- A year ago today, Liz Truss stood in Downing Street at the start of her premiership promising “action every day”. Over the tumultuous 49 days that followed, her time as prime minister was derailed by a series of U-turns, market shocks and a pervading sense of chaos. We go behind the scenes with Truss's biographer on the shortest ever stay in No 10.

The "untold" story of Liz Truss's chaotic 49 days in No 10 is still being played out in our mortgage repayments.
Mine went up again yesterday. Now 9.34%!!!!!!
Funny how the markets got even worse under Sunak, yet the media didnt call for his resignation because they dont mind when a globalist puppet is in charge after their coup to force out Truss.
Nothing to do then with rising interest rates internationally ??
@@frankd2392Mostly no. The initial spike was a direct result of the run on pension funds and spooked markets that immediately followed Kwartangs mini budget.
She was essentially 'used' as a scapegoat for what had unavoidably become the end of any scope for continued extent of quantitative easing mechanism, that kept interest rates ridiculously low for more than a decade - it had to be shattered and reset.
The 'powers' decided that pretty much whatever she and Kwartaeng said or advocated would be 'used' and 'blamed' for what economically, had to be done anyway and was overdue literally any minute... nothing really to do with her or Kwartaeng at all..
I'm not defending or promoting them both in any way or any direction - just saying, in my opinion, how it was and is
I lived in her constituency until earlier this year and came across her a few times. It was clear that she was really sub par intellectually. She would have been a mediocre office manager at best. What she did have was ambition, a total lack of shame and the morals of an alley cat. Total disaster for the country.
To enjoy 'the morals of an alley cat' she would have needed much more agility, talent and appeal. As well as some fur.
Office managers have talent - multi-tasking, people skills, technical skills. I’m thinking you’re underrating one or seriously over-estimating her.
That was obvious when she started sabre rattling over Moldova. A complete gobshite prepared to court any controversy, blissfully unaware of and unconcerned with consequence beyond generating a headline in the Daily Mail. She failed because she was operating way above her pay grade. Markets may like "Free Market" determinism because they make money out of it, but since 2008 they know its garbage and there's only so much of these handouts from the state they can absorb before the "medicine" kills the patient that provides the magic money tree that feeds them. Providing free money with interest rates massively below inflation is not "Free Market" economics, its corporate socialism and Truss and her ilk think they can provide infinite welfare for the rich with state subsidy from a nation teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Not even the markets buy that even when they profit from it.
Lucky she didn't last long. Her policies would surely have caused inflation... phew...
@@SuperStella1111 Not all office managers, some are often people who just fail upwards.
boasting over self confidence is usually coupled with very low competence
truss is a perfect example
Dunning-Kruger personified.
@@wendysimpson6395 exactly
as is Trump
It’s called narcissistic behaviour.
And remember the TORIES ALL cheered like overgrown public school students as our economy was ruined.
Your taxes were raised and your cost of living went through the roof after Truss was replaced and you cheered for all of that because "net zero" and "we stand with Ukraine".
Now as of todays vote on Sunaks energy bill you face fines of £15,000 and a year in prison if you dont bring your own house up to whatever eco nonsense standard they order. You will have to spend whatever they say from your own pocket and you will pay and pay again, and you still wont think about it. You are lost.
And THIS is what the Tory membership wanted.
Not even Robin Hood in reverse Sunak with his snatching funds for deprived areas to give to wealthy Tory market towns could persuade them out of wanting Dizzy Lizzie and Kamikwasi Kwarteng who then flushed £30bn down the drain, all because they selfishly wanted a tax cut.
Yes Tory boys and girls, this is on you.
Absolutely. Labour need to play that in Electoral Broadcasts. They should also play Sunsk's bloopers .... boasting about diverting public money to rich areas not knowing anyvworking class people etc. to the soundtrack of 'Everybody's talking!' Eords suit that spiv.
You'll be voting for Reform then, or youre even dumber to think Labour will be any better when they've even thicker.

