Former Conservative PM, whose tenure lasted 50 days, tells CPAC she fell victim to UK’s ‘establishment … its bureaucrats and lawyers’

So rather than admit she fucked up she's doubling down on the batshittery. What a sad little woman.

And she's trying to burn us all in revenge.

When you fundamentally can't admit a truth because it destroys your entire world view, you end up going down conspiracy rabbit holes in order to avoid it.

Better not say her name too many times, it might summon her.

I've heard that if you close your eyes, hold out a £5 note and say her name three times it turns into a Zimbabwean dollar.

It wasn't really a fair match up. She should instead of gone up against the traditional tub of lard.

Just when you think they couldn't be even more insane dangerous. Thinking about it both are true.

That's weird because as I recall it, what happened is that her administration proposed an economic plan which caused a brief economic crisis because I guess they thought they knew more than actual economists - sort of like 5 year olds that think they know more than their parents.

"The deep state." I guess, if by that you actually mean "the free market"...

The irony being that she's a free-market cultist of the highest order...

At this point it's malice or incompetence.

I guess she knows no one intelligent is going to take her seriously from now on, unless she can get this new reality realised

Her original economic plan was actually quite sane, but then the deep state replaced it with this one. They also replace all media appearances of her with one enacted by a chicken in an unconvincing human costume.

She’s so dim. I feel like we’re getting to the point of needingmandatory competency tests for ministers

I think everyone loses with Liz Truss. I can hardly believe that the American far right really are gaining anything by her speaking there. I almost feel sorry for them.

The "UK Deep State", according to Elizabeth Truss:

  • The Bank of England
  • The free market
  • Her own party
  • The Financial Conduct Authority
  • A lettuce

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Other speakers included Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist associated with global far-right nationalist movements, and Richard Grenell, a former acting director of national intelligence under Trump.

She continued: “What has happened in Britain over the past 30 years is power that used to be in the hands of politicians has been moved to quangos and bureaucrats and lawyers so what you find is a democratically elected government actually unable to enact policies.”

Bannon, a former executive chairman of Breitbart News, which he once described as “the platform of the ‘alt-right’”, a movement that has embraced racism and antisemitism, added: “If we want to save our country, we have to take down the administrative state.

The inaugural international summit was billed by CPAC as a chance to “bring together people from several continents around the world to share best practices and concrete solutions on how to fight the globalist takeover of sovereign nations”.

This year’s lineup of speakers on the main CPAC stage include Trump, Truss, Farage and Argentinian president Javier Milei, a libertarian known to fans as “the madman” and “the wig”.

An advert for Truss’s book, Ten Years to Save the West, was prominently displayed at the CPAC venue, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, along with a volume by Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host who recently conducted a fawning interview with Russia autocrat Vladimir Putin.
