Liz Truss faces the nation in farewell address after 50 days in power as Rishi Sunak becomes new PM

LIZ Truss has delivered her farewell speech to the nation as Prime Minister, vowing that "brighter days lie ahead".

The outgoing PM said that the UK "continues to battle through the storm", but she added: "I believe in Britain, I believe in the British people."

Ms Truss didn't apologise for her disastrous mini budget that sent mortgages soaring and the pound plummeting.

The outgoing PM chaired her last Cabinet this morning and will - just 50 days since entering No10.

Should be some form of criminal charge for the negative impact her decisions brought upon the nation, regardless of the timeline she did so within.

Well done Lizzy! You’ve the shortest tenure of any British PM in history, solely on your incompetence and arrogance to the logic of the wider global situation, and yet you still have the cheek to talk of strengthening the nations defences and economy. I feel so sorry for the embarrassment your husband and children shall have to deal with from your failure ship. I suggest you quietly mull off into the abyss to serve your constituency.

Ironic and poetic justice: Free markets defeat free markets champion.

[molsson.]

The amount of negative impacts she’s had on England and then now she is resigning acting like she helped as past priministers

"As the Roman Philosopher Ug-sen-uk-c-ka wrote..." 🤣🤡

[Stickleback]

she`s just another failure to me and i can`t see it stopping there!

Money available for Bankers and wars, while the people struggle to pay their bills.
We need a new system, this 2 party nonsense has went on long enough.

[wlee]

She hasn't learnt a thing after her fiasco at No10. Still thinking with her ego and doomed to failure because of it. She would make all the same mistakes if given the chance again.

The sooner the decision is made, the wiser🗽

[davidspencer]

No apologies whatsoever..despicable woman nearly crippled the nation

[hemmingway]

I guess she paid some one to stand out there and clap, or they were clapping because she's gone.

[tiapongen]

Liz Tuss : Putin must go.
Weeks later : I must go.

[alikhodajani]

Did you all hear that; she said, SHE LEADED THE NATION ?!

[feelincrispy]

Can anyone else hear the chaos going on in the background lol

[agripin]

I don’t understand, is it 20 thousand sanctions imposed on the UK? or to Russia? hahahaXD what stupid politicians

[markyork]

Quite incredible the level of delusion this woman shows. Her time as PM has been an absolute disaster - proven by the fact that she has had to resign (before being pushed) from the job in such a short period of time. And why she continues to look so smug in the face is again, incredible.

So, she wasn't the iron lady after all?

[jameswood]

WE ALL MUST FORCE A GENERAL ELECTION BY CALLING A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN YOUR LOCAL CONSERVATIVE MP.. DO IT.. WE MUST ACT AND END THE DIABOLICAL SITUATION WE'RE ALL STUCK IN..

[jonnysupreme]

Is she taking that £115, 000 a year ex PM's salary then I take it?

[dretety]

One must take a positive view, thank goodness our late Queen didn't have to see the unfolding utter mess the government under Truss caused the nation.
