- Опубликовано: 16 май 2023
- The former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng was a leading Brexiteer, describing it a few years ago as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Since being sacked by his friend, the then prime minister Liz Truss, he's kept a low profile.

Sweating like Gary Glitter getting his laptop repaired.😂😂😂😂
I'm fucking howling at this
Please dont look at the video's when you repair it!!
I watched a bead of sweat go from temple to under the chin !
@@MrUkbeats 😂😂😂😂
Haha😂
Absolute Clown! Him and Truss should be charged with negligence.
It was devastating to people invested in fixed interest in the UK. These are supposed to be defensive assets and people got slammed, many of them near retirement.
Terrible blunder by the Truss government.
But it wasn't negligence, it was an actual approved plan
About time for a class action lawsuit like Credit Suisse investors officially filed againstSwiss Gov for 5 trillion losses
Apparently he had a meeting with his banker buddies before buggering Britain.
Now suppose they all then knew that the pound was going to crash, and shorted? Wouldn't that make him guilty of something somewhat worse than negligence?
Lock them both up!
Loyal to the leader loyal to the party , loyalty to the country doesn't even get a look in .
That's how the nazis started.
True!!!
Loyal to hedgefunds... They made a killing during his tenure
@@adrian19831983 you reckon kwarteng is a nazi?👀👀
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who heard that. The duty of an MP is not loyalty, it’s service. They should serve on behalf of the British public. Sadly that ideal is becoming more and more removed from their thinking.
Arrogance born of a lack of self awareness

@@mr.thegreat557 That's gross guys. Focus on the issues.
@@TheySavedSoldeedsBrain It's gross and inappropriate, but it did make me laugh (and I've suffered from quite serious racism, myself).
@@pineapplepenumbra it’s just a joke, didn’t mean any harm. I’m glad you found it funny.
@@mr.thegreat557 No worries, some people can be a bit insensitive and others overly sensitive.
I rewatched an episode of a series called "Mind Your Language" (I don't know if you know it?) and the Pakistani bloke wanted to marry the Chinese woman in the programme. The Indian (they were always at each others' throats) said:
"But if you have a baby, it will be Pakinese!"
Which I thought was hilarious, and I'm half Pakistani.
I doubt anywhere will be reshowing that programme, it was full of racial stereotypes.
Bro was sweating hard when he got pressured to say sorry
Kwateng should go to prison. Why is this joker even being interviewed? He is criminally responsible for a financial catastrophe of his and Truss' making that was only averted as a contaigon by the prompt mitigations of the central bank of England.
What law makes a budget statement in Parliament an imprisonable offence? Be specific. Or better yet, refrain from antidemocratic populist ranting.
Eton College has a lot to answer for …
Cameron might of made the skin tone and gender more diverse but not the elitist entitled caste of Tory MPs
Hello Geezer you’ve reminded me of a caller to James O’Brien about the various types of skin colour in the Conservative Cabinet , The caller first mentioned that his skin colour was of the dark variety , then said how aware he was of the uncommonly large amount of dark faces gathered around the Prime Minister , He finished off saying ‘ it’s no better getting beaten up by someone that looks like you “
@@colinstephenson5386 And you remind me of Tory fan bois who try deflection all the time. The Brexitory party despite all the window dressing is still the party of privilege.
That's the same in very country how many us presidents went to The Ivy Leauge ? Or the number of French presidents who went to Sicence Po
First shortest premiership, second shortlist serving chancellor, and the first shortest serving chancellor who didn’t die in office
Poor Kwasimodo still in denial
Kamikwazi surely?
@@Dungshoveleux 😂
Wealthy Kwasi, forever getting away with it by simply denying it
Like the melting of new supposedly WEF hired Twitter CEO.. they really think nobody would ever raise that merit subject. The loons vanity is incredible
Kwasimodo! Good one!
Oh the arrogance, egoism and cognitive dissonance
and a heavy dose of Dunning-Kruger.
But what about Kwasi ?
Dunning-Kwasi as he sees it
Of course he's not sorry. Why would he be sorry? We're the ones paying the price, not him, not his friends.
They don't care about us
Brilliant interview. Kwarteng looks a total mess, he looks like he is in a bad place personally and could do with getting out of politics. He clearly hasn't got over it and clearly isn't friends with Truss.He is an example of over-reaching your potential and skill-set and he looks like he knows it
So much sweat, his specs kept slipping down his nose. Not a comfortable guy.
