‘She still carries an aura of spectacular failure’: why hasn’t Liz Truss gone away?
‘She still carries an aura of spectacular failure’: why hasn’t Liz Truss gone away?
Her 49 days in power ended in catastrophe, yet the shortest serving prime minister in British history is back, launching a new conservative movement with global ambitions. You just can’t keep a bad politician down …
You're viewing a single thread.
Because she is obedient to power. She’s a trusted water carrier for the billionaire class. That’s her job.
Same way Farage is always in America. He’s paid to divide and distract the people, while the billionaires did a smash and grab on Britain, splitting it from a EU which is growing in power and influence on the world stage.
Mostly American old money, from the Kochs, The Mercer’s et al (there are a dozen or more) . They fund neoliberal conservative programs across the world, to advance their interests - such a favourable tax regimes , access to natural resources, keeping a lid on workers rights, small neutered governments - and defending themselves from democracy.
The same people that Trump answers to.
Theres plenty of money available for people willing to do that. Look at Lee Anderson. Thick as pig shit, used to be Labour - the he start attacking working people and abracadabra he’s chairman of the tories . Where’s his money come from ? The Carlton Club. 100 grad. GB News , 100 grand . The list goes on.
The main reason GB news exists is to funnel clean money to these gobshites.
None of this controversial - it’s all well documented.

The main reason the Tory party exists is to funnel money to politicians. Donate to a politician on the party payrole, have some favourable law written for you, then that politician gets a nice bonus at the end of the year.
The problem for Truss is that she is too incompetent to even be employed here. From the article regarding her attempts to be embraced by CPAC...
She may also have misjudged the sympathies of her audience. Though touting herself as an outsider who spoke truth to unaccountable power and paid the price, her critics on the far right point out that she is also the ultimate insider, whose route to the top involved a series of ministerial roles in the Cameron, May and Johnson administrations, including as minister for women and equalities, where she championed LGBTQ+ rights. She opposed Brexit in 2016. She was once a Liberal Democrat. Raheem Kassam, former UK editor of Breitbart news and a one-time Ukip policy adviser, now based in the US, called Truss’s appearance at CPAC “one of the most transparent and pathetic grifts going”. Jack Montgomery, writing in the National Pulse, noted that as foreign secretary Truss had made it clear there could be no deals and no compromise with Putin over the invasion of Ukraine. That, for many in the Maga movement, is the equivalent of being a signed-up member of the Joe Biden/CIA/Nato conspiracy. “So no,” Montgomery wrote, “Liz Truss wasn’t ousted by the deep state. Liz Truss is the deep state.” If there is a global reset coming in Washington, Truss seems unlikely to be a part of it.
Yeah that’s quite funny.
I would be tempted to read that as an admonition for failing them when she held office and recognition she is not very useful now.
I say that because the people that wrote this well know that 90% of the “maga movement” is a grift, entirely transparent to anyone capable of critical thought.
