I'm simply disgusted that my country has fallen so far that these sociopaths are at the top of our leadership. Is this really the best we can do. It's actually incredibly sad.
Things will get better soon, trust.
I feel like I'm the unknowing star of a Black Mirror x Truman Show hybrid.
Unfortunately, if you wanted to attract the kind of people who would really be great Members of Parliament and run the country well we would need one of the following things to happen:
1) Pay them wages more equivalent to what they could get in the private sector.
Or
2) require experience at lower levels of government in order to stand as a candidate for Parliament.
For me, number 2 is the more viable but if you really want to have the best minds running the country, elected officials at all levels of government need to be paid more, as do civil servants.
Why would you become an MP making 100,000 per year when you could make ten or twenty times that in the private sector?
Still, I wouldn't want to pay this lot of MPs, especially the Tory ones, 500,000 per year...
Don't be so melodramatic
@@techtipsuk That's what they do.
Liz Truss hasn't been PM long & she's already worst than Boris Johnson. That's an incredible feat in and of itself. 😳
I was really hoping her ineptitude would mean "can't do anything of note", but she and Kwarteng have actually managed to do more damage by accident than most Conservatives can do on purpose
I think we've finally hit rock bottom, so at least whoever is next will be an improvement...
The voters: "There can't be any Prime Minister worse that David Cameron"
Theresa May: "Hold my Ribena..."
The voters: "There can't be any Prime Minister worse than Theresa May"
Boris Johnson: "Hold my Champagne..."
The voters: "There can't be any Prime Minister worse than Boris Johnson"
Lizz Truss: "I got this..." (you can tell I'm struggling, she's so nondescript it's hard to stereotype her choice of drink!).
Was that the plan all along for spaffer? wait for the dust to settle on partygate, get someone in that unpopular and then make a 'heroes return' to save the party.
Doing more of the same,
that is not working, is not
'Visionary!' It's 'Divisionary!'
100% support Labour using "We didn't start the fire"
genius!
Liz Truss ……… Big Zionist Supporter
Kier Starmer ……. Big Zionist Supporter
America …….. Big Zionist Supporters
Voting/ Doing the same thing , but expecting a different result !!!
Liz joining the Club of Nations , about to become The Club of Poor Nations !
OPEC + Just cut oil production 2million BPD , and it’s being run by a Non Zio Club !
brilliant!
Oh yes Labour did. They chose a leader to counter the Conservatives that didn’t have the first clue - insulted minorities, a fence post up his nether region, ridiculous renationalisation plans... A conflicted individual that was way out of his league.
My ancestors are squirming in their graves as a result of Labour failing to successfully combat the Conservatives for more that a decade. I’m ashamed.
A little bit of Blair Apologia is sure to subdue the corporate media
The way she says "anti-growth coalition" sounds a lot like how someone might say "enemies of the state"
It’s an anti-debt growth coalition.
You can detect a zealot by the language they choose - or explicitely not to use. This lot would even make the word 'friendship' sound sinister.
I've already seen people online claiming proud membership of the anti-growth coalition 😁
The far-right are nothing without an enemy to protect you from.
She means "The pro-Britain coalition"
The only truth I've heard from Liz Trust, is that she said she had no problem being ' An unpopular PM.'
She deserves kudos on that one!
Well I don't want an 'unpopular PM' who the ..ck would?!
@@paulwilliams5013 Apparently Dizzie Lizzie would ;-)
@GBP.. you couldn’t make it up, could you?
The irony in that is she was already unpopular before hand. She's trying to cross a finish line she'd already crossed years ago with her musical chair like decision making, remainer one moment brexiteer the next for one example.
She saying how dare you question me about giving money to my rich rich friends.
...you have any rich friends...?
@@chatham43 no would i be so lucky
Lizzy has been part of the problem since 2010 backing all sorts of dreadful policies. she has been there all along playing her part in the decline in living standards, wages, services and low growth
But how else would she have become PM without years of sycophancy? We'd be missing out on this is she had more of her own opinions.
Meanwhile we have more jobs and business's than ever, people flea France for a better life here, we are worlds second highest foreign aid contributor, 2nd lowest debt in G7, leaders in so many fields from medical cannabis production to gene tech, satellites to global rock bands. You are in a fantasy world created by puppet master James OB and the other enemies of growth who effortlessly whip you into anger
Turns my stomach watching that woman and all those people in that party.
The thing I’m angriest about is that we have to wait two years before we can get rid of these people
You're very optimistic in the ability of the tories to sustain themselves without a general election for 2 years 😅 if they reach a point where the pm has one agenda, the mps have another, and there isnt a credible alternative as leader (the current situation, we'll see if they can find a credible alternative candidate), they can be forced to call an election (either bc they have no recourse or they can actually be called to do so by the monarch, in situations of parliamentary paralysis).
