James O'Brien's blunt reaction to Liz Truss' 'unhinged' publicity tour | LBC

- As Liz Truss's publicity tour for her new book continues, James O'Brien reacts to the former Prime Minister's latest assertion in an interview with the Telegraph that the 'power exercised in Britain by unelected people is a scandal.'
James wonders how the ex-PM can say such a thing when she 'was unelected on a national level and nodded through by a hereditary monarch'.
Truss also spoke to LBC recently and made a number of bold statements, which included urging the Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey to resign, branding Net Zero as 'economic suicide', and claiming critics of her mini-budget are merely trying to 'smear' her.

"The power excercised in Britain by unelected people". Like the 11 cronies & tory donors she sent to the house of lords in her resignation" honours" ?
Such as the Tufton Street Mob I guess that she means.
Yes, exactly like that
To be fair Blair awarded 374 life peerages from 97-07, even Cameron only awarded 245, so total 717 and of that 408 were awarded by Labour, so Labour has the majority. Please don’t see this as support for liz truss, just that it’s been going on for a long time by both.
@@mtrhodesy Cameron was PM for five years.
@@mtrhodesy Fair point.
Liz Truss really just needs to go away now. She is embarrassing herself, her family, and the nation.
We can only hope. Lettuce pray.
@@jonathanboam5409 That's an awesome comment. You rocket!
@@jonathanboam5409 Romaine calm, lets hope we have seen the last of her.
@@akumaali5798 Thanks. You're a gem.
@@ZafrodHasselfrau1999 Sadly, I fear it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Truss is a shameless grifter and quite probably a sociopath.
No wonder she chose a career in politics
You call that a "career"?
@willrobert That's why you decided not to become a politician?😂😂
They are all sociopaths and the odd psychopath 😅
Probably?
Uk is the perfect playground for her catered especially for her kinds
After what she did, its hard for me to believe she still shows her face in public. Never mind going around lecturing people about how to run the country, totally utterly shameless.
Narcissists never accept blame or responsibility. They want the power of a monarch with the responsibility of a toddler. Gaslighting is their chosen modus operandi.
What did she do?
@@stephenmurray2851Crashed the British economy with a mini budget that she refused to first run past the Office for Budget Responsibility for how risky and damaging it would be to impose, leading to her having the shortest and most embarrassing tenure as Prime Minister in history
She should be hiding under her duvet, and only venturing out at night.
@matthew She wasn't given the opportunity to do anything. Do your homework!
Lettuce not forget what she did to us in such a short space of time.
She should be in jail.
@monkey Yep..forget about the ECHR...who needs it!
She should be but our system rewards failures and she'll be well rewarded
Says the woman who had no problem appointing unelected friends of hers to the House of Lords 😂 You really can’t make this stuff up 🤦🏻
Why bother to make it up when Liz Truss does it for you.
I've met Boris, Corbyn, Farage, Starmer, Blair and Thatcher fans. I have never, ever, not once have I even heard of a Liz Truss fan.
Perhaps the lettuce farmer community are fans? LOL
That's actually an incredible point lol
You have now....
That's because you aren't popular and she's a popular conservative. Also popular has a different meaning you just aren't popular enough to know it.
She has all the right ideas but not as strong as Maggie. Maggie would have held on and restored our freedoms. The globalists would be decimated.
Total fruit loop, how this type of person becomes a public figure is beyond me 🤷♂️
Ditto.
same money paying for it in the usa as the uk..
D list career politician meets Brexit opportunity sums it up.
Would that be same type of person as the Deputy PM for Labour?
It’s standard operating policy.
Bear in mind that Liz Truss, the least popular prime minister of all time, started the "Popular Conservatives" group. I feel like that speaks for itself
"Pop Con" 😂 it suits her very well 🤣
Don't forget the Nat Cs...😮
The Popular conservative front of Judea!
Yes, exactly. It’s like the dishonesty is a feature rather than a bug.