I think the queen gave up when she realised that Truss was her Prime minister. Poor old dear had had three years of weekly meetings with Johnson and now had to face the same with her. Surely at some point she thought " my first Prime minister was Winston Churchill. This is my latest one. I'm done now"
I can't say she was wrong.
De Pfeffel Johnson lied to the Queens face. Worst Government in living memory.
Ha! I've just made the same point.Great minds
Liz Truss killed the Queen - with despair
Poor old Queenie! _The non-thinking idiot's favourite parasite!_
Someone said she is intelligent. I believe that person should be receiving treatment.
She could well be.
The problem is when hubris eclipses intellect.
Intelligence.
The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
Clearly she lacks this ability
'intelligent' compared to them perhaps.
Someone who knew her at uni said she was as thick as two short planks, so take what you hear with a pinch of salt 😄
@@LaReynedEpee I was never taking it seriously. I was just one of those things politicians say which no one believe. Frankly I never understand why they say it as even they don't believe it.
That much salt would be fatal.
"I'm not a quitter, I'm a fighter" She resigned two days later.
Perhaps she's a 'resigner' then
I thought she resigned less than 24 hours later after she said that.
she fought the British economy and it appears that she won!
dont listen to this fake news!!!! THIS IS WHAT IS KILLING UK ECONONMY Sanctions on russia are illegal and cost rise energy prices resulting in £100 billion in loans from cental bank UK to subsidise energy, increasing inflation and interest rates and causing a housing, bond and stock market crash. Brexit and sanctions on russia are part of Boris johnson and globalists plan which has detroyed the wealth of uk citizens. GET RID OF THE TORIES!!! The war in ukraine was preventable but the west forced expansion of NATO violating agreements to force russia to invade. Russia is friendly and uk mut engage in dialogue with to protect the interests of UK and its economy WATCH BORZIKKMAN, SEAN FOO , TUCKER CARLSON, VIVEK RAMASWAY, JACKSON HINKLE AND JEFFERY SACHS ON CZcams. THESE PEOPLE SPEAK TRUTH!!! and GENERAL DOUGLAS MAGREGOR
perhaps her puppet masters at the IEA couldn't hold her up any longer
She was so grotesquely out of her depth, and anyone with a single brain cell should’ve been able to see that a mile off.
Some of us did. Pity the Tory faithful never will.
She is the only answer to the question "who would make a worse Prime minister than Boris Johnson?"
They knew, she served her purpose in making short term gains for those in the know at the cost of the UK overall.
@@johnwright9372 Yep. They still doubling down.
@@stealmysunshine That’s a close call.
‘In Liz we Truss’.... never forget that Sun headline.
Yes the newspaper of choice for the thicks 😂😂
Adult comic seems apt.
She was backed by The Times, The Mail etc as well
The sun total garbage always will be....
How long before this disaster did no one spot the woman had a vacant look, saying stuff that chimed with whatever was being discussed? And remember this was the best they could come up with...and what truly galls me is that she gets 100,000 a year for life for wrecking the entire country
Yes, so vacant! Utterly untroubled by coherent thought
That salary for the rest of her life is so grotesque. Anyone else forced out of a normal job is never going to be treated in such a way. So effing crooked this look after the boys in the club country.
@@NeilPeelParanormalPeepShow*fired for nearly bankrupting the company. Not just forced out lol.

When your electorate is the kind of person who is a member of the Conservative party you are always going to be in trouble.
Matthew Parris has it right about her "A planet sized mass of over ambition and confidence tetering on a pin sized political brain" .
The tragedy for all of us is that such talentless clowns are allowed to advance to this level.
Thanks for that, hadn’t heard that one, Parris nailing it again 😂
Wonderful quote!
All the confidence, none of the competence. Dangerous combo.
Youre right, she was dumb to resign to the Sunak coup, aided by globalist media like the Times, as this propaganda demonstrates.
She should be in Broadmoor.
Yeah, she was conscious all the time!
I was wondering if its a prison or mental asylum... :D
She should be in the ground
There's many with a severe Personality Disorder that really ought to be isolated for the protection of society
👍🏾
A historic figure, not for the reasons anyone would want.
