So he was one of the sycophants that refused to tell her that she was making a huge mistake. Gottit👍
Just another yes man and all politicians are full of it
Printers - Check
Croissants - Check
30bn hit to the economy - check
So smug. So, so smug.
this man should not be involved in running the country
He's got the same dead-eyed stare you see on Trump advisers like Stephen Miller.
Or any other country.
He definitely won't be this time next week
Sir Keir will have a new broom.
@@chrispalmer7893 You are right, I see the similarity.
Why would anyone own up to be an adviser to Liz Truss? Who would want that debacle on their CV.
That one would be filed under 'sabbatical'.
hahaha 🤣
So what did you do between these dates?
_Er, I was in prison_
Could be worse, you could have worked for Liz Truss.
It'd be funny, if it wasn't so serious! And she still thinks she's doing nothing wrong, that it's the fault of everyone else! Delusional!
Well that's one way of looking at it, I have a darker slant: Whether you agreed with Truss or not, the establishment globalists performed a coup d'etat on a British Prime Minister - and nobody batted an eyelid.
The fact that this man is called ‘Acer’….. why?
Why is he so smug and pleased with himself? What an appalling claim to fame…. He is discussing it like it was all a jolly jape and not one of the largest political and economic fiascos in British history. He should never work in politics again.
Liz Truss had a speech writer? I assumed she made it up as she went along.
Former adviser to Liz Truss spills all from the quick start to the abrupt end 1455pm 28.6.24 winging it. might as well.... tunnels as well... cool.
Pork markets
@@jacob2808 one has the meat in it one doesn't.....
No, apparently he was responsible for it sounding like casual uninformed drivel. Who knew?
@@airingcupboard Comments on ‘Former adviser to Liz Truss spills all from the quick start to the abrupt end’ 0022am 29.6.24 i'd be heartbroken to note my wife or bird had seen my jibber jabber as "casual uninformed drivel".... i mean, with that kindda attitude would see her well studied and considered personally composed wedding vows seen in a similar offhand manner...
This video was almost as long as her tenure... and his speech writing stint.
This guy should be nowhere near an interview, never mind government....
Classic yes man. Defending the indefensible. Even stevie wonder could see Truss's incompetence
Nice.
So glad Liz got the right binder. Disaster averted.
what is wrong with him? I would be under a rock hoping no one finds me if I were him
😂 He should hope that when he dies and is buried it is in secret, so the grave is not desecrated.
She had a speech writer!!? 'Pork Markets'
Cheese imports too. ‘That is a disgrace! ‘ What a twonk.
Liz's 15 mins of fame.......recounted in real time.
Worst government of my lifetime.
Former adviser to Liz Truss spills all from the quick start to the abrupt end 1455pm 28.6.24 probably the only government of your lifetime... after spilling the beans she later found an old bike in the bath...
And that despite the fact that the last ten years has provided some pretty stiff competition for such an 'accolade'!
Nothing comes close. Liz Truss a clear winner.
Comments on ‘Former adviser to Liz Truss spills all from the quick start to the abrupt end’ 1927pm 28.6.24 dunno who she reminds me of... probably a steel wroker or sommat....
You weren’t around in the 70s
I think we have a lot to thank Liz truss for but for her wise policy's we could be looking at another 5 years of that shower we'll done liz😂😂😂😂
Everything is explained, if thats the quality of people around her ,
If only they put as much thought into her plan for governing… 🤦♂️
Reminds me of the Kenny Everett character Cupid Stunt
A video about stupidity?
Is this supposed to be news worthy ?
How anyone in their right mind can admit to being an "adviser to Liz Truss", without torture, is beyond me.
Let's face it it's that Tory scum's claim to fame.
I'm sure he will spend the rest of his life boring people to tears about it
Angling for a job with 55 Tufton Street would be my best guess
More thought went into the binder for the first speech than the economic policy.
"Everything was nailed down to a tee" when it came to who sat where, how many printers they needed, who gave her the coffee. When it came to doing a budget it was all a bit more slapdash.
Considering this guy advised the Lettuce-by far the most disastrous PM in our history (even Neville Chamberlain didn't totally tank the economy)- it would be nice if he took some responsibility for the disaster
100% on the psychopathic scale... Even now she has no idea what other people think or feel about her.
Well, it's nice to know that Whitehall swooped in right away to make sure Liz had the right coffee in her hand in the morning and the right Prêt sandwich at lunch... Doesn't it make you feel proud?
‘Not one but two mobile printers in case one broke down’ response ‘wow’. That sums up this video. At which point I switched off.
Zero self awareness. He had the ideal boss for him.
Product of nepotistic privilege
This is brilliant at showing the shallowness of the Tory party.
Is this the chief lettuce?
No.
I think he's one of the Little Gems.
The dressing.
No. He's just one of the vegetables
Christ, that was dull.
