Ex-Tory minister lambasts Liz Truss as she flies to America to support Donald Trump | LBC

- Rishi Sunak ‘trashing my record’ is to blame for the Conservatives' disastrous election result, the former Prime Minister Liz Truss has claimed.
Writing in The Telegraph, Ms Truss admitted she stayed quiet during the election campaign “to prevent further damage to the party” but said she must “speak out now”.
The former Prime Minister said: “More than 250 of us paid the electoral price for this. Regrettably, over the course of the next five years it will be the British people who have to bear the cost of this failing.”
Ms Truss then singled out Mr Sunak, who she claims “abandoned” Conservatives principles by claiming that “cutting taxes did not generate growth”.
This morning, former Tory MP Conor Burns unleashed on Ms Truss following her comments, saying those around her are "letting her down.
He told LBC's Sunday with Lewis Goodall: "I don't think she's actually well and those who are close to her are letting her down by not telling her the truth, she is preposterous, she is toxic, she needs to be quiet!"

Lovely, his Dad lives in Spain. The Tories took our right away to do the same.
Yep. Rules for thee, Not for me.
Tory unofficial motto.
His dad is Irish so is he. No limits to their freedom of movement 😂
yes, that's a fact! he would do well to keep quiet about some things too.
What? To live in Spain? Who's stopping you?
@@SB-th8uc Rules are stopping him.
Liz Truss was not an aberration she is emblematic of how detached from economic reality the Tories are.
Typical tory, self, then mates, then party and maybe country.
Correct.
Economic? What about the rest of reality?
They hailed her mini budget as a "triumph". The "first conservative budget".
@@VincentPeters-vs2us haha beat me by 4 minutes 😂
The scary think is Liz Truss thinks she has a positive legacy to defend.
She is utterly insane and completely out of touch with reality.
"utterly insane and completely out of touch with reality."
The really insane reality is that she gets to crow about for the rest time on a prime minister's pension telling everyone how lucky they were to have had her and what a terrible mistake it was to get rid.
Oblivious ...!!
A typical narcissist.
@@kinggeoffrey3801narcissistic and sociopathic
She should get on well with Donnie and his MAGA faithful then. Let's hope she stays out there.
Deluded self serving Tory’s, everyone else’s fault
Why did it take him losing his seat to sound like a human?
Grifter got to Grift.
A life of privilege.
Nothing human going on there
Doesn’t feel the need to bend the knee to the Tory whips now so is being more honest maybe
Because when you've chosen to represent a sociopathic point of view as a career, honesty is not an option even if you do have some remnant of a soul.
The irony of the Tory MP flying to Spain to escape the mess he has put the UK in is clearly lost on this absolute gammon.
I am Scottish SNP voter, so anti Tory to my bones. I really don't think it's lost on him and he strikes me as the polar opposite of a gammon tory.
Don’t think he gets to tell his dad where to live
I mean I hate the tories too but if anyone’s dad lives in Spain and they decide to go there after losing their job rather than staying in the U.K. who can really blame them? 🤷🏻♂️
I’d much rather be there enjoying the sun, wouldn’t you?

Out visiting his immigrant father.
Perfect.
Emigrant?
@@davidhoyle6626 No. He's most certainly settled in Spain as an immigrant.
A confessed Eurosceptic who runs off to Spain to be with his father to reflect on his defeat. Just sums up the Tories to a tee.
Eurosceptic does not mean anti Europe.
The eu and Europe are a different thing..
@@eddiecalderone No but it does mean someone who took away from all British citizens the opportunities his family have enjoyed to extend their lives beyond Britain. A selfish destroyer of freedom for others.
Are all your friends and heroes like that?
@@eddiecalderone So both you and your father holding an Irish passports so you can freely travel through the EU. your father living in a EU country and benefitting from all the membership the same way you can. that makes you a card carrying Eurosceptic does it? to my mind that makes you a hypocrite. Is he campaigning for Spain or Ireland to leave the EU? I think not because that would mean he and his father might suffer negatively. He may claim to be a Eurosceptic more like he saw a political opportunity that wouldn't inconvenience him and he took it.