She won't be remembered for much. She didn't even cause much long term damage in the end because Jeremy hunt mostly cleaned up her mess when she was done playing
In 20 years she will be completely forgotten

👍🏾
Typical of a narcissist I think .
Such an interesting analysis of the disaster that was Liz Truss. I’m amazed that she is still around Parliament in any capacity. This was a fascinating. Thank you.
Yeah this was a great piece of propaganda to cover up their soft coup.
She’s totally unabashed and outrageously is trying to rehabilitate her time in office even now.
A complete loon.
@@sonofsomerset1695😂
What does that say about the Conservative party, and its internal processes and mechanisms for ensuring the UK and its people are always put above the party members' emotions and loyalties?
She’s still there because of her ego and her complete lack of shame. A horrible example of ambition far exceeding talent and experience.
Thank goodness she wasn't in power any longer.
Lettuce be grateful.
“At last. The first true Tory budget”.
Result: f’kin disaster!
Oh well hire a west african get west african results 😐
'Mogadon Liz' - Liz Truss was so boring you could fall asleep to her. During her 49 days tenure at No 10, she and Kwasi Kwarteng put the country's finances into a black hole. Our country has, to date, never recovered. Except what has deeply infuriated me was, Liz never apologised. That is because she is a narcissist, and narcissists have not one shred of empathy. ...This video presentation was first class. 🌟
Couldn't agree more, she's definitely a narcissist, but so very bad at politics.
Just wanted the title but not the job .

I had no faith in her at all, so I already knew it was all going to go wrong. How could you not know this?
Nothing went wrong due to her, the markets got even worse under Sunak and he wasnt forced to resign by the media.
@@sonofsomerset1695it's not about what went wrong, it's about confidence perhaps inspiration from leaders. She offered neither.
@@ryanharriss7950 She was only in there a couple of weeks, most of which was taken up with dealing with the Queen's death, any lack of confidence was created by a concerted campaign by the media and Sunaks team to over turn the result, because she was remotely right wing unlike wishy washy globalist Sunak.
Why oh why is she still given media time?

Liss Truss's ignorance of basic economics isn't just powerful, it's weapons grade. It was like watching a kid play at being Prime Minister. Laughable.
Yet it's the exact sort of economic policy Tufton Street will continue to lobby for.
Seems like she read trickle down economics' for beginners.
Apparently if she didnt get her own way she would scream and scream a d scream until she felt sick
A kid would do a better job
She actually tanked the UK economy just by talking about her plans. It's actually impressive, in a perverse way.
In a sane world, Liz Truss would be the accounts receivable clerk at a plumbing supply wholesaler.
But probably not a very good one.
In a sane world Truss wouldnt have resigned so easily to this media coup.
🤔 I don't know. An accounts receivable clerk at a plumbing supply wholesaler is a useful person.
Nope. That position requires a degree of diligence and basic math skills that I doubt this Truss person could provide.
Noooo thats a job requiring some real ability 😂
I was a London taxi drive for 55 years andI become an expert on knowing what to expect from the majority of the public just within the first few minuets of contact it was somthing you realy had to learn to survive especially doing night work so after Lis Truss came up for prime minister I could not believe 😮 that it was true as not becouse she was a woman but after listening and watching her I was absolutely convinced she was a catastrophe waiting to happen but I did not think it would be that quick
The fact confirmed to me most depressingly in this (rather good) documentary is quite how little the current Tory party cares about the welfare of the electorate. Even as a Labour voter (which is what I am!) I readily acknowledge that John Major was a compassionate man with a profound sense of justice and common decency. This sense of appropriate behaviour, since the grotesque hubris of Johnson's premiership, appears to have been completely abandoned by the current Tory leadership. There was something footballer's-wife-like about the whiney coarseness and champagne-drinking selfishness of Truss and her cronies - utterly repulsive!
The fact that the rank & file tory party members voted for this woman. Because they believed she would offer them tax cuts at a "time of great economic international instability." Should tell you all you need to know about the tory party.