@@josephtownsend7481 I just find it hard to believe that Tory MPs would vote to have an election, they know they’ll lose their seats. I think we’ll have to wait due to the Fixed Term Act 😩
There's always one other option. Cf. 1789.
Given even Nadime Dorries is currently tell Liz Truss that a general election is needed to prove and restore government legitimacy, I dont think we will need to wait that long.
We need to go out.. protest.. make them have to call a general election.
Of course you know what she’s for… _She’s for herself!_
As are all Tories.....
....as do most politicians...
She stated how she grew up in the 80’s of boarded up shops etc yet stated she wants to get back to Thatcherism , Thatcher PM from 1979-1990.
Classic 😂
Says how all of her education was hampered by the government’s of the time underfunding it.
Government all through her education right through to university? Yep tories
@@Thecrazyvaclav What do any other parties propose to do.
@@geoffyoung3874 about Liz truss lying about her upbringing, and ignoring that the tories have been in power most of her life?
Nothing probably, can’t change history.
@@Thecrazyvaclav id say she didn't have to pay for uni.
Her speech was delusional to a Trumpian degree. There were so many lies and laughable falsehoods I thought it was a piece for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
agreed it was one of the biggest pack of lies I've ever heard.
She's not the full loaf
I was more stunned by the tory 'Health' minister lying that it was a tory who started the NHS.
Organisers should launch a Edinburgh Cringe Festival showing the worst of politicians and Z-list celebrities
But Truss' "positive thinking" will prevail in the end and she will give birth to a unicorn that will spread gumdrop rain and rainbows ending in overflowing pots of gold!!
You just wait and see, non-believers!!
07:44 "The new enemies of the people" That's been the Tory party over the last 12 years. Nothing new there!
I wonder why the people have over the last 100 years, voted more for the Tory than anyone else?
The problem, from a propaganda perspective, is that Truss' policies are basically an impossible sell. Things like Brexit, you could translate it in ways that sound appealing to the average voter. But how do you sell "rich people will get richer and in some way that's going to help you" to the person in the streets who's having to decide between bills and food? You can't. She's spent so long in the wealthy Tory safe space that she has no clue how real people think.
I knew there were more reasons to like your channel than (only) the excellent content, Mr Hazzard!
Well said!
Trouble is that the EU may very well collapse by next Spring. They would characterise that as a clever calculation, whereas if it happens, that would be pure luck for any Brexiteer
@ Jago. Yes, she’s barmy. But the people who put her there are not. They’ll wipe her out when they need to re-decorate.
yup
"The problem of Liz Truss speech is that it didn't have anything of substance" I don't think anything she says has anything of sunstance
Thought you could never get any worse that Boris but to quote Bob Dylan “When you think that you lost everything you find out you can always lose a little more.”
You know? I think Frankie Boyle said it best on The Last Leg when he said "We're run by incompetent fascists, they're usually organized, we'll be going to the camps on a replacement bus service". and that's what I thought of when Truss went on about the 'anti-growth coalition'.
....Frankie Boyle....the voice of reason.....
Frankie Boyle 😴
I'm so glad I'm not young anymore. The kids leaving school now don't stand a chance especially under these inhuman clowns!!
When you oust a sitting PM, there should always be a general election, always!
Changing a face does not mean changing policy.
The problem with Liz Truss’ speech was...Liz Truss.
Plus everything she stands for.
....devastating comment....
And her speech!
She has also done irreparable harm to comprehensive schools !
The woman is insane.
I'd vote for a newt in a jar at this point.
🧡 Newts rule!
I'd vote for the jar
Vote Lib Dems or Labour then if that’s your tickle 🤭
Maybe Fleetwood mac's 1987 song "Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies" would have been a more realistic choice. Anyone else think of other songs that you would not hear at any party conference?
D:Ream’s “Things can only get better”? Oh, wait…
Ironic of her to cite think tanks as part of the so-called anti-growth coalition, considering her connection with Tufton Street.
Yes , she is the empty vessel in which the dark moneyed right wing think tanks have poured their evil bile.
£500,000 they gave to support her election campaign - they expect to be rewarded.
The writer of Moving On Up, the M People song chosen by Liz Truss as her conference walk-on song, has objected to it being used as a “soundtrack to lies” Reported in the Daily Telegraph
It’s the classic politician thing of picking a song based only on the chorus and not bothering to listen to the verses 😂 Reagan did the same with Born in the USA…
the only thing moving on up is the Tories bank balance.
@@jamessteel9016 With the stunts Queen Kong and her bunch of incapable wardens have been pulling, even that is doubtful. Donors large and small may profit, but the regular voter not so much. May not be enough to keep them for voting against their interests next time around tho.
Absolutely cringed when I heard it, the artist has my sympathy...
A story of a soundtrack to lies reported in a vessel for Tory lies. This may be their first accurate article!
How to grow a pie.