I particularly enjoyed the sweat level went from cool to "its running down my face"
The exact opposite of Prince Andrew😅😅😅
Kwasi will never live this down until he publicly admits his mistakes to the voters who put him in office as part of team Dumb & Dumber with Truss
I believe he has apologised already in previous interviews
@@KJ-js7pi But not for the huge increase in the mortgage rate?
@@Mike_5 not because of him or truss as they say, it doesn’t make any sense. Interest rates were going up due to inflation but obviously the mini budget didn’t help at all but it’s far from fact that its all because of truss and kwasi. Accusers of Lizz and Kawsi are either pack of liers or do not know what’s going on, I do not believe the latter.
@@unknown_name_389cut taxes for the rich and tried to borrow to cover the difference, spooked the debt markets, forced the BoE to buy Govt Bonds to shore up the market and almost wiped out the pension funds.
Fortunately for the hedgefunds, Kwasi went to a party at the home of Crispin Odey that they were attending and gave them a heads-up to his plan... They made £millions if not £billions.
@@unknown_name_389Basing Tax Cuts on hypothetical growth (i.e. unfunded) caused the bond market to collapse which caused massive financial turmoil resulting in interest rates rising due to a loss of confidence in the UK, resulting in higher mortgage rates for the UK
Reminds me of Rudy Giuliani melting in that press conference
one of the funniest moments in politics
Did he think an interview on Ch4 was the way to rehabilitate himself? The Truss/Kwarteng incident will still be talked about in high school economics lessons in 100 years. He's got a Giuliani thing goin on when it gets a bit real.
Funny because when us plebs make big mistakes that impact others life's , we get thrown in jail .
Not when it's not illegal you dont.
The age of the lettuce.
When a meme became the headline of a chapter in the history book.
When I close my eyes and listen to Kwasi... I hear Boris. Why is that?
There you have it. A muppet mimicking a muppet. Similar outcomes too,

I've never seen someone sweat so much. 😆

Bet he wished he was Prince Andrew...
The sign of a man who know's he's done nothing wrong
He could do with a stint in the Falklands
"You're setting this thing up as if we were criminals ." Kwarteng is a criminal and the charge should be treason.
To the Tower
He is a lying corrupt hypocritical criminal, who in a real democracy would undoubtedly be jailed
for his criminal activities against the people he’s supposed to be serving.
If you think so, take your boxes of evidence to the CPS.
Doug, as much as you would enjoy criminalising people who have a different opinion, a budget proposal in Parliament is not treason. See the 2014 Guardian article Treason Act: the facts.
He was sweating like, A LOT for the interview and when he was defending himself
He was trying to be very clever when he obviously certainly wasn't.
Lacks self-perception.
Bruh. I think he knows that mistake will cost him his seat in the next election.
He wants us to believe that people come up to him and say “You tried your best” 😂
His banker mates are probably nicer to him than that.
if they did it was dripping in sarcasm
He did try his best and the only real consequence of the resistance he met will be most of you lemmings becoming poorer since he left through into and over the next 5 years ☝️
Most of the 600+ comments under this video reveal most people do not understand what is going on economicallly and what Mr K RIGHTFULLY set out to do.
Your true enemies do not look like Mr K - the attack on him and PM Truss was an attack on the poor and the middle classes.
Also it seems many haven’t read the book both of them wrote.
He is also correct that the interest rate rises has ZERO to do with his budget.
The reporter here is typical Channel 4 - insulting the intelligence of the misinformed and the ignorant.
Many will never understand what they lost when that right-on-the-money budget was shut down. In reality, the budget wasn’t even aggressive enough 🤷♂️
Anyways, people like me (council estate black dude coming up strong despite structural hostilities) will be fine - my salary has more than doubled since the mini budget, taxes into the five digits and still building a couple of businesses on the side 🤷♂️
I advise K to leave pathetic British politics and make his way and fortune in the private sector.
British voters are too stupid to exercise their democratic rights for the betterment of the country. They’re also here making jokes and pointing fingers, while being teed up to suffer unprecedented economic harm 🤷♂️
Kwasi was on the money with his budget - those not seeing and understanding it will be very easy to spot over the coming 18-24 months 👈
The rest of us will get on with getting on, lobbying for reforms and policy efficiency changes that are conducive to national and personal growth and prosperity.
