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.

    A part of Trump’s politicking has been lying to the public. I’m not sure that you want to do that, whatever freedom it might provide as to policy enactment. I think that that’s pretty corrosive to government credibility. Hard to build credibility, easy to damage it, and it’s a useful thing to have.

      The tories have any credibility? The government have any credibility? Hell, politics in this country has any credibility? Catapult every MP into the Thames, then p[ave the Thames.

          Many of London’s other rivers are underground now, and we could make it a nice scenic walk, or fill it with flowers and make it a bee corridor
