  1. IF I WAS HER, I WOULD, TAX THE ,MILLIONAIRE'S/AND BILLIONAIRE , THERE ARE MORE OF THEM, TODAY ,THEN THERE ARE HARD WORKING, MAN / WOMEN , THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TRYING TO LIVE A PROPER LIFE, IT WOULD HELP IN SO MANY WAYS , JUST ONE MILLION, OF EACH, FROM BILLIONAIRE'S, AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FROM MILLIONAIRE'S, AND THEN PAY NO TAX. BUT AT THE MOMENT, PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE OF "TAX"

  2. Bold? That's a convenient word for stupidity. The reason we are suffering the inflation is the fact that there are too much money out there. And we have learned the trickle down theory never works over the last 30 years in US. When you give the rich a tax break, it won't lead to spending or investing. The investors invest to make money. So do the rich. And most rich people are not stupid enough just to invest to lose money. On the note, the corporations don't invest to increase production just because of the tax break. However because the supply is short, the corporation may use that money to increase production. So one point for Truss.

    UK needs more supply right now more than ever. It is the scarcity that is running the cost higher. Ask the oil companies to start drilling in US and to start recommissioning the oil refineries that British Petroleum shut down during the Covid. You should have done those things already by the last February when Russia invaded Ukraine.

  3. Conservatives >>>>>>> progressive fascism and climate change zealots

  4. I wish Liz Truss was POTUS. The British at least still have some common sense, unlike the fools in America who voted for corrupt Dementia Joe Biden.

  5. truss another pig with her snout in the trough…privileges galore for MPs we are paying their utility bills on their second homes. So I am sure they will be living a lot in their second homes this winter. Beautiful restaurant in parliament fish and chips £6.41 cooked to the highest standard and claimed on expenses so they dont actually pay for it YOU do…What a disgusting corrupt system…i voted to leave the eu i would also like to vote to leave the british government as we dont need them…All they will do is work out ways to take things away form us with new taxes and bigger inheritance taxes. We spend so much time trying to protect ourselves from the government…why is that its because they are there for them and not us…as george carlin said, its a big club and we are not in it

  6. Not my prime minister she’s another thatcher sooner Scotland gets independence the better because this witch is anti Scottish and homophobic

  7. Come on them Liz, surprise me. I dont have much hope as you are a World Economic Forum member & a cabinet minister during what caused all this.
    Remember the majority of this WAS caused by the government.
    NET ZERO targets, but nothing done to keep people warm & fed , its like those targets are more important than peoples lives.
    Printing £300 billion , to let people stay at home and not work for a year, knowingly creating hyperinflation.
    Allowing energy companies to charge what they like with effectively no price cap (& if the energy market WAS competetive, it wouldnt need a price cap, thats an admission of an oligopoly).
    perhaps because the Gov get 5% VAT on whatever they charge.
    People need to wake up & start making their voice heard instead of grumbling on forums. grow some.

    For a start, remove the VAT from fuel bills instantly. its a drop in the ocean, but buys you a little time & favour.

  8. I think a lot of us will be joining the tramps in our local libraries this winter, trying to keep warm.

  9. Last 300 years atacked UK and US propoganda.

  10. Wow, her dress matches the chair. This woman has style if nothing else.

  11. Slash the Welfare State to the bone. Yahhhhhhhh

  12. selected not elected. WEF apparatchiks everywhere

  13. Deliver, deliver, deliver ? On past Tory form, has it not always been DITHER ….. DITHER ….. DITHER ?

  14. What a "beautiful" English woman…🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  15. Hilarious another s-elected WEF puppet PM replaced the last WEF puppet PM and people actually expect change? No expect the next part of the plan. And what’s worse we still have no idea exactly what the real outcome of the global coordinated mass vax is yet.

  16. Another WEF muppet. Congrats.
    You'll still own nothing and be happy. Or else.
    The plan hasn't changed a single iota. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  17. What a tragedy for the British.

  18. Another woke disaster

  19. the South Korea Executing cunning of the game is military protection relying on the United States , whereas the economy develops together with the enemy of the United States. treat American like a stupid, From the reception of the same level politicians from the United States and China to visit South Korea, it can be found that Koreans treat Americans with such contempt and arrogance, it’s happened to the incompetent of America’s ruling party makes Americans being down look by others.

  20. well that sounds credible

  21. And now brexit will crush you. LoL, you can't stop what you all stared.

  22. 7 of the top 10 states with highest GDP are the Democrat-led states of California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New Jersey and Washington. 11 of the top 12 states with the highest poverty rate are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas.

  23. Will see how fast UK hit 20% inflation and dump her so called 'value' into toilet.

  24. We will do liver do liver do liver ? I’m a vegan

  25. Boris johnson gave her the 11% inflation and the war machine to fix to the tattered UK reality.

  26. Enjoy your inflation and recession Brits.
    You've voted for it.

  27. 🇺🇸Vote Republican 22🇺🇸
    Democrats are destroying America.

  28. ANOTHER racist colonizing thief. 🙄

  29. Same CONs cut top % taxes. BrExit fears & intolerance 2 migrants. Stiff speaker.

  30. So a new prime minister is in charge in the good old UK/England now.🇬🇧

  31. Shame on you NBC for not showing President Biden’s Address to the Nation speech on tv. Your oligarch owners which are foreign owned also are traitors to the United States. You show more of fascist Trump. Your loyalty is with fascism.

  32. She’d be smart to make an energy contract with Texas, ND, Alaska, Oklahoma, etc.. And their governors flip the bird at Jomentia and his Marxist puppeteers, since they do the same when it comes to their federal responsibilities like protecting the border.. Two can play at this game.

  33. Congratulations to the new “Leader of the free world”… (since USA punted that distinction to any who want it)

  34. It is so refreshing to see a country that actually loves and respect their women enough to have a woman lead them.