@@b1ueoceanExcellent points. Thank you.
Imagine being soo arrogant, that you refuse to acknowledge that you single handedly wiped out £10s billion, drove the Pound to historic lows, at one point 1to1 to the dollar, imagine, before Brexit it was £1 for almost $2. Not being funny, if this was France he wouldn’t be safe anywhere in the country! What a disgrace!!!!
He says he has people coming up to him saying He did his best - really??? Presumaby people without mortgages!!! No apology, no remorse - what is wrong with these people? There are no words. Just don't vote for them.
Kwarteng spitting in the face of anyone who has a mortgage.
💯 %👍
Unfortunately, what no one ever says, maybe because it is not PC, is why should those buying debt ( which is what a mortgage is) get it cheaply at the expense of paying little to those they are borrowing from ( those prudent enough to save)
@@patriciafagan56 banks don’t really fund mortgage lending through savers’ deposits. They just create credit. Probably better to point the finger at house price increases relative to incomes, the slowdown in building of affordable housing since 2015 and the imprudent/predatory lending of banks. Most of this is a legacy of the finance led growth model since 1980s.
@@patriciafagan56 Excellent point Patricia! These C4-watching complainers go on ad nauseam about mortgages. The left is now dominated by Islington, not Islwyn.
He doesn’t even have an ounce of self awareness.
"That's just something that happens". -C. Unt.
@@tabularasa7775 A classless response. Hey ASBO, solve your problems with debate, not threats!
Truss and Kwarteng shredded the Tories' reputation for economic competence for the foreseeable future. They're gone.
Brexiters will also never apologize - they have a knack for blaming the kindling, whilst rejecting responsibility as arsonists.
Nice analogy......two of the worst politicians in history (and there is pretty stiff competition out there) 😄🇬🇧
Should have given a good reason for staying, but you did not. Apologise for what?
@@dulls8475 ok let me expand your little mind. You currently have the worst inflation of any industrialized economy, you now have more food banks than McDonald’s, and as a Canadian, your energy prices make me want to cry. Even close nations (Canada and the US) refuse to negotiate trade agreements with you b/c post-brexit you have shown distant for international law obligations. The only agreement you have made post brexit is with Australia & everyone in the UK complains you guys gave away way to much in that… to an economy like 1/3 your size, why? Because the UK is desperate & has very little clout internationally now. Instead of being a strong voice in an extremely powerful international organization you are a weak voice on your own. No one to protect and defend you. No one to to share the burden with. I feel sorry for people like you who are unable to see the facts in front of their face daily.
@@dulls8475 agreed… it’s not leave voters’ fault that they were duped into voting for Brexit with promises of a better life and a better Britain and Northern Ireland. None of the electorate who voted leave in the referendum should be held to account, but they should certainly demand a better outcome than the one delivered by these tory charlatans.
Lockdown enthusiast will never apologize. 😊
I often wonder if he made any money from his hedge fund mates whilst he trashed the pound?
His mates had a party the day the pound tanked. L E G E N D
Thank You for placing Labour Party as solid favourite.
The interest rate is unaffordable and people are struggling still. There should be repercussions for this. Disgusting.
What a disgusting human. People have and will lose their homes because of his actions and he doesn’t think it important to apologise. Yes he can move on he’s wealthy, where do the people who lost their homes move on to ??? Shelters, sofa surfing or the streets. This government needs to go they are incompetent, arrogant and soulless.
They are also vile lying corrupt hypocrites.
If a destitute father, who lost his house thanks to the minibudget of Kwarteng , would try to attack him, would he be talking of forgiveness?
My guy was SWEATING (physically and figuratively) 😂
He's sweating like a swine.
Well, there is a surprise...? It wasn't his fault, it was the anti growth coalition. 😅😅😅
Tories dont do responsibility.
No one ever expects .... The Ant-Growth Coalition!

Can someone explain to me why I should feel any guilt about slavery? I'm not 200+ years old so to the best of my knowledge I had nothing to do with it.
ruclips.net/video/fZfcc21c6Uo/видео.html
You shouldn’t feel personally guilty no, but we should all feel the weight of our cultural history and ensure that we all learn from it and strive to not to allow the same mistakes to happen in the present and future. Just like Germans shouldn’t feel individual guilt for the Nazis but as a part of their cultural history they should as a nation strive to be leaders in promoting action to ensure the world never sees the like of such things again.