'Where's the Popular Front?' 'He's over there!' 'SPLITTER!'
I can only repeat Matthew Parris observation that Truss is : "A planet sized mass of ambition teetering on a pin head of a political brain."
Matthew Parris, a former MP himself, once commented that UK politics attracts exactly the wrong sort of people into the profession, those with an inflated opinion of their own abilities and a total lack of self awareness. I'd say that's a perfect description of Truss.
How she's still in the public eye is a complete mystery and a joke to me.
shes a cheerleader for the tufton street tw@s
Right wing media won't let her go.
@xyo Well what did she do wrong? And no googling!😊
@@chatham43Let it go, bro! Nice try and ten out of ten for effort, but... sometimes, you know?
Yep she seems to pop up everywhere apart from the constituency that she is paid to serve.
“Hey remember Liz Truss?”
“The 5 minute PM who managed to tank the UK economy twice?”
“Yup… she wants to be PM again”
Yeah so funny. However i don’t think she tanked the economy. Everyone behind the scenes knew of her plan. They tanked it because they wanted her out and ‘normality’ to persist
If I was FORCED to accept her book, I'd be looking for a paper recycling bin right away. Afterwards, I'd wash my hands.
One to keep beside the toilet in case you get caught short.
How pathetic and immature a comment.
@Green And how would that scenario come about?
@patrick But he's got those likes which justifies his existence for another day.😊
@@chatham43 🤣🤣🤣🙏
She blames the system. She is to blame for not listening to others who warned of economic crash.
As an MP and former prime minister, she is the system.
Read up on insider trading ...
@explorer Simplistic hogwash..that should get the simpletons on board!
She did listen to the shadowy Institute of Economic Affairs.
@@chatham43: Your status as a Tory-voter in a shabby bedsit suggests you're not very sharp yourself.😅
Truss has no shame
@james Even if she does we would ignore it because she's a nasty tory!
@@chatham43 Like Starmer. A nasty tory.
Just like her favourite politician, Donald Trump!!
"the power exercised in Britain by unelected people" like perhaps The institute of economic affairs liz???
The most powerful unelected people are the rich - who would get more power if Truss had her way.
This government is the best that money can buy.
@jon You'll get rich if you eat your greens!
Why hasn't Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng ever been investigated for insider trading??
Excellent question...
Just stop giving her publicity.
we have to talk about the enemy.
they arnt just going to dissapere if we ignore them.
She's so confused by her own denial and obfuscation that nothing she says is worthy of public consumption.
My Flabber has never been so Gasted!
Ooh, missus! Oh well, suit yourselves...
James I always appreciate you calling out these Tory Losers.
Ten years to save Britain - by someone who was so bad they got outed from PM after just two months!
There's just something not quite right about her.
... like jacob rees mogg and bojo. And trump. It is a frightening situation when a large part of the populations of democracies seem to think these kind of weirdos are "OK".
Whereas there’s everything right about you Thomas….
I have never gotten a sound bite of her cackling at something in parliament --truly scary lunatic laugh--made me shudder everytime I heard it.
@ThomasKing Another busy day chez Thomas.😊
@@arthurjamesaltmann729: Whataboutisms are for weak people.
Don't think a lettuce has memory does it ? 🤔
@Aviopic You don't remember?
@@chatham43 you first need to know before you can forget 😉
Truss is correct about the unelected in Britain but she is one of them. Go figure.....
'Dunning-Kruger' is now the 'Liz Truss' effect
🤣😂
Liz Truss, the triumph of ambition over ability !
@truthhurts You speak from experience...and we respect you for that!
She will continue to be a public figure as long as the media keep publicising her. I know it makes juicy reading but let's just have à blanket ban on talking about her and she fade away.
Can someone call the men in the white coats
She talks about "unelected" people,uh,but wasn't she declared PM without us voters,voting for her to be PM?
