Liz Truss reacts to being shortest-serving PM EVER | Exclusive Interview
In this special edition of The Reaction, former prime minister Liz Truss discusses her rapid ascent to power and shock downfall. Liz reveals to Andrew Pierce the dramatic beginning to her premiership, including her historic encounter with the Queen at Balmoral, and the advice she ignored from Her Majesty.
From political plotting to woke institutions, Liz paints a vivid picture of the turmoil of her tenure in Number 10 and admits that her position felt doomed from the start. She denied being embarrassed that she will go down in history as the UK’s shortest-serving PM, holding office for just 49 days before being ousted. Andrew grills her about mistakes she made, her chaotic budget and rumours about her relationship with then Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.
Despite her brief tenure, Liz reflects on her legacy, and the urgent message in her new book, “Ten Years to Save the West”, urging conservatives worldwide to confront leftwing and woke ideology.

She hacked away people's livelihoods and oppotunities to the point she created the underclass of people she claimed to rail against. She made us a bit part player in the world.

Totally incompetent.

The idea of Truss's policies were actually in the right direction but unfortunately it was too drastic too soon and the Bank of England who had been pumping money in the system for years and keeping interest rates low, didn't take kindly to it, as well as the bond market who didn't see any growth in the future.

[@sasserine]

Unfunded handouts, to people who send the money out of the country to tax havens, are always 'too much, too soon'. For some strange reason, fully-costed budgets, to invest in UK infrastructure, and people who would circulate their money within their community, seem to be constantly ridiculed by the tax avoiding owners of this channel and their employees.

Be a free market fundamentalist, but make a plan so poorly thought out (she admitted she completely failed to understand how intertwined are the bond markets to pension funds) that the markets hate it and tank the economy.
