'This is difficult', PM admits after sacking Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng

The Prime Minister says she's "incredibly sorry to lose" Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor but she had to act "decisively" in the best interests of the country.

Liz Truss also confirmed the government would raise corporation tax next April to 25% from 19%, despite pledging not to do so in the mini-budget.

She literally sacrificed Kwasi so the British population think that it was Kwasi who messed up and not Liz herself.

[uudd]

Threw her friend and political ally under the bus for a plan she signed-off on, to save her job.Not once has she apologized or taken accountability for the mess she made.This person has no integrity

[gavinturner]

Kwasi would never have put out the MEGA budget without the backing of Truss. Truss has to go!!!

[peakyblunder]

She picked Kwasi for the job, the responsibility is hers . Ambition without ability is killing the Tories but they're dragging us all down with them .

[Jut_tc]

We need a general election ASAP. Sick and tired of the Tories

[Doggidog]

Is it just me or did she basically just give the same answer for every question?

[Ianace]

How disgusting of her to make him a scapegoat for her inept leadership I believe she has just sealed her own fate

[kanedNunable]

"we have been in power 12 years but only we can fix the mess we caused"

[Alcaza]

Threw Kwasi under the bus, absolutely shocking, she has no credibility now, and having Hunt as chancellor is another stupid move

Dressed in black for the funeral of what was her career

[llynellyn]

Truss: Here's my plan put it into action.
Kwasi: Okay.
Truss: They hate *your* plan, resign.
Kwasi: Okay.

She has all the personality of a robot or a Dalek, and she gives the same mechanical answer to virtually every question.

[icosiel]

As a wise man once said, "oh dear, oh dear".

[musaxcoco]

Good to see we're so tolerant as a nation that even a person with special needs can become PM.

[spartybrearly]

If Liz Truss is so enthusiastic about Jeremy Hunt why didn’t she appoint him Chancellor in the first place?🤔

[visser]

It's like listening to a broken record on the wrong speed

[warseeker]

"Promise everything, deliver nothing"

[coderpup]

"parts of the budget went further and faster than markets were expecting" Is she really saying that it all went wrong because their budget was just too good???

[VictoryRRR]

I guess we'll be seeing King Charles give his first PM his blessing sooner than later.

She’s about as effective as a chocolate fireguard…this could be a record with regards to the quickest in/out prime minister In recorded history! And I’m here for it 🎉
