Iain Duncan Smith said countries that “talk about our problems” are facing crises of their own. The comments followed Laura Kuensberg’s claim that the world was “laughing at us” following the furor over Liz Truss’ tenure. The BBC political presenter showed a clip of TV presenters around the world discussing Ms Truss’s resignation and the political crisis gripping Britain and Conservative Party.
A montage of clips showed the situation in the UK being discussed and mocked by TV presenters in the US, Germany, France and Italy, among others.

“Ian Duncan Smith, I don’t want to make this easy, but can you believe what you’ve seen at the party for the past seven days?”
A senior Tory MP admitted the Tories had “gone in on themselves and that’s always a mistake”.

“Italy and Sweden Go Populist”.