@dwdei8815 or, "I can travel and do business how I like in Europe, but you oiks can't."
Blames Truss. Praises Thatcher. No self awareness.
He is absolutely right about Truss, but the Conservative members voted her in which shows also how incompetent and out of touch they are. This as it stands the Party is a dead duck from top to tail.
She never lost the whip after her performance as the worst PM in history. Some Tories continue to listen to her. She should have disappeared and never been seen in public againfor the shame.
Truss was the symptom, an inevitable result of a built-in cause: The politics of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for the wealthy. Everyone else who supports them is just a rube to be fooled and used. Truss was conservative politics spoken out loud. She was loopy enough to speak candidly. ("We need to become more like China.")
How could the members be out of touch?
That's what they are.
As a member of the labour party, I would have been called upon should the same thing have happened if they’d been in power. James O’Briens book How They Broke Britain is a very important read for anyone who is attracted to politics - Murdoch, MacKenzie and Dacre are almost untouchable moguls with zero journalistic value writing total garbage in their media, digested by the public (AND TORY PARTY VOTERS) and we get what we got in Truss - she was massively out of her depth, as was Kwarteng
@@shawngrinter2747 Another failing of our electoral system that we are never allowed to vote for proposed prime minister. Is there anything that is not a total confidence trick?
I don't feel that Truss should shut up, every time she comes out with yet another unhinged statement we're reminded just how shockingly inept the Tories were and how big the mess is that they have left the country in.
And what their agenda is, when spoken out loud.
Absolutely. If dangerous idiots aren't allowed to speak, we can never know who they are.
She’s not a Tory , she’s not a Lib Dem , she’s totally bonkers
Why did Conor Burns not say any of this when he was in office ? And, about Liz Truss, your party loved her. She was the Conservative party members choice.
They chose the white woman with a poor record of achievement over an Asian banker who was a tolerable Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The only way Rishi became Prime Minister was because the only other person who wanted it had already been sacked from the post for lying,Boris wanted to be dragged back but even the Tories knew the country wouldn’t tolerate that
Rishi was the mps choice while the members liked Truss and Duncan Smith over better candidates. Remember Labour members chose Corbyn though mps could not stand him. I think mps know better.
I'm no fan of Sunpat, but he was obviously a far better choice than her. Can't possibly think what they saw in her.
Truss and Boris led the tories to defeat
Cameron donated the map
@@joanormrod4893Exactly, Cameron did the most damage, but a close call.
Can we stop the ‘Boris’ reference. Johnson has committed untold damage.
And Rishi seemed to happily skip to oblivion 😂
Sunak didn't help. He made himself to be prince of fools. Then there was calamity May. I can't get out of my head when she was speaking and letters in the background started falling of the wall etc. Classic 😂😂😂
Don't even mention Cameron. The Brexit man who having failed in the Brexit election turned tail and ran - coward. Then there was the lie about the no money left note which Cameron engineered with his media pals.
Britain will be better having seen the back of these Muppets.
Another MP easily as useless as Truss,who STILL backed HER remember
@terry So what did Truss actually do wrong?
@@chatham43 Are you seriously, genuinely asking what Truss did wrong?
@@chatham43 Hunt implemented her tax cutting agenda.
Do you mean Coffey? she's the only one that comes to mind.
@@chatham43 Tried to promise tax cuts against borrowed money that she couldn't rely on being given. IMF stepped in so I understand. Then hedge funders were all over shorting of the pound. Ill advised for sure and headstrong.
Q. "Why do you think it did go wrong"
A. "We kept telling lies and nobody believed us"
The Tory take away for that will be that in future they should only tell believable lies.
"...and finally ENOUGH people stopped believing us, once they were personally affected."