Pity Liz Truss and her team concentrated on the sizzle and forgot about the steak.
I wouldn’t advertise that I wrote Lettuce speeches
What an utterly apalling Tory apologist. Good to know that all they are worried about is office stationary. All this while the country burns. This is absolutely the worst 14 years of of government in my 60 years. The best years were undoubtedly under Blair & Brown's Labour government from 1997 to 2010. The collapse due to the vandalism of Tory austerity since then is shocking to the core. All I can say is Tories Out.
Celebrations July 5th. Invite me.
Blair’s government by far the best of my lifetime I agree
Parasites...more or less..
He looks about as smart as he sounds…
😂. Did he write the cheese speech.
F### me is this what passes as credible government,he should be stacking shelves,sorry shelf stackers!!!!!!
"Cracking sandwiches, love the new stationary...right, down to business... How do we f#*k the economy!?"
Blair light on policy? This guy has no clue
Tory filth.
What a toff and self-absorbed person. The perfect speech writer for Truss
How far up himself is this guy....
Sounds like as far up his own colon.
Got to admire him. If I'd been an advisor to Twuss I wouldn't show my face in public.
Didn't do so bad...think 6 minutes or so...'snot that I'm allergic to waffle or anything...just 5/6 minutes is my limit..
Never trust a tory and an estate agent....
Chorley: “That doesn’t sound like the deep state brought her down if they were bringing her favourite tea and favourite baguette”
Speechwriter guy : “That’s an interesting question!”
It wasn’t a question…
We all know it was the leftist bank owners 😂
What a windbag 😢
That smug stupidity he exudes is frightening.
God Asa is smug, isn't he?
Did he confuse Hainault with Northolt? 😂
God what a melt.
Rearrange these words into a well known phrase or saying. Whelk manage couldn't a stall.
Seems very excited and proud to have seen behind the scenes, good for him. Shame his boss cost me and my family £500 per month extra on our mortgage, but yeah very exciting little jape for this absolutely salad.
Can you please put the word Adviser in “” please 😳
Lettuce Speech Writer
This guy is just slimy. I can't watch this.
A man clearly has never done a days real work in his life………
They flew into Hainault? Then says he checked the speech for typos? No wonder chaos ensued, perhaps if they flew to Northolt instead…..🤔
Cringeworthy
How many copies of her book were sold: about 3,000 I read somewhere. 😂😂😂😂😂
Who the f bought that?! I bet it was virtually unreadable too!
I'm sure his mum is very proud of him.🏅
All this faffing around costs us money and to know it was wasted on the fickle and reckless Truss is just tedious and annoying, rather than being interesting
‘Speechwriter to Liz Truss’ is about as pointless a task as ‘Quantum Mechanics teacher to a Labrador’.
This chap has no idea how silly he looks, smiling and laughing after Lizz Tuss almost bankrupted the UK. Literally no idea....It all makes sense now. 😳😳😳😳
Truss spent her entire time in Cabinet being looked down upon for the damn good reason that her ideas were preposterous and driven by self belief rather than experience or knowledge. One can only presume that Cameron, May and Johnson kept her on as a sop to a certain wing of the party. To varying degrees they let the civil servants take the brunt of her asininity and it's no coincidence that one of her top priorities was to gut their involvement like a vindictive child. The contempt was mutual especially because whatever her Cabinet post she never bothered to more than skim her briefs - but was quite happy to stand in front of flags and take the OBE credit (other bggrs efforts). The world's full of fools who think they're visionaries. But the detail of working out where all her teddy bears were going to sit and what they were all going to have for elevensies just sums up this ridiculous woman. Scratch that, little girl, because she plainly never grew up.
There was one incident when she was, laughably and thankfully briefly, rotated to Foreign Sec. Her own interpreter embarrassingly had to correct her on the location of a major city in southern Russia that was relevant to her very important visit. It was in her brief but on the plane she was too busy preparing to get good pictures in Red Square with a furry hat to read the damn thing.
As to her demise, it was simple. The bond market (as she presumably doesn't know) dwarfs the stock market and can be thought of as a bank. And the sovereign component of that market (countries issuing debt) dwarfs the rest. She thought "fwee money!" and effectively went to the bank and said "I want to borrow another squillion to buy a fourth house and go on a round the world cruise for 5 years". The collateral she offered amounted to "because I'm gweat". So the bank said "alright, but the interest payments on all your loans will go through the roof". In bond market circles 7% yield marks the point of no return - her party intervened rapidly to avoid the fate of Argentina, Italy and Greece.
There are ultimately two kinds of people in life - the ones who are primarily good at their jobs and the ones who are primarily good at getting promoted. Truss wormed her way into the parliamentary party (the nauseating Fizz with Liz events) and the membership. That's what got her the leadership. Both have since been greatly chastened for "cut of her gib" thinking. But of course she's such a textbook delusional narcissist that she craves relevance so won't just belt up, go away and stay belted up while living in clover for having done nothing but harm.
