Gilts (note the spelling) haven't dropped by anything like what they did for Truss and are actually on the rise again now after yesterday's rate cut and paring of US rates. Reeves consulted with concerned parties and heeded advice prior to the budget, Truss ignored advice and threw away fiscal rules. Additional UK government spending plans will put upward pressure on inflation, similarly Trump's tarrifs and tax cuts will do the same in the US so this has created an expectation of less aggressive rate cuts and consequently bond yields have increased. This is all a far cry from Truss's irresponsibly riding rough shod over the markets and central banks.
The guy in your video admits he knows nothing about finance, it's quite plain that he is suffering with confirmation bias, fumbling around for anything that might seem to support his pre-existing, ill-informed views, as are you.