Actually, too many people believed the lies . When we tried to point out the lies , they called us " unpatriotic" , and worse .
@@user-qq2vq4fv8bThat’s Murdoch, MacKenzie and Dacre for you…
@@MoebiusUK actually they kept telling lies and a lot did believe them.
WHO BROUGHT LIZ INTO PARLIAMENT ? RIGHT; DAVID CAMERON; THIS MAN HAS MADE QUITE A FEW WRONG DECISIONS AS PM ! THEREFORE THEY MADE HIM A LORD ?!
A small number of Tory members voted Liz Truss in. Even smaller number voted Rishi Sunak in (who was much more competent than her but the bar was very low).
@@joanormrod4893 May I ask for a little lecture on this procedure : a MP is voted into parliament by the party members if they are not voted in by their constituancy ?
As PM Liz was voted in by the tory members , for Rishi no one voted as PM , he was appointed
@@joanormrod4893 But she lost to a lettuce, a lettuce! 😂😂
No need to shout
Burns is correct about Truss, but he didn't mention the real issues that cost the Tories - austerity, mendacity, venality, sheer incompetence.
Absolutely, 14 years of being absolutely awful in government,l was what did it! Austerity, bringing about the greatest act of economic self-harm ever faced by the UK in Brexit, Boris and Cummings, their lockdown lies and absolute disdain for the general public they were deceiving, and then Truss and Quarteng. It's pretty obvious what did it!
In addition, there's been all the hypocrisy and selling off of British businesses, real estate and public services, not to mention the shameful support of warmongering politicians in other countries.
All these arsonists now turning up as fire fighters
He keeps going on about "creating wealth" yeah who are you creating that for ? The gap in salaries just keeps getting bigger.
@carver Where do you think wealth comes from?
@@chatham43 Wealth comes from manufacturing a marketable commodity and selling it at a profit. Not from selling public concerns to private investors who then divert profit into their own coffers whilst expecting the concern to be bailed out by the tax-payer. Thames Water anyone??? Teesworks???
@@chatham43 I would suggest the worker creates the wealth. The problem we have is greed and lack of reinvestment, you just have to look at Thames Water. Wealth/profit is syphoned off to offshore accounts and shareholders and reinvestment is lost.
Who loses when this happens, the worker and the country.
Yes, and "to give themselves the wealth to help the little people who cannot help themselves." What an utterly revolting worldview.
The key aspect of the tory govt from 7/2016 until 7/2024 is the absence of more or less any criticism of the tory govt by the Tory press et al. Brexit failures, partygate, Porridge Johnson, Truss & all of the incompetence went more or less uncriticised, unscrutinised & uncommented upon: imagine their reaction if it was labour illegally prorouging parliament, partying during covid, crashing the economy, touting for wallpaper etc etc? The failings of the tory govt were enabled by the Tory press
Agreed.
You are so right!
They say they stand on principles. So why was Cameron so scared of Farage he abandoned his principles and said what do we have to do , to win?
Nothing new there then. Even when gamblegate was going on, the Express and the rest of the rags were talking about the "last chance to save Britain. Vote Tory!". Up is down
Up is down so nothing new there then. Even when gamblegate was going on, the Express and the rest of the rags were talking about the "last chance to save Britain. Vote Tory!".
Euroskeptic flees to Spain where his dad lives ? Don't you just loves the Tories .
He speaks like he's sane, but most of what he says implies that he's just as deluded as the rest of them.
She'll do well in America then
'Not well' Is an understatement.
@Sam Why?
Chatham is unwell?
Visiting your dad in Spain, you say? It would be a shame if you voted to remove our freedoms to do the same… 🙄
The Tories are walking down the same path as the Republicans.
It's where the new money is
That Venn Diagram is a circle...
He is correct about Truss -- "incompetent ", definitely "delusional ", probably certifiable.
And when is suited him he gave his full support to her, says a lot about him.
Hmmm. 🤔 not hard to understand why normal people are angry with the corruption and deceit.