When you vote in a general election, you’re really voting for a party to form a government. In this case the Conservatives won and the term is around 5 yrs. Labour will do the same if Starmer goes, and will be replace by who the party elects because we’ve already given them the authority to govern us for the term. Neither side will change this as if a pm has resigned it usually means they’re very unpopular so if you have a GE the government could be out after 6 months so not very stable for economy.
@@mtrhodesythe Tory party chooses the leader by balloting members. In the case of Truss that didn't happen, so she was even unelected to the position of Tory leader.
What she says is dishonest. It may be an outright lie, or it may simply be misleading, but it is dishonest.
As I said in another comment, I think that the dishonesty is a deliberate strategy, it’s a feature rather than a bug.
@@MrPlannery Did the Labour party ballot members when Gordon Brown was selected unopposed to become prime minister? What was on the ballot as a option to have a ballot in the first place? Gordon Brown or not Gordon Brown? I despise both parties now, so don't think I'm supporting torys based on what I've said here. I'm just tired of the left and right must be mortal enemies troupe, it's a distraction supported by both to prevent reform.
@@mtrhodesy complete this popular phrase... "Two wrong don't make a ______"
Partly true..she wasn't an unelected person...she is not a person
😂
Quite correct, sir. She transitioned into a mere apparition.
The Trump playbook writ large - she endorses him and that should tell you all you need to know about her mental state.
why
because trump refuses to be a bigoted left wing woke obsessed communist
I used to wonder what living in a parallel universe meant. I finally got it finally 😅😅
A bungalow no upstairs, she is so deluded and out of touch.
She'd definately has no clue what an attic is...
Lights on, but nobodys home.
She’s so mad that her head wobbles when she walks.
Some number of picnics short of a sandwich.
To be fair to Liz, her time as PM was pretty scandalous, small matter of crashing the economy etc
The entire Tory Party answer questions as though they have been in opposition for the last 14 years.
The film you alluded to is actually an actual film, but drew barrymore not jennifer aniston!
I thought he meant Groundhog Day, featuring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell?
Clearly she's forgotten about the people at the IEA, Policy Exchange, TPA, etc who helped propel her into No. 10
She is disconnected from reality. If she had just sat down in her office at number 10 and played with her pencils, doing nothing else, there would have been less damage to the country than she actually did inflict. 😂
Groundhog day James.
It is a film, 50 First Dates
Can the lettuce rise again?
She's a danger to herself.
That's not a problem. Maybe we can help her be a lot MORE of a danger to herself... Two birds, one stone...
...like she's never met Liz Truss... Love it!
Definitely an insightful comment by James O'B worthy of deep reflection. So, that rules Liz Truss out.
First it was unelected European bureaucrats - now it is unelected British bureaucrats - how about existing the U.K. 😅😅😅
I was in two minds about her until I saw her press conference with Lavrov. To put it politely she is not the brightest.
tbf I think she is in two minds about herself
I think that's called schizophrenia. Makes sense..
This is a James O’Brian monologue of truth at its best!
Truss is a puppet. Follow the strings.
Hypocrisy At It's Best!!!😂😂😂
Liz is my favourite comedian, it is just a shame when she opened her mouth as leader she set up a few chain reactions that led to poverty and death.
How do you do that? Be a Conservative. They seem to be born with grievance, hypocrisy and absolutely not one bit of shame…..
Then why give her awful publicity tour, even more publicity?
She was always a joke, at our expense
Brilliant again james
Oh, and don’t forget she’s looking to appoint Peers to the House of Lords…
Just love the spot on logic. Wish we could introduce Liz to any logic at all.
Keep on James , we need you
The lettuce not only lasted longer, it was more intelligent.
Liz Truss operates like she hasn't met Liz Truss...what a quote...take a bow J'OB.
Liz truss is a dysfunctional AI bot
The Truss ( L1Z ) droid has been removed from the production line, due to a serious fault with its monetary counting microchip.
"Like crossing the streams in ghostbusters" 😅😅😅
Groundhog day!
Brilliant analysis.