Maybe I am being unfair but I have always thought there was an element of the hard right 70 year old Tory members not wanting to vote for someone 'who looked a little different to them'.
@@willwhite1575 I bet that was indeed a thing.
@@willwhite1575 For sure.
She said “Let the markets decide”
And then they did
That is like putting your head in a lion's mouth and saying it is a sensible thing to do, because we are letting the lion decide.
@@occamraiser after smothering your head with peanut butter
George Soros used the exact same markets to short the pound when the UK entered the ERM. It crashed the economy and made him billions in a single night, and showed the world how that trick works but YOU still act like its not possible that it could be done deliberately to get rid of a PM. She wanted to lower your taxes and energy bills, so she had to go, but the best part is they got YOU to thank them for getting rid of her even after you ended up paying twice as much as a result. What a clever boy you are.
The lefty woke capitalists....😅
I've always maintained that seeing Truss in as PM was the final straw for the queen.She just gave in
She hung on till Boris was gone, thus denying him a chance to play at Churchill.
Charles' first words when he met her officially as PM were "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear" 😂😂
She turned out to be what she always appeared to be, unimpressive!
If the Queen hadn’t died, and there wasn’t a 10 day pause with no business, wouldn’t the chaotic chain of events that occurred have been brought forward, and her time at no. 10 have been even shorter?
Questionable, She could have been the 14 day PM but there's a school of thought that the events surrounding the queens death and level of attention ministers were paying to policy caused the instability that pushed the government over the edge and that they could have survived if Britain wasn't in a state of such massive shock already.
I’d agree with that.
Promoted sooooooo far beyond her ability.
If The Dunning-Kruger Effect was ever designed to describe anyone, it was designed to describe Liz Truss.
I believe it was Seneca who once said: "Liz Truss is a complete tool"
A great lesson as to why, in a democracy, ALL leaders must be elected in a public election. Not appointed in some internal party negotiation
I'm an Australian, an island of political sanity on the other side of the world, and what you suggest would be the wrong lesson to learn. It is allowing party members to elect leaders which is the real problem!
For small parties it doesn't matter but if the leader may become prime minister then it does.
It is the MPs for major parties who should always elect their leaders. You can rely on them to be motivated by self-interest so then morons like Truss and Corbyn would never have become leaders of their parties.
And proportional representation.
@@wendysimpson6395 I wholeheartedly agree that getting rid of first-past-the-post voting is the highest priority. I think the single transferable vote is better (we've used that in Australia in almost all elections for over 100 years) than proportional representation but either will do.
To counter that statement, I give you Adolf Hiter ...... he was elected by the people 😮
Sunak wasnt even appointed by his own party, yet you're upset Truss was at least, very strange.
A great listen but also frightening how fragile our democracy can be and how someone's ego can drive them, no matter how wrong they are.
Those few months starting with Boris having endless ministers quitting to Liz Truss stepping down was so surreal and entertaining yet had massive negative impacts on this country. The fact she planned for years to become leader and then failed so tremendously.
It's was a good soap opera for the more concerning observer.
a legend in her own mind
SHE has a mind?
A legend that lasted a lunchtime...
"I have a dream ... it's batshit crazy."
@@chrisbovington9607 her dream our nightmere
A sad reflection on those who voted for her
Excellent analysis and presentation. That Liz Truss should rise through the Conservative Party to achieve highest office says much about the Party since 2,010.
A prifoundly weird and cringey creature.
It was like Accrington Stanley getting a wild card entry to the Champions League final.
One season at a time- we're just waiting on a billionaire owner to kick-start thinks.
After Cameron, May and Johnson, she was he last idiot standing. Also for the crusty old gammons of the Tory Membership was was not brown skinned like Sunak
Most insane part is that she came out of it unscathed and is reasonably wealthy today cause she was a good girl doing what the think tanks on Tufton street wanted...
And the fact that many tories want to do the same thing she did again believing it will work this time...
