The spirit of Liz Truss, ridiculous but relentless, stalks British politics | Rafael Behr
Briefly

Liz Truss, the former UK Prime Minister, recently spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference, claiming that globalists threaten Western civilization. She argues that British institutions are trapped by leftist ideologies that hinder genuine reform. Her speech echoed themes from her book, where she advocates for drastic change similar to Trump's approach. Despite her unsuccessful premiership, she remains a fixture in right-wing circles, promoting her views. Interestingly, while her speech received little attention in the UK, Russian state media took note, using her statements for propaganda purposes, revealing her narrative's broader implications.
"Last week, Truss was at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest, sharing the big lesson she learned in government."
"Truss believes these nefarious forces authored her downfall. They taught her that gradual reform is impossible. Only a Trump-style revolution will do."