As we say in Scotland, Truss should have "A word with herself!"
Truss is a lunatic...😂
Elaborate?
@@chatham43 she doesn t know what she is talking about.
She destroyed the economy and still thinks she was right.
@@chatham43 No, work it out for yourself troll.
A raving lunatic.
Never trust a tory.
I expected you to write... Never truss a tory !
You mean he doesn't know what was wrong??? With Conservative party
Ignoring the electorate doesn't help in winning elections
Complaining about the fire in the house he was responsible for... From Spain.
'Oh, look, flames everywhere! Right, I'm off to that place I've helped deny all you plebs.'
Was this a deliberate lesson in irony?
He still doesn’t get it, he said the conservative government failed to create the wealth….. wrong, businesses create the wealth, government creates the climate and supports the nation by running public services on our behalf. They failed in both areas….
Look at these people Boris was born in America his father has a French passport sunak has a green card Farage can get a German passport Brexit has no effect on their ability to work or travel Braverman studied in paris on a scholarship all the things that the Tories told the voters they would be better of without
If we must look at the educational, or lack of, attributed to Angela Rayner and most of her fellow female compatriots. Scary.
All I hear is "Its not my fault" lets get out of the country and leave it where it is. No accountability in anything he's saying.
Boris wasn't the sharpest tool in the box either.
an expensive education does NOT guarantee an increase in IQ, 'intellect' is something one gets at birth, there is no point in pouring water into a bucket with a huge hole in it because it is a waste of time and effort, and likewise there is no point in spending a fortune on trying the 'educate' a 'bucket with a hole in it', and then being shocked when said bucket turns out to be useless at being a bucket/
What do you expect from the sniggering back of the Dunce Class troupe at Floreat ? Public School creates very disturbed people. Eton goes one step further.
Seems that the toolbox is full of blunt tools.....
@joseph Least he made it to the box.😊
@@chatham43 🤣🤣🤣
Expect to hear Liz Truss's name for a long time moving forward. If the Tories bashed Kier Starmer for his ties to Jeremy Corbyn for the best part of 5 years, expect Labour to now do the same too whomever is the next Tory leader is.
The Tories were only recently banging on about "the letter" they found at the treasury.
"No more cash. We gave it all away to bail out the banksters."
Fourteen years later and it was still the best they had to offer on that particular day.
Watch how quick the punters forget though.
@@bakedbean37 That letter was a joke that all outgoing governments handed to the next but the Tories decided to make a deal out of it and make out it was real.
Trashing her record? 40 days? It’s dropping in for a coffee. Not enough time to create a record.
She is a disaster. But the Conservatives chose her
To be fair, 49 days.
@james Explain what she did wrong.
@@chatham43 budget fiasco
Remember who put Truss into power as PM - NOT the electorate but Tory Ministers.
No they didn’t. It was the Tory Party members. The parliamentary party did not support her.
Conor's still unable to say that no one could trust Johnson, and that killed trust in the Tory party. Truss was sh1te - but Johnson was worse.
Love how this entire interview Burns suspiciously forgets that he supported Truss, Brexit, Sunak, and basically everything he is complaining about here.
So, nothing to do with years of corruption, dishonesty, and a blatant refusal to accept responsibility for anything bad that happened under their watch? Got it.
Absolutely! but do you really think that it will change whoever is in power? Unfortunately politicians today think that getting elected means they just won a ticket to the free bar. Even the patriotic SNP leadership cant help but help themselves. Very sad state of affairs.
M.Thatcher wasn't the full wack either? They drooled over her.
Trashing what record? The shortest serving PM😂
The entitled now blaming each other! Jokers
This is probably the only time that I have agreed with a Tory. Truss is as mad as a box of frogs, and she does need to shut up and go away.
I think you are being unkind to frogs... After all, frogs are useful.... !
“Create wealth”? For already rich people maybe.