PS Her tenure of 49 days flattered her. It was interrupted by both party conference season and the death of an extremely significant monarch so her active premiership amounted to little more than three weeks. Of appointments, media sparkle, a single mini budget and doomed scrambling to survive. It was a pathetic object lesson in what not to do that she spent her entire political career preparing for.
PPS I'm a moderate small c conservative but Truss and the current Conservative rabble thoroughly deserved the thrashing they got. If there's to be a viable future for the organised right in this country all they to do for now is take the licks, get back to basic competence and shun the gurning atavism of Farage.
Its funny that this woman and her buddy Kwasi can commot in Public. It is a horrible 😪 shame 😢😢😢
People should take from this one important salient : that the Truss/Kwarteng episode, however badly implemented their mini budget was, demonstrated that private creditors, not democratically elected officials, decide on the future of a country.
I don't think its a good idea for any country to become heavily indebted to private creditors (in this case the best information I could find is that US asset managers hold the majority of gilts...).
But then again, the British people seem to all want something for nothing - that's why we are in the situation we are in.
Seriously considering leaving for somewhere that has an aspirational culture and encourages business/investment!
She is well endowed mind ...
Economics being a delayed-impact sport, thousands of people are about to have their mortgages doubled before polling day. Liz Hernia regarded them as irrelevant cannon-fodder and they probably are, given they all vote Conservative and will still vote Conservative on July 4. They’re the Tory ‘Us-Club’, the sad group that formed around Thatcher when she said ‘yes but are they one of us?’ These people will become destitute and happy in the knowledge they’re in the ‘Us-club’! People talk about Trump’s mega-cons, but the Thatcher con has kept the Tory party afloat for decades and it’s only just wearing off now, 40 years on. Always forward-thinking, they saw this coming and saw Covid as Manna from Heaven, ‘fill your boots comrades it’s going to be a while in the wilderness this time!’
There's a point when you have to stop hand wringing about all the moles that vote for the likes of Thatcher, Bore is, Trump, and sit back and enjoy listening to them whine about the fact they're now poorer. I'm particularly looking forward to Trump abolishing income tax and replacing it with import tariffs, with inflation sky rocketing and chaos ensuing
I think this guy is more of a do-er than a mover and shaker
Mad Liz but is she really evil I wonder 🤔add her crazy advisers !
I don't understand why the commenters here always view things in black and white. It's a little strange if not suspicious. Regardless, I found this an interesting backstage viewpoint.
What have you been smoking ?
The Cameron to May to Johnson to Truss to Sunak pandemonium... can never ever ever happen again! In a British democracy. NEVER!!!
You have to ask, just who voted for these charlatans? Predominately voters in England who ' take ' they're que from the Right wing media infecting these Islands. 😔
How can a speech written by an aid begin to let the voters know about commitment, emotion, honesty, and trustworthiness.
A lot of nasty irrelevant comments on here.
A lot of nasty and relevant comments as well in fairness.
She was a loss of time, and continue to be
Liz truss the problem of the fusing of huge ambition and tiny ability
U can see why truss was a disaster
Another Talking Head. All collar and no front
No wonder the is Fecked.. if this is the calibre of "Advisor" ...
It's astounding he is more enthusiastic over 2 printers than the mess he made
Oh, if he 'spills ALL', i guess there's nothing to hide...Thanks for that 'CLARIFICATION'...
Asa. Weird name and why all the arm waving?
Because he's a toff.
Drugs ? A M. Gove disciple maybe .
The interviewer is as bad. Two lettuces together. In the Loop in real life. Without the charm.
Everyone associated with Liz Truss's tenure should be banned from British politics for life...
Liz Twuss won the Towie leadership and it’s finally over for the Tories. Vote Weform and take your country back 🇿🇦👍🇿🇦
No way would I ever vote Weform; I don't vote for Wacists
Another failed journalist.
Really interesting behind the scenes insights. Odd comments from militant commenters on here, but just like their families do, best just ignore them.
Just so sad to see a British former colleague take down a former PM, when the current/outgoing? PM himself is having a challenging time - and the world witnesses the lowest quality Presidential debate in US history, ever.
What does our Western media feel about this? Where is the British honour, pride, and also respect for any Government leader? Most of us never desire to aspire to such a position, and never, ever, will.
For those who do: Perhaps it is time for the media to elevate qualities in these courageous fellow human beings as opposed to take them down - we may leave that to our friends, the "deep state", who obviously succeeded in the case of Ms. Truss, failing which they will handpick their own candidates and take them down the path of destruction. We can do better in "the West" 😄
Truss shows what can be achieved despite being a total psychotic
My main impression of truss was her absolute incompetence
This guest was an honest heart speaker. Amazing insight.
