'Why is she still here?': Liz Truss and Keir Starmer's fiery exchange at PMQs

The prime minister, Liz Truss, and the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, went head-to-head in Wednesday's PMQ's with a number of fiery exchanges.

Starmer gave a list of the government's recent U-turns after the former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget. 'Why is she still here?' he asked. The prime minister responded: 'I'm not a quitter, I'm a fighter'.

PMQs verdict: combative performance keeps Liz Truss safe – for a few hours ►

[amaldrew]

Here in 2024, Keir Starmer is PM and Lizz Truss lost her seat 😂

"I'm a fighter, not a quitter"😂 24hours later... That aged like milk

[-JLC]

"She's asking us questions because we're a government in waiting, and they're an opposition in waiting!"

Aged phenomenally

[bigblue]

Update. She is no longer PM. She is no longer an MP. Time heals all things.

[markhumble]

I believe she is the best prime minster we have ever had because she managed to bury the queen, the pound, the tory party, one chancellor and the UK government in less than 1 month.

I laughed until I realized it's a government not a circus

[farr]

Starmers opening line is one of the funniest political
Roasts I’ve ever heard..and I’m American..

[auberginereverie]

"Why is she still here?" quote aged more than just a lettuce

[bentimothy]

October 19th: I am a fighter, not a quitter October 20th: I’m resigning

As an American, I can say that this was highly entertaining! So much better than watching my own members of Congress drone on and on and on in front of a mostly empty assembly hall.

I like how Mr. Speaker is just a guy who people reference to but never talk to all the while Mr. Speaker is just chilling in his seat

[MrTmohan]

" I am a fighter. not a quitter" famous last words

[legacyofpop]

When Ms. Truss said "We're on the side of working people" I swear to God...I almost puked. Tory policy has hammered me time and time again. I am so sick of ALL of you...Modern politics is a criminal hot-bed of corruption. When it gets colder...you will get your come-uppance.

Starmer: “what does she think they’re going to say? Oh I don’t mind financial ruin, at least she apologised” 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂

[giselaswaragita]

I don't understand a thing but watching people in smart suits calling each other "the honorable gentleman" in a heated argument is highly entertaining (I'm not British).

[shawing]

Love how she doesn't mention "I also fired a guy as a fall guy for my awful policy" 🤣

[WHR]

As an American this is so entertaining to watch. I wish our Senate was this fun.

I love how "out by chrismas" is a gross overestimation