All these 'moderate' Tories lamenting the election result, I get why they'll be personally upset about losing their seat, but what are they so afraid of in terms of the present government? Do they really think Sir Keir Starmer is that far removed from a supposely 'moderate' conservative?
In fairness, although the headline policies looked close, there are some promising legislative and policy proposals coming through. I've been encouraged over the last couple of weeks.
@@gmonkman Sure, but for the Tories to be 'scared' of these mostly moderate policies, just goes to show how batshit crazy they are.
@@GregOrCregoh do stop this illiterate nonsense.
@@pathopewell1814 'Illiterate nonsense'?
What? Claiming that a moderate centrist government is moderate and centrist? Sorry, that I'm not using hyperbolic, extremist, histrionic language. Would that be more 'literate' in your opinion?
You never recovered from the Johnson debacle, Truss was just the icing on the cake.
Lots of tories and their families have homes in Europe- the irony.
Corruption. End of.
Truss was always an incompetent grifter and becoming Prime Minister just showed it clearly to everyone in a way that she couldn't hide.
The ‘Milk Snatcher’ actually got less votes in her second election, even though she called a snap election while the country was on a high after the Falklands Conflict. She was deeply unpopular before the Task Force headed south.
Absolutely agree... Thatcher was the most unpopular PM... Then the taskforce recovered the Falklands, and Thatcher became the most popular PM since Churchill, then it all ended in tears, of course....
@@richardruff8712she was the best Prime minister this country has had since Winston Churchill.
@@pathopewell1814 Are you saying that she was the best PM in the years 1945 to 1979 ?... Or are you saying that she has been the best PM in the years 1945 right through to 2024...?
Confession! As soon as Sir Conor starts to define what he sees as 'conservative' values, he mentions individual wealth FIRST. Being honest, he should have stopped right there because that is it, the only thing they have ever cared about. Governing is a chore for tories, what they want is the keys to the treasury and no scrutiny.
He supported and defended Johnson, he was in Truss' cabinet, he thinks a lot of Badenock and he wanted us out of the EU. With that record I think his opinions can be safely consigned to the bin.
What's even more disturbing are the Tories who were surprised by the results.
Liz Truss was the Labour Party's fifth columnist in the Conservative Party. Best fifth columnist ever!
Liz Truss is Tufton Street's 5th columnist actually!
They never learn.It's always someone else's fault.
Which Conservative Party is he talking about? One that looks after those who can't look after themselves? I'm 64 years old and I don't recognise that version of the Tories at all!
"The perception of us being competent was dealt a body blow by Liz Truss"
Hmm yeah sure. But it had been severely weakened by Boris Johnson.
And perception is not reality!
"What was it about the 14 years we were in government that lead to this...?"
Well the 14 years you spent in government didn't 🤬 help
Hmm maybe making everyone poorer and living wages and standards falling through the floor and victimising the disabled and poorest had something to do with it?
This guy has no right to moralise, I remember well him being a Cheerleader for Johnson, the Absolute worst of them all.
I think you should also ask why party members had such a raging speedhorn for Liz Truss. They literally voted for the most incompetent individual, despite it being quite obvious.
Conor Burns found guilty by Parliament standards committee for using parliamentary priveledge to intimidate member of public regarding financial dealings of his father.I dont think he should have air time.
It was the Conservative Party that chose her ( and crooked Boris).
I feel the tories will not get back in power if they go to the right. I feel governments have to be led from the centre otherwise democracy could be undermined
I hope the Tories never get back in power. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see Labour in power forever either. I want PR and consensus Government. If that means the Tories and Farage in opposition forever I could live with that
@@garykelly6669 same they take the public for granted and believe they have a divine right to rule. Also I think it’s damaging for anyone party to be in power for a long period of time because as we saw over the last 14 years complacency set in

"Look after yourself "motto of the tories
I take great exception to this comment. As a lifelong Conservative voter I have values and high standards of decency. Admittedly events have ruined our present Party. However the tide will turn on the money grabbing hypocrisy of the Labour party. We have witnessed this countless previous times.
