"I'm SORRY" - Piers Morgan EXTRACTS Apology From Kwasi Kwarteng For Breaking Economy Under Liz Truss

The former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng finally apologised for his economic misjudgements on tonight’s Piers Morgan Uncensored.
In a 24-minute interview, award-winning TalkTV host Piers Morgan repeatedly asked why the politician, who lost his job after just 38 days in office, was unwilling to say sorry to the British people.
During a fiery exchange - in which Piers alluded to Frost v Nixon - the pair clashed time and time again with the shortest-serving living Chancellor saying: “I’m not going to come here, wear a hair shirt and apologise and say sorry.”
Piers responded: “Why not?” Kwarteng replied: “I want to look forward. I don’t want to look back.”
At one point Piers asked the former MP over 20 times if he was sorry, and pressed him on why the words were so difficult to find. Watch to find out what happened next.

Was Kwasi Kwarteng right to apologise?

[@benfroughi]

Piers should not have said they lost their minds. They were trying to cut taxes, in a time of massively high taxation. They didn't do anything wrong. The people who stopped them are the ones to be angry with.

[@alejandrososa920]

19:16 The irony of Piers saying "I've not tried to drag that out of you", having just spent the entire interview getting him to do just that.

[@TheQuietGuyAtTheBack]

Exactly what I thought.

feels cathartic, politicians always are trying to slip and slide out of responsibility and for once someone holds their feet to the fire and makes them look truly foolish.

Morgan wastes time getting Kuarteng to grudgingly apologise but the night before didn't ask the Mayor of London one direct question about his ULEZ lies and distortion s. Morgan needs to stop believing the hype about his interviewing skills.

[@nicw1763]

My mortgage went up £350 as a result of this man’s actions. This dancing about on the head of a pin and refusing to apologise just shows how little people like him care about people like me.

[@jdubbleu1011]

He’s a pr1ck

[@kriss2111]

Actually it was likely because of the banks that run London city not wanting a break for working people if it eats in to a little bit of their profit. That’s why they did him, and brought their own guy in, another billionaire. This is the price of attempting to do a solid for working people.

[@markdavidson5379]

So the world doesn’t have high inflation ? Other countries mortgages also are high

[@Aerojet01]

I'm not a fan of Kwasi, he was stitched up and made a scapegoat by his own party. Also, the fact he wanted to cap the banker's bonusses didn't go down well. We live in a world where poor are getting poorer and rich are getting richer. These billionaires are not interested in lower taxes to help people struggling on lower incomes. I'm not a socialist, I believe in a free market, but people in positions of power are doing their best to sabotage this country.

[@Hugomad2]

There was inflation 1 year ago and still there is inflation today with it without kwasi or liz or boris! Therefore u would see an increase of ur mortgage anyways! It happened in every country around Europe… my brother lives in Portugal and his mortgage gone higher 330 euros as well

[@OliThaTwist]

I'm not usually the biggest fan of Piers but I have to give him some credit here for attempting to hold this clown to account. We need fundamental changes to the culture and structure of our political system to force our "representatives" to answer for their decisions.

How are you this brainwashed? They didn't even get to IMPLEMENT their plans. The institutions that opposed the measures are responsible for the massive financial shift, in league with the conservative party. They didn't want Truss, they wanted their man, their billionaire insider. And in the second round, Boris and Mordaunt had to PULL out, because the party knew that the MEMBERSHIP wouldn't have voted Sunak thing. They bypassed democracy internally.. the whole thing is a false flag shitshow.

For me this was a heavyweight bout of hypocrisy V’s hypocrisy! and hypocrisy won! Two individuals responsible for albeit different actions but both had consequences. Many in positions of power use words and rhetoric in an attempt to dodge the truth. We are surrounded by powerful people who continue to peddle a living at the expense of others whether it be financial or physiological. The entire interview was a game where pride and self importance appeared more important than the people who were directly affected. This has unfortunately become the norm in a world where the elite are paid huge sums of money but ruin lives along the way. I’m so ‘glad’ as Piers kept harping on about that Piers and Kwazi feel better about themselves but they both leave a trail of destruction behind them. In my opinion, a very poor display!
