Liz Truss has called for a “Trump revolution” in Britain after claiming she was sabotaged during her tenure
The UK can only be saved by a movement similar to US President Donald Trump’s MAGA, former British Prime Minister Liz Truss has claimed, calling for a Musk-style review of the British ‘deep state’.
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington on Wednesday, she claimed that unelected bureaucrats sabotaged her government and continue to block reforms and ignore voter demands.
Truss, who served as prime minister for just 49 days in 2022, has argued that Britain’s establishment prevented her from implementing economic changes despite public support. “The same people are still making the decisions. It’s the deep state, it’s the unelected bureaucrats, it’s the judiciary,” she said.
The former prime minister went on to praise Trump’s efforts to reshape the US government, claiming that the British people want to see similar reforms. “We want ‘drill, baby, drill’. We want men banned from women’s bathrooms and women’s sports. We want illegal immigrants deported.”
“We want a Trump revolution in Britain,” she concluded, also pointing to Elon Musk, who has been working with the US government to audit and streamline federal spending. “We want to flood the zone. We want Elon and his nerd-army of Muskrats examining the British deep state!”
Truss served as UK prime minister from September 6 to October 25, 2022, the shortest tenure in British history. Her government proposed a mini-budget which triggered market turmoil, a sharp drop in the pound, and investor panic, leading to internal rebellion within her party and prompting her to resign after just seven weeks in office.
Following his inauguration last month, Trump has been actively pursuing efforts to reduce federal spending through his newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). On Wednesday, he announced that he is considering giving 20% of the savings identified by the department back to US taxpayers in the form of “DOGE dividends,” which could amount to around $5,000 per household.