And wait... and wait...
The problem isn't people not in jobs... it's people in jobs who don't get paid enough
Exactly! If she believes in free-market economics, she will understand that if wages increase then the supply of labour will also increase!
Perhaps she was absent for that lesson in her GCSE economics class
EXACTLY; that cheeky Mother-Fuc£er David Cameron re-branded the adult minimum wage as a Living Wage which it definitely is not; the last time £9 an hour was a living wage was 30 years ago, therefore how can £9 an hour still be a living wage in 2022?. The living wage needs to be set at £15 an hour at least.
@@ianoliver3130 I think she was absent for all of her classes lol
I want a badge saying "I'm in the anti-growth coalition and I'm proud"
Steady might offend the lgbt,,diversity, coalition
Lol yeah
Or a t-shirt!
Me and my mates at school were literally the Anti Growth Coalition, every Friday in the school showers after football in the freezing cold.

The severity of pending civil unrest and disobedience has been ignored. Can't these people read the writings on the wall
@ Robert G . It’s almost beyond belief. Trouble is, they don’t give a rat’s a**e.
Any civil unrest will hopefully dealt with by the police and their truncheons.
....can you read...?
@@chatham43 I can’t read.
She's still stuck in student politics mode, her only purpose is to score points against whoever she thinks is against her at that time. So when she gets those cheers at the conference, that for her, is the ultimate achievement.
I know, she's so leftist in that sense I don't know how she's actually in the conservative party..?
ROLL ON SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE ✊🏻🏴🏴
theo usherwood is the height of proffesional journalism!
....true...pity he has to put up with superciliious James......
Truss has done us a favour whilst wrecking the economy.
Showed Tory intention that has always been veiled.
Protect the few at the cost of the many.
I agree but think the Tories attitude displayed in plain sight started with Johnson.
@@hearditman Johnson normalized behavior in ignoring Parliamentary protocol and honour.
Seems she chose the right song after all 😂
It worked with Labour, as they were sending a message to Tories
Uurrgggh I liked that song now I will always see truss s face!
Too funny! That song is wow!!
A new PM, should trigger a general election. Better she went now than later.
The things that should happen doesn't matter to them. That's why we still have FPTP
....Shauna back folks with more devastating comments....😂😂.....
No it does not. We vote for a local member of a political party to represent local area. We do not vote on who will be prime minister ( but we do in a reality sense). So no, it does not trigger a general election. Shame though. She is a witch.
Wasn't a speech, it was soundbites.
As soon as I heard the M People song I started laughing as I knew the lyrics, obviously the person who chose it didn't.... or did they? 😂
There's enough to go round for everyone. Why should we need growth?
I listened to her speech. Mark Radcliffe used to have a feature on his Radio 1 show in the 90’s called “ Vague News” Her speech wouldn’t have been out of place on that feature.
I listened to LBC for almost a decade, this is the first time I have seen theo Usherwood, not what I expected from hearing him over the radio.
A face for radio,😁
@@terryfinnie2146 yes...
Me too. I think
he is cute.
Same here 😂
Same. For some reason i thought he would be bald
Who the f**k has ever grown a pie???
She's adamant on saying it at every possible chance to. She gives me strong PieFace vibes from the Beano, everything is about food with her
You haven't been in my fridge 😉
Oh, I thought they said “growing piles” 😂
How can you find a speech writer with a worse command of the English language than Truss?
If she wrote it all herself, why did she have to read it frantically (frantically frantically), word for word from the auto cue?
She's like the wizard of oz......weigh a pie.
I like how wonderfully impartial Theo is, and how James is always teasing him into picking a side!
it's almost funny man/straight man isn't it?
I was just thinking that, it's great 😃
....Theo is a saint to put up with him......
It’s gonna be disasTruss for the UK
Liz-as-Truss
They have utterly failed the country!
Well she should be relieved that she managed to get through her speech without falling over....
I wish I could've helped with that. She walks like a puppet, cutting her strings should do it. Failing that a swift kick in the fud
Did she manage to find her way out afterwards?
....brilliant posts....and well thought out too...a privilege to behold...excellent work.....
The size of the mug @6:41!!!
The M People hate the fact that Liz used their song (no doubt without permission)