@pathopewell1814 I take great exception to the damage done to the UK by the conservatives. Look after yourself has always been the tory policy. Hilarious that you think otherwise
The problem with that argument is if there was too much taxation what was it spent on? People don’t mind taxes if they are spent for the benefit of people!
Never vote Tory. Ever.
I have and always will vote for the Conservative party.
"There's no such thing as society" - Mrs. T..... and yet he invokes her electoral record
What were you all doing during her tenure as a Minister? All this is far too late. She was let loose and millions are now broke.
P. S. She isn’t.
Evil is losing all over the world.
It’s not, it’s just moving the X formerly Twitter.
The Tories all voted for her.
Well there is your problem. If you don’t know how you treated the British people. If you don’t know about the lies and disgraceful behaviour of your team. You don’t see how you’ve destroyed our services and not delivered on hospitals prisons etc. Conning people out of the EU. You have absolutely no hope of changing. Your party is seriously the most untrustworthy party ever.
I will say that Mr Sunak has carried himself well. I do think he is better than this record. He did quell an absolutely dreadful situation left by Johnson and Truss.
If you want to see the results of nearly a decade and a half of single party rule look around: thousands of food banks, potholed roads, millions waiting for NHS treatment,a mental health crisis amongst children , an horrific level of obesity across the generations and a feeling of hopelessness amongst nearly half the adult population who did not bother to vote earlier this month.
No fan of Burns as he was a big supporter of Johnson. However, I heard this interview this morning & the way he referred to Truss was extraordinary. Gave her both barrels. The public will never forgive her for shafting their mortgages.
For a moment I thought finally a Tory who actually understands reflecting isn't about writing an article before the election. But no, he too has already decided what went wrong and just thinks everyone else needs time until they agree with his conclusions. Just like the rest of them.
So why was she enabled for all those years? Who enabled her?
Truss is the most incompetent, self serving, inept, vacuous, paranoid, arrogant PM of my lifetime. I hope that we never see the likes of her again. However, with Badenoch and Braverman on the rise - I fear we will get the same again.
Did you forget Bunter Johnson?
Well that was obvious.
A Tory not ashamed to say that he is in his dad's property in Spain !
The interview should have ended the and there !
Who really cares what Tories think any more? These are just spectres from an old nightmare.
like the Republican Party in the states, the tories have attracted the most zealous, but unintelligent people in the land.
Why were the Tories defeated? Reflecting on the last 14 years?

Honest question, when conservatives keep insisting that the Tory Party wasnt offering 'real conservativism' what on earth are they talking about?
We had 14 years of thay party where rich people came out of it richer than they went into it and poor people came out poorer than they went into it. That outcome is the core principal of the entire ideology and they succeeded at it every step of the way.
100 hundred thousand pounds a year for what? Truss
The fact that Truss, was even allowed to be in the party, let alone PM says how absolutely arrogant and morally bankrupt the Tories are.

Where his Father lives, again one rule for the Tories my Dad lives in Spain but we're denying this to future generations with Brexit. Sheer hypocrisy
Freedom of movement still exists for those with cash, nothing as changed. Brexit only removed freedom of movement if you are skint.
Well, Brexit was the result of a referendum. You get what you sow. Not you personally, but at least sometimes the people have to take responsibility for their own actions. Yes, certain politicians and media lied to them, but they could also hear and read the truth and warnings if they wanted to and willfully dismissed it as scaremongering. The more delusional ones still think, that if only the "real" Brexit was carried out, things would be just fine. 🤷

Generally I don't think Liz Truss recovered from the shock of losing her seat in parliament.
If she is perceived to be so terrible by the party then why is she still in the party?
Oh the irony of this person and his delusional comments.
Worst part about Truss is she still is going to get tax payers money for a pay off and a large pension for doing a lousy job.
