't voted a single one
@@FullPlaythroughs Because, if one wishes to play the gender card, one could just as easily say that "the shortest serving PM ever was a woman elected by the Conservative Party".
If you take the benefit of something based on gender, then you take the burden also.
The lesson is that gender/race etc should not factor into the equation when it comes to ability.
*Curb your enthusiasm theme plays*
Am from France, I don't understand the reference to "north of London"..what did she mean ?
Tories have the most diverse party and cabinet, and all 3 female PM's were/are Tory. Kind of a massive bitch-slap to the face of Labour lol
Not really because they were all pants.
@@MosKhan1 So are Labour, and the Lib Dems and SNP. They are ALL pants lol They are idiots voted in by a popularity contest rather than their capability to do the job. The only honest lot are the Monster Raving Loony party 🤣
Either that or the choices were that bad people thought let’s just give this daft woman a go
@@ismesheverone7653 agreed, just to please people and satisfy the workplace quota. And once they prove to undeliver on their promises and get axed, the next scape goat gets voted in.
If only their policies were as progressive as the wrappers they come in. It’s all identity politics, they use it out of convenience and the British public lap it up out of convenience. The three women PM are very hollow victory’s for anyone who values women in society
I think Theresa gave her wonderful advice.. how to quit.
Labour will do well not to bring in any woMAN
Take me back. So much potential wasted
3 female conservative PMs?
1 certainly was.
still gold 21/07/24
considering may and maggie were both disasters, i dont think its a ringing endorsement. and truss will be far the worst
@@Crimson4446 Hold my beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Crimson4446 This has aged well.
@@politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 I honestly never knew she would be this awful.I didn’t know back then that she would cause the pound to collapse.Sorry for that comment I didn’t know.Never knew that she would cause this much damage to the country in less than a month.
@@peterkirk123 I guess you guys were right sorry for that comment I didn’t know back then that this would happen.
May and Truss would never have become PM if the public were given the vote... idk why they are so proud about their position
Labour can't even define what a woman actually is so how are they ever going to elect one as their leader? 😂
Believe it or not the Tories are clearly a multicultural and highly diverse party, I mean they have given us Priti Patel, Rishi Sunak, Thatcher, May, Lizz, Kwaebi, Nadhim, Javid, the list goes on.
The issue is that this cabinet being diverse is for a token purpose - these ethnic minorities in cabinet will do more oppression towards ethnic minorities than to actually help them , if the latter was the case then I would be more optimistic
@@no.fourteen9316 So they are tokens but the likes of Diane Abbott was not?
@@thesmithersy Compare Diane Abbot’s voting record to the likes of Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Rishi Sunak and Kemi Badenech , diversity doesn’t mean anything if you’re using it to suit your narrative rather than helping disadvantaged ethnic minorities out
Priti Useless Patel is hardly a strong argument in favour of this policy
Just listening to some radio analysis about this now. Its merely a facade, they all still act like traditional white Eton bully banker boys
They are diverse in practise but not in theory, it’s all to appear normal and appeal to the disillusioned. Really it’s just a disguise
She can barely talk
3 female PM' like their male PM's forgettable
Plenty jobs for Female Bricklayers ?
Because conservatives love people of color and women who will work hard to keep people of color and women down… It’s not a new phenomenon
DO ME A FAVOUR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Poor Labour, less women AND less robots

Thatcher was repulsively immoral, supporting apartheid, cutting up voting blocs that undermined her power, cutting the rights of the working classes and generally being an elitist snob
May was weak, indecisive and lacked authority over her own party, which makes it especially funny seeing her try to appear strong and self-assured in this clip
As for Truss, we'll just have to see how she turns out (though given her disastrous time as Foreign Secretary, I don't feel particularly confident in her ability to run the country)
Thatcher was morally upstanding. She lobbied against apartheid. What voting blocs, you can't be referring to the corrupt local authorities? She expanded the rights of working class to own their own home and buy shares. She was despised by the elitist snobs, who dismissed her as nouveau riche.
@@myoctobersymphony4446 Lobbied against apartheid? She openly praised apartheid in South Africa and lobbied to implement several of its policies in the UK. She cut up the London voting bloc because it consistently voted in favour of opposition parties. She shut down many working class industries without establishing some sort of financial safety net or alternative employment provisions, leaving many unemployed and unable to feed their families. The House of Lords eventually got tired of her because of her insistence on bending the rules to her satisfaction, but it was the middle-class centrists within her cabinet that eventually drove her out.
You need to educate yourself on some very basic, very recent and very accessible history my friend. It would save you making a fool out of yourself in the future.
@@judeh8160 yes, lobbied against apartheid. She consistently condemned apartheid. What on earth are you talking about, obviously she never tried to implement anything like that in the UK. She cut up the bloc because of the GLC's gross mismanagement of London's government. She didn't shut the industries down, she withdrew the subsidies shutting down the rest of the economy. She continued to fund the financial safety net and alternative employment was provided for as evidenced by the eventual fall in unemployment by the mid-1980s. The unemployed were not left unable to feed their families, that's a complete lie. Welfare spending increased. What do you mean by the House of Lords? They haven't had any power to remove a PM for over a century, nor did she ever "bend the rules", she upheld them. You yourself ought to educate yourself on very basic, recent and accessible histories. You've already made a complete fool out of yourself with your abject ignorance.
There now jude, does it feel good to get all that off your chest?
Truss ☠ 💀 👿 😈 🤬 😡 ☠ 💀 👿 😈
👍👍👍
Truly awful woman
And all made a massive mess
Thatcher cleaned up a massive mess.

Have the peasants be divided, then divided even more and so on until they are against not only each other but themselves-we thus not fear them uniting against us, our progeny, nor realising what easily manipulated, ignorant fools they have been as their sincere liberty has always not been that far from them.
Well said, Liz!
Are you enjoying those 7%+ mortgage rates?
@@politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 Liz is anti SNP and pro-Union. That's all I need. Thanks for the concern though.
@@Adam-pf1nk Labour and the Liberal Democrats are also consistently pro-Union and anti-SNP. In fact Keir Starmer has said he will never go into coalition with them (the SNP).1
0:28 "Ooh, Prime Minister Fwends ! "
Only ONE female prime minister !!! Worthy of being called Prime Minister !!! Maggie Thatcher. Gone but not forgotten.
She's alongside her close friend Jimmy Savile for eternity !