A few hedge fund managers and currency traders have done very well thank you in the last few days.
actually not all of us are in favour of 'growth' James - that is a neoliberal con job - infinite growth in a finite ecosystem is impossible I'm afraid
Why don’t we see/hear this more? It’s undeniably true, but when I explain it to people they just melt with incomprehension...
Thank you, every time I've heard politicians discuss economic growth I've been saying the same for years nothing grows infinitely especially financial growth.
Infinite growth at all costs with no regards to sustainability is the same operating philosophy as a cancerous tumor or a virus. I don't think it's radical to say that we humans should expect more from ourselves than that. The world has enough to meet everyone's need, not everyone's greed.
@Tom records of GNP/GDP began only in 1930-something - so not very long really. I recommend Doughnut Economics if you want to hear another view and a resounding critique of the concept of GDP and what it measures. Engrossing the economy in financial terms has little or nothing to do with well-being and sustainability. Truss's emphasis on growth and 'trickle-down economics' is an excuse for enabling the rich to get richer while the institutions that support society as a whole like the NHS, the legal system, education, environmental protections etc. are being gutted
Growth or GDP is not a measure of the well-being of a nations citizens
.GDP is a measure of the well-being of capitalism. (Buying and selling)
Increasing GDP invariably goes hand in hand with increasing inequality.
One of the slogans at the CONference was higher wages and yet people are having to go on strike
So, while the mini-Thatcher wants to paint anyone against her policy as Enemies of Enterprise - is she not the real Enemy Within?
It’s very sad for this ex pat living in Australia seeing what’s happening in the UK ,here in Australia we have got rid of a very unpopular Government in the last election and now have Labor running the country , I only hope the same happens over in the UK
You mean Australia has one of the most authoritarian draconian leftist governments in the world and you want that here?? Ermmm.. ok thanks but er no thanks
It seems to me that the things that people think and say these days would have been unthinkable and unsayable a very sort time ago - how did Britain fall this low - this sort of sensational politics is so disgusting - what's even more disgusting is that there are people who agree with all this and love it!!!!!!
Today I got this notification from my stock investment app:
"POUND SOFTENS

It's like that scene out of Futurama where Fry's speech crashes the stock value of Planet Express in real time. 🤦🏽♂️
On the same day the tory press headlines were crowing about the £'s sensational 'recovery'.
@@gjaxx it's currently dropped by 1.5% actually as well, but the notification was sent 3 hours ago and doesn't update.
Growth! Growth!Growth!!
under Tories means
Growth in Personal Debt
Growth in Interest Rates
Growth in Inflation
Growth in NHS waiting queues
Growth in Energy Prices
Growth in Petrol Prices
Growth in Crime
Growth in Mental Anxiety
So they are keeping to their promises 🤔
WE NEED CHANGE AND WE NEED IT NOW!!!!!
We re all agreed on that, answer is who do we turn to? Pls don't suggest the Labour party, serious answer I mean

Whenever she delivers a speech, turn the volume off and play some 80s electro and watch her hands. She has def mastered the robot. Or possibly its some kind of performative dance where she's holding an invisible beach ball. It's the only way I can see her speak without wanting to put my foot through the telly.
....that comment was so so funny.......
Especially the left hand which goes up and down Lady Penelope style.

