That was the fastest resignation ever!!!π€£
Wow, she fixed great economic instability in matter of weeks so her job was done. LMAO
Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside – JFK
and to let this sink in for the rest of her life she will get 115k of Tax payer money every year for being PM for less then 2 months …….
How long did Sean Spicer’s replacement, Anthony Scaramucci, last?
Next PM : hold my beer.. and my resignation speech
Tanked the economy in 6 weeks. Good job, Liz.
@Cranberry Eater “I’m an American”. You may wan’t to interact with actual Brits who live there to get a better perspective.
@CYCOlogist indeed I am American, with an astute understanding of EU and troika. I am willing to wager that you have no clue what I am referring to when I mentioned the name Varoufakis.
@autentyk i didn’t vote to leave. I didn’t believe the lies and promises. Most of scotland voted to remain in the eu
Message to the Tories, do not replace Truss with Boris Johnson. This will fail. It’s time to call an election. You’ve lost the confidence of the people
agreed
She’s being replaced by a lobotomised chimp which has been shaved and put in a suit. I think it could work better than the last two disasters.
“45p tax cut – gone.
Corporation tax cut – gone.
20p tax cut – gone.
Two year energy freeze – gone.
Tax-free shopping – gone.
Economic credibility – gone.β
And last but not least, Liz Truss, GONE! Well done Keir Stramer! πππππ
@Michael Bee this is your opinion….
Created a big financial problem, which may still spread to be a global one. Fired the team and then bailed with a PM’s pension and lordship waiting for her. Great job.
She did keep one pledge restore bankers bonuses, she kept that one and never raised a a tax levy on the energy companies, she is a friend to the wealthiest fat cats .
@Michael Bee Are we Irish allowed to object to when Israel used forged Irish passports to assassinate one of the Hamas leaders? Not that anyone’s going to weep for a dead terrorist or that group, which murders gays like me and plenty of Palestinians too, but still – in your cosy view, are any critics of Israel over her politics and actions ‘morally wrong’, or is literally Anything that the Israeli government says and does ‘morally right’?
Wow that was fast!
Almost as fast as Mike Flynn getting fired.
What’s weird is that she actually managed to make Boris Johnson look good.
Well,Canning lasted 120 days and he was half dead when elected.
π€£π€£π€£
She basically crop dusted all of England and shut all the doors.
Shortest PM in history, a general election is needed. The people should be the ones to decide who is the next PM since they can’t elect a competent candidate
For those watching in the US…
This is the most riveting and viscerally engaging speech she has ever given.
This, along with her multilateral incompetence and delusional narcissism, might explain in part her unpopularity.
There is much besides.
@John Smith no freaking way they have the City the finances of the world goes through there.
@Stephen Grahn Incorrect, finance of the world goes through NYC, Shanghia and Tokyo. Get with the program laddie.
Didn’t think Charles would break his mother’s record of having 179 prime ministers but maybe….
The one time in your life you made people smile, truss!!! ππππ
Haha
Even in Italy they donβt rotate Prime Ministers as quickly as this! π
Yeah maybe but something tells me that right wing president in Italy is not going to last long either.
It looks like a rotisserie of PMs.
She walked into an extremely difficult situation and simply wasnβt a good enough politician to get through it.
The truth is the UK is in for some very difficult economic times. She completely failed in her communication w the people, the private sector and the parliament on what she was doing and why it was necessary.
“I’m a fighter not a quitter”
That aged well π€¦π»
this is what happens when you have a demagogue who simply parrots talking points that people want to hear but have no plan or understanding of how to deal with serious government issues.
Cameron-resigned
May-resigned
Boris-resigned
Truss-resigned
What an incredible party π€¦ββοΈ
and Boris would be resigning at some point in the future again…
Only if Biden would take a hint and resign
@Frank O 110% agree! UK is no longer an influence in the world. Its like Ghana.
The CEO of a road sign factory somewhere in the UK:
“No way… how the hell we ran out of U-Turns so quickly?!”
“I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability … and I said to myself ‘You call this instability?’, and so I then proceeded to tell the world to hold my pint … “

I love british comedies and I like to follow politics. This is the best crossover ever – british politics is now an absurd comedy
It allways has been. Check out a show called yes minister and its follow up yes prime minister. Funny as hell.
@Lupin the 3rd I know that one quite well, fir example the very first episode where Sir Humphrey tricks Jim Hacker into cancelling the order for US printers, when UK has its own, while PM is about to sign Anglo-American trade treaty… And Jim Hacker could have ended up as the shortest serving minister ever π Well, Lizzie is ever worse
10 Downing Street has a revolving door. Bye Felicia. To the left ..to the left. Next…
She made the wrong move at the wrong time: Tried to use a strategic move when a a tactical one was called for. You can’t give free money to the rich today when the poor cannot even feed themselves.
Well Biden did the same thing, and he even forgets he’s the President. Although ppl are cheering for this, I think they should also realize there’s a lesson here too.
As I use to say as a teacher: “Everybody brings joy to this place. Some when they enter and others when they leave.”
@trainwreck told ya BAAAAHHHHHH BAHHHHHHHH
Hello Leila
@billweir1745 ha. Ha. Biatch. πππ
@Manuel G. Velilla you don’t know me.
The problem with the βconservativeβ party is that it is staffed by people who are not conservatives.
No the problem is that its full of conservatives