There are absolutely no repercussions for those who have power and status; whereas if someone on a minimum wage had caused even 25% of the damage she did they would be sacked.
I hope someone will make this into a mini series...I found your story fascinating and I am just a colonial from Canada...
Me too and I am living in Holland.
Remember, initially Sunak LOST to the Truss woman! What does this tell you about Sunak????
not so much about Sunak, rather it speaks volumes about the Tory party.
It tells me he wasnt white enough. Easy as that. Racism.
A lot of torys blamed Rishi for Boris' downfall.
@@rogerphelps9939 Well she tried to lower your taxes and energy bills, but the currency speculators that work for the WEF didnt like it so they shorted the pound to get rid of her, and YOU thanked them for it. Now you pay twice as much for energy and food under Sunak, and he just passed a bill to force you to spend money on a new boiler or go to prison. Happy now?
You being oblivious to whats being done to you speaks volumes about you.
Dont talk such utter nonsense.
Someone needs to pay for energy
Someone needs to pay for government expenses
Nobody paying is simple not an answer.
UK was simple not the only country paying higher energy price s last year .
She never had the character that a priminister should have she was lame and dangerous. I find it amazing she still has the face to be in politics 😂
Hearing her voice again gives me the boak.
Will always remain to me my fav and most inspiring PM ever.... how you ask? Because she proves you can be a poor communicator yet get the highest job ever!
How did she get in.Biggest joke in political history.She should have been jailed.
She was a total disaster for this country, costing us 10s of £billions, but she will be OK, due to her Ex PM expenses. She has enormous self confidence, unfortunately for us this is totally misplaced. If she had any honour, she would go quietly and say nothing. But she hasn’t got the brains, or the honour to do that. I remember seeing that vacant look on her face as she struggled to find her way out of a room she had walked into just 20 minutes before. If it was up to me, I would prosecute her for treason
This podcast is 1/2016th the length of her career at number 10.
When mathematical reality crushes brexiteer Tory dreams! 🤣
She did transform Britain. Wish we never heard of her 😱
Great episode, we all need to remember the disaster that was Truss’s premiership. We will be paying the price for years.
What nonsense
How come? What disaster could unfold in two months? Fundamentals of economics, not hearsay. There was no disaster at all. While she was a very unsavoury character with no backbone under her skin and turn-coating for every single flag under which she served, there was NIL - ZILCH - ZERO net effect of her policies.This is simply an ignorant conclusion from those spreading the word, since policies to have a net effect there should be an economic cycle or significant turns in major value chains. The drop of the GBP against the USD was purely speculative, while the GBP to EUR FX showed a minor correction, with the FX now under the 'catastrophic' change during the very short tenure of Liz Truss. Europe remains the main trading partner for the UK, and the wet dreams of the BREXIT advocates represent the materialization of a disastrous move.
James Heale's closing words are: "She'll be a voice in the next Parliament. Whether or not she will be listened to is the key question". What a terrifying thought.
Bit like seeing an elephant at the top of a tree....You wondered how it got there, but you knew it wouldn't be there very long
That made me😂
This was a very interesting summary of the disastrous Truss/Kwarteng regime. But it wasn't just the policies or comms that caused its rapid demise, but the extremist economic ideology that they tried to impose on the country. By not delving into that, and concentrating only on events, this summary is badly incomplete.
Yeah, no mention of Tuftin Street at all, the source of that ideology
- “I am a FIGHTER!”
- “I resign as PM!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Didn't have a clue why I was so upset last year watching how the Tory hustings was going down.
I don't suppose he noticed her premiership because The Sun was too busy attacking the unions whilst she and her crew were trashing the place.
I think he's still oblivious now (he is getting on a bit).

Brilliant episode. Incredible that our country - any democratic country for that matter - could possibly manage to install such a completely inept leader. The tragedy is that the seeds for the disaster were firmly sowed in another democratic experiment. The Brexit vote and subsequent hardline agreement has tied our hands so firmly that people like Truss and her cronies became a real option for the Conservative party because as far as they are concerned there is no other option for growth. The truth is that until we re-visit our whole relationship with Europe we have absolutely no prospect for a healthy economy and the UK will slowly grind to a halt..

