Liz Truss

Hi, great to be on, Glenn.

It's getting worse.

I mean, if you look at the state of our public finances, our debt, the bond markets, we're approaching a financial crisis.

If you look at illegal immigration, we have a crisis there.

If you look at all the issues that have been brushed under the carpet, the grooming gangs that haven't been dealt with, the crime that we're seeing in our cities, and the general decay and stagnation in this country, we are very, very close to the edge.

We are in a huge bubble here in London.

And the people that benefit from the system, the government is spending half of our national income.

So if you're a bureaucrat, if you're in the media that's also supported by the state, like the BBC, if you're in a bank that has been bailed out by the government, you're doing okay.

And the waves that are lapping up have not hit you yet.

But if you go to a northern town where you've lost the steel plant, you've lost...

the car plant because of our crazy energy policies.

Our energy prices are four times what they are in the US.

Or your daughter has been raped by a Pakistani Muslim grooming gang and the police have done nothing about it because they don't want to be seen as racist.

If you are somewhere like that, you are very, very angry about what's happened in our country.

And just to give you a comparison, Glenn, in the year 2000, the average Brit was about as well off as the average American.

We are now you are now 50 percent richer in terms of income per capita.

And we are poorer than Mississippi.

You know, we're poorest.

We're poorest.

Yeah.
