Summary
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss said at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that Britain is “failing” and called for a UK version of Trump’s “MAGA” movement to push change.
Truss, who was prime minister for only 49 days and lost her seat in last year’s election, has become a marginal figure in British politics but found support at CPAC, which now embraces Trump-style populism.
The conference featured right-wing figures from Hungary, Brazil, and the U.S., including Steve Bannon, who promoted deep state conspiracy theories.
CPAC leaders condemned globalist organizations like the UN and EU, vowing support for Trump’s return.
Dude, fuck her. I admit that back when I first moved and UK politics were still rather new to me I couldn’t wrap my mind around what she did that was horrible enough to warrant a boot in 40 DAYS. Although I’ve heard one or two stories since about people losing all their savings that made it make slightly more sense, she always read as just pretty foolish and incompetent to me.
Pushing for MAGA bs in the UK (the most redundant thing I’ve ever heard) completely upends that assessment of her into being every bit as evil as the American ones. Tory scumbag.
It wasn’t quite so much what she did as the way it was done.
The spending plan looked bad and lack of confidence in it caused a technical issue where pension funds had to make it worse to protect themselves from the consequences, which made it even worse and they had to protect themselves from bigger consequences. But this is boring and not why she had to go imho.
The real problem and cause of the whole lack of confidence was that she got rid of senior people and refused to talk to independent government orgs who are there to check the plan isn’t shit.
She removed all the arse covering checks the British government has for budgets thinking she knew better, and as is clear with every mad interview she knows nothing.
Its very likely that she full believes it, she is that dumb and because her reality fell apart when her economic changes failed so quickly and spectacularly, she has retreated into the full deep state conspiracy bubble.