How can someone described as “not the most natural communicator” get anywhere near the top of politics? Surely that’s the most basic skill of someone who needs to earn votes and win the favour of fellow politicians. Blows my mind how a succession of not all that bright fools connive their way to the top.
Perhaps the Yes Minister episode "Party Games" might give a clue...?
What gets me is that practically everybody was saying she would be a disaster and yet they made her pm anyway.
Utterly bizarre and clearly the moment the wheels finally fell off the Tory clown car .
Matthew Parris as usual spot on.From a Labour voter
I knew she was going to be terrible and not last that long but didn’t think she would be gone by October. She refused to listen to so many people who told her the mini budget plans were a disaster.
I have been a lifelong
Tory voter not a member of the party and I have always been surprised that she won the leadership after Johnson,but for vivid he would have been still in office and poised to win again,now I don,t see how Labour can lose.!
Between Her, Boris, May & Cameron the reputation of the Tory party for fiscal compliance has been destroyed. It's like a list of every type of managerial and human failure. Scrap this party.
Thanks for doing this episode, appreciated.
Yes you came into office at a very chaotic time and managed to make it so much worse!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And she still thinks she is competent and viable as an MP.
We thought things couldnt get any worse after her. How wrong we was.
I don’t miss her and kamikwazi. Some folk just don’t have the capacity for imposter syndrome.
So much ambition but so very little skill or talent
Well her skills and talent lay elsewhere , hence her rather meteoric rise .
It’s disgraceful that she’s not behind bars.
Didn't king Charles call her "dear girl" when they first met when the Queen died. She was doomed from that moment, the optics were "silly girl" she lunged at him and looked terrified 😅, the clips of her as a young libral giving a speech about abolishing the Monarchy are hilarious worth checking out

The Liz Truss autobiography should have been entitled “In the thick of it”.
This is not the story. The story you SHOULD be talking about is that kamikaze kuartang has been on retainer with Crispín Odey his whole political career. No wonder he was having Champagne with bankers the day after he shafted our currency and CO shorted it making multiple millions on the trade.
Shout out to @bylineTV for proper investigation
55 Tufton Street.
Odey was once married to Murdoch's daughter.
Interesting@@johnwright9372 I didn’t know that. Not surprised.
Liz's problem is that she even looks subpar intellectually even though she may not be. The irony is that she is a free market politician, yet it was the free market that judged her policies so negatively in the aftermath of the mini budget.
Excellent job, James Heale!
How much did she make on hedge funds????
"At last! A true Tory budget"....Daily Mail the following days headlines
The brightest and best that the modern conservative party had to offer.
Certifiable!!!
How could it go right when she had no relevant credentials.
She had the right ideas and policies. But she executed them with unbelievable incompetence. Trying to do sudden drastic change all at once is always a recipe for disaster. It freaks people out too much and p1s3s people off too much. You have to do change gradually so that it doesn't create a sudden shock or panic to the system. Announcing major tax cuts immediately after announcing a massive spending hike on energy policy, that followed previous major spending hikes by Boris for C19, was monumentally foolish. It's no surprise the financial markets freaked out and panicked.
Deliver deliver deliver ..... chaos chaos chaos
What about the pork market in Beijing?
She is a real genius!
Every prime minister since Cameron has been an Oxford University graduate. Two of the five, Johnson and Truss have proved utterly incompetent, Cameron was barely capable and gave us the Brexit vote, and Theresa May, although honest and conscientious, didn’t have all the qualities for the job. Judgement remains to be see on Sunak , although the schools issue among others does taint him.
The time has come to ask whether Oxford University, and particularly the PPE course, still remains a platform for producing decent ministers in government, or the laurels it rests on are rotting away.
The elite fee paying schools bear some responsibility for the dire state of the nation.
John Major didn't go to Oxford, or indeed any university, not that he was a spectacular success as PM either, however he was in office for longer than Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, and probably Sunak too....