@@tomvandersteen5880 Well lets start by making the Italians feel guilty about the Romans.

@@dulls8475 Personally? No, but should they be aware of their cultural history and impact both negative and positive that it has had in the world? Yes. Although it’s probably considerably less relevant seeing as black slavery is within living memory and still exists in the world today.
A criminal would also say "look forward look forward" like Kwasi
I'm more interested in what happened to the lettuce.
In the summer salad.
Every nation gets the leaders that they deserve
Exactly 👏
The Tories never ever Apologise, he & Mad Liz nearly caused a melltdown
Matt Hancock done the same today . These crooks must have a new PR team , going full Trump
LOOOL THE GUY IS SWEATING ON THE SIDE OF HIS FACE
Why am I getting Prince Andrew interview vibes here?
Why would he apologize? His budget was a tory wet dream.
He is sweating like a horse.
He is too thick to be sorry for anything 😂
It is worrying if they actually believe what they are saying. Arrogance is forgivable. Ignorance isn't.
Bro sweating merciless
Well Mr Hunts approach isn't helping either
The BoE caused that problem it just happens to be at the same time he announced the Tax cut they try to sell old matured Bonds that what cause the problem with the pansion fund and they quickly turn around and started buying them back,
It's the raise of the intereste rate that cause the mortgage to go up it has nothing to do with his budget,
🤣😂He is sweating buckets
He thinks he's coming back !
So delusional, he almost fell off his unicorn.
This is what happens when you get a job based on who your friends are, not on what your qualifications are.
What's so ugly in his qualifications? economics history is irrelevant, he should've gone full economics do you mean?
NGL, no one proper wants to work for the economics sectors of the government right now I suspect, because whoever is up next will get scapegoated by the imminent economic recession, which will cause this problem to be even worse, because the people who want to responsible for it don't even want to be in office, and the one in office cannot resolve the problem...
Not sorry cos he meant it....
Absolute disgrace of a human being... Pathetic, but not unexpected... Him and all those that put him there in the first place. Should be ashamed of themselves.
What a slime 😂
His time as Chancellor showed that the global market & pensions system is in power, not any individual.
If you’re willing to get past the moment & take the lessons from last September, it was actually very revealing.
He did not enjoy that line of questioning , he was sweating buckets.
Severe incompetence! Needs sacking
Look at the man sweating. Now imagine him in court where he should be.
Makes me seeth when MP's NEVER take any responsibility for their incompetence and poor judgement.I hope Kwartang loses his seat in the next election.
Now now posh boy don't get angry!
Tories have no humanity, why are we acting surprised that he has no shame?
Escalating disagreements into dehumanisation is dangerous. If you think that people in a different party are not human, what prevents you from violating their human rights? Also, if they know what you believe, what prevents them from violating your human rights defensively?
He's "British" just like me, bro, where does it stop?
You may not like Rishi Sunak but he is excellent in economics and good with the numbers !!
Thats all we need right now for another few years !!
That must have come as a shock for C4 that this politician hasn’t apologised! The media has come to assume that they alone make or break governments.
He just sounds like Johnson. “Wasn’t me… look over there!”.
Love the “We did nothing wrong because it was a sting and not real” 😮
It's time there was a household wealth cap for political candidates and MPs set at £10 million to include property, investments and trusts.
Political candidates and MPs with wealth above the wealth cap would cease to be eligible to become or remain as MPs.
A household wealth cap for political candidates and MPs would mean MPs would better represent the majority of constitutents and reduce political oligarchy.
MPs with ownership of multiple properties and those MPs eho are landlords should bd banned from voting on housing related issues due to conflict of interest.
A referendum could determine the amount of the household wealth cap for political candidates and MPs.
“Political soulmates” is really a loaded term to describe the political partnership between Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwuntang. Politicians have common interests but hardly any close-minded confidants.
Thank you for a serious and thoughtful comment. Many others here are outrage addicts seeking a big hit of what fills their short-term needs. Tension between a PM and Chancellor may actually be better for policy formation as ideas are challenged and refined.
What a unbelievable lack responsibility for the extra costs to millions of their own voters & households ££ pounds extra each month. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏾 Him & Trust should be barred from politics 🤷🏾♂️.