The myth ‘better paying job’ forgets that you need trained and educated people to do them… which we have not done!
@Monkton. You’ve got to the heart of the matter. They did it on purpose because trained and educated people will always resist being bullied.
She thinks there hasn't been enough growth for the past twelve years during austerity and brexit well who was in charge during this period ohhh yeah the Tories.
She's one of the longest standing cabinet ministers too, she's been in a position of power pretty much the whole time the conservatives have been tanking the UK in their ongoing 12 year demolition derby
Let Truss speak more often, it will drive even more voters to the opposition!
LOL. i agree
“She strives off enemies to fight. And in a way, that’s kind of one of the stories of modern conservatism: it’s this idea of ‘the enemy without,’ ‘the enemy within,’ finding different enemies to slay.”
Goodness, that’s an incredibly accurate synopsis of the political landscape worldwide.
Great content guys. 😀 x
i love that coffee cup man !
2 cows in a field. One says to the other, "That mad cows disease is very serious!" The other cow looks at the 1st cow and replies, "Doesn't affect me, I'm a duck 🦆!"
2008 also marked the end of productivity increases. 30yrs of productivity increase is not a perpetual event. The old economic model does not work in a world of 8 billion precious humans
The other thing people miss is how much growth has been driven by tech. If deregulation and a baby boom pushed the growth phenomenon to the point of a heart attack. Mobile internet and cloud computing have been the only thing keeping it moving by draggings its coffin to the final resting place. Tech improvement, as it exists today, has been stagnating since the late 2010s. There is no low-hanging fruit left at least not in the short term.
Meanwhile, all the promising UK tech darlings of the last 25 years have moved to the States. ARM is just the last of the great British tech companys to be launching their IPO in New York instead of London, due to political turmoil.
We don't actually need growth at all (unless it is green) we just need redistribution

All I can say to people is to keep plugging away at your MPs over how important basic fairness is, if they're Tory, and to hold on until the next election when you get to chuck them out.

It was a dire speech in its total absence of specifics.

Hahah James subtle dancing 🤣🤣
We never voted for any of these people to run our country after Brexit, the cost of living crisis, the death of the queen etc. How can we all just stand by and watch it unfold?
We did I'm afraid. Boris order a snap election and the people cheered and snapped it up.
@Stu. Because we’ve forgotten how to do politics. Ask your grandparents ; they. created the Welfare State. We allowed people to steal it from us - and dishonoured our parents.

Funny she mentioned “taxis from North London”, new education minister Kit Malthouse does this regularly living in Islington as he does, like Boris did.
He also decries the quality of state education after pulling his own children out of an excellent local state primary into a private school your taxes are paying for…
Did she have any say in the song chosen ... or is that the rest of the parties sentiment towards her? 😂🤣
Love that song.

Or football song by fans signing to their manager. Ur getting sacked in the morning.
It's a wonder that she has not coined the phrase "Never Trusser"
Never Truss a Tory.
If you want people to have money to spend in this country give it to the people who have nothing they will spend it here not shovel into their offshore banking which does nothing for jobs or the economy of this country.

How can cutting business taxes encourage investment? Surely any investment by a business is already tax-free isn't it? Wouldn't increasing business taxes encourage investment more? Because it would save more tax.
This isn’t sensible. The Tories are supposed to be for fiscal responsibility but that is anti-growth. Labour is for more social spending and potentially bigger budgets which is pro-growth. Fiscal stimulus to promote growth is primarily done through increased government spending (labour) or through reducing government income, cutting taxes (Tory). So the issue isn’t growth, it’s how you achieve it; entitlement payments for the poor (bottom up) or tax cuts for the higher earners (top down).