The film that hasn't been made? Well, there is always 50 first dates , just not with Ben Stiller ;)
Or Jennifer Aniston
That film made me wish I had amnesia.
@@uniquerebeljaney3639 🤣
@@uniquerebeljaney3639 It had Samwise Gamgee with a lisp.
@@darklighter66 I prefer my Samwise fat and cooking po-tay-toes.
I think she's had a breakdown. Having got into No10, thought she was going to ace it there for years for it to fall apart so quickly has shattered her. She's now invented an alternative reality where it's everyone's fault but hers as a defence mechanism.
If you've seen Shutter Island - Liz Truss is effectively Leonardo DiCaprio's character in that.
Wow that's an interesting thought! I almost feel a little sorry for her now. Almost!
@runlarryrun Thanks for that mental health synopsis Doc!😊
She can't talk about Rupert Murdoch like that.
I worked with a manager who was like this. He was a company man with no real talent so he followed the orders to the letter whether they made sense or not. If the orders changed entirely he would act as if the previous orders had never existed. It was really weird to work with him, it was as if he was programmed each day.
Odd person and not a manager, at all! Made his money very easily.
Liz Truss ,Boris Jesus where do find them
Groundhog day
Viva la France
I'm half-expecting Liz to turn up on breakfast news and say, "Aha! See! I'm still going, where's the lettuce now! 🤪"
It's a powerful gift for Liz Truss to deny her own existence.
The worst thing is that Mary Elizabeth O'Leary is standing again in SW Norfolk and will likely be re-elected. She doesn't live there, rarely visits and seems to view her electorate with utter contempt. Precisely the kind of person politics could do without.
She will go down in history as one the clearest example of " You don't need to be mentally balanced to become PM"... Crazy even for politicians standards 🛸🛸🛸
Taking inspiration from Truss' book title (the delusional and utterly self-serving 'Ten Years To Save The West') I'm planning to write my own book, titled 'Everyone Please Shut Up And Listen To Me......Despite My Never Demonstrating Any Merit In Deserving Your Attention'. It's going to shake the global society to its foundations and propel me to center stage of the public awareness.
It seems like you described 50 First Dates but replaced the main characters 😂
She’s so mad her head wobbles when she walks.
Is it still legal to sue the government 🤔
James O'Brien has never watched 50 First Dates
He got the plot spot on, just the wrong actors.
Truss displays an incredible lack of self-awareness.
In the first ballot to elect Boris Johnson's replacement as Tory Party Leader/Prime Minister of GB & NI 86% of her fellow Tory MPs did not support her candidature.
'She operates in a universe where she's never come across Liz Truss' is the most correct and succinct explanation of her that I think I'm ever likely to hear...
She is experiencing a permanent out of body experience 😂
Long live Liz Fuss the gift that keeps on giving.
Truss was less popular in the UK than Marie Antionette was in France
Theres gaslighting.....and then theres Liz Truss
So, Liz Truss never met Liz Truss ... the rest of mankind should be so lucky!!!
Will her book cost less than a roll of toilet paper? If so, it may be worth it 😂😂
Buy one, pay for six. Trussonomics.
Love bith these guys... one of the best interviews to be seen... Well done gents... 👍🏼
Groundhog Day James. That’s where she lives
Why are we giving any airtime to Liz Truss. She isn't worthy of any attention.
There's not a word comes out of Liz Truss' mouth that isn't dictated to her by the unelected Libertarian policy makers of the Tufton Street Gang, but Truss herself wouldn't realise the delicious irony in this as she thinks 'irony' means 'something a bit like iron'.
She's a fabulous Labour asset
Imagine having to live with this woman
I find it weird O'Brien doesn't mention Iain Dale's simpering interview with her.
Will she also try peddling gold trainers 😂
Hahaha 😂 JAMES.
I don’t know if this is left or right, but I like what he’s saying.
james is a centrist. FYI
Truss wants to walk away quietly before the rumours about her surface
Truss was unelected. She’s a disaster zone!