He was brave just to be interviewed.
He should be jailed for doubling my mortgage! I hate him and all the Tories!
Oh poor you! Your payment for private property increased. Dearie, my heart breaks for you. /s
@@Jon.Morimoto thank you! I like homeless people too😂
Just renewed my mortgage. I'll literally have thousands of reasons a year to think on you, liz and of course brexit boris.
Oh poor sweetie! My heart bleeds for you. /s
(By the way, what is a Soviet doing with a mortgage?)
He is waffling, doing slogans. As a tory he isnt doing responsibility.
Allowing this interview to take place in the first place is a shining testimony to Kwateng's ineptitude in decision making. This man should never have gone into politics, let alone being a minister. Please in the name of God just go back to Hogwarts with your unicorn friends. Go!
Why should he apologise when we all know the budget wasn't his......remember Liz Truss🤔
jeah make him sweat. good
Has some serious questions to answer about his relationship with Crispin Odey
Kwasi is sweating like a pig😅😅😅
He is.....
……..A PIG 🐷 😂
you'd think OXFORD GRADUATES would lead better
It blew over
It’s kind of ironic, Liz Truss mini budget would’ve given me an extra £1030 per month in my pay packet. I wonder why the establishment didn’t want that….?
The C4 mob despise successful people like you. They are worried that a parasitical existence will be impractical in a free economy!
Last year's NI cut is still in force. How many of these C4 leftists are sending Revenue a cheque for the money the Tories saved them?
Channel 4 News should have asked a lot more intelligble questions rather than just asking repetitive obstinate sounding questions. What a waste of opportunities
You're confusing C4 with good journalism. This video was made as clickbait to arouse the emotions of C4's leftwing audience. It has been successful in triggering that response. YT calls this audience engagement. Older people know it as populism or rabble-rousing.
Only the guilty sweat so hard as a pig
All so-called policy makers or politicians neither feel sorry for nor apologize for their wrongdoings anytime , anywhere, which is a great tragedy and comedy of illusive democratic regime. They are too proud of their capabilities which are obviously absurd, They don't acknowledge their mistakes or failures till death.
Of course, politicians never say sorry, and when they do they don’t actually mean it. Like Boris he wasn’t sorry for promoting a person that misbehaved, he was sorry he was caught. Same as the covid parties. Sorry he was caught
I hope this man never gets another job in his life for the misery he caused millions with his reckless antics.
In other news Ed Kemper not sorry for serial murders.
Why should he be sorry? His mates alledgelly made fortunes from it. #Toryscum .
kwasi is just quasi ....an empty soul ...he isn't booming..
Look how much he’s sweating trying to defend himself, he knows exactly what he did and he’s trying to wriggle his way out of an apology.
condescending questions, very racist press.
Why would he be sorry?? He went straight out to party with his hedge fund\ disaster capitalists mates after introducing it... They made millions....
You journalists apologise for all the ills you do. Well done Mr Kwateng
I am glad, that british voters, whose mortgages went up and who are struggling with their mortgages, can see, that he dont want to apologize for the loss of 60 billion pounds.
Lies, interest rates were going up
@@tekkertruth1256 100%
I asked my mother to fix her mortgage for 5 years in July 2021 - she still mentions my “genius” today 😂
Most of these people here are gullible and clueless but also arrogant - they need someone to blame for their failings and shortcomings.
Kwarteng and Liz proposed a very good budget - in my view not even aggressive enough. A coordinated slight of hand was used by the BoE to make market interventions they were already planning (literally proposed SIX WHOLE WEEKS before the budget) in order to “calm markets” and rectify their prior inaction.
My salary has doubled since that mini-budget (deliberate objective of mine) but thanks to Sunak and Hunt my taxes are also out of control (five digits).
My next move is to emigrate - the UK is on the wrong path economically - lacking competitiveness and a smart enough voting base.
It’s everyone for himself now as the most vulnerable and gullible many who would not have read the book Kwarteng and Truss wrote - will be faced with unprecedented economic harm.
The attack on Brexit was a strong clue. The attack on the mini-budget removes all doubt - the British population prefer and insist on facing harsh economic times 🤷♂️
@@b1ueocean Bravo! It's sad seeing leftist C4 watchers moan about mortgages. Today's left is dominated by Islington, not Islwyn. Best wishes for your future plans.
