Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has sparked controversy with her recent comments at a right-wing conference in the United States, where she blamed her short 49-day tenure as prime minister on what she described as the 'deep state' and left-wing forces within the British civil service. Truss claimed that her leadership was sabotaged by 'agents' of the left, including financial speculators and civil servants aligned with trans activists and environmental extremists. She criticized the current global leadership, including President Joe Biden, whom she accused of being 'asleep at the wheel' and contributing to the West's vulnerabilities. Truss's speech, delivered at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) alongside figures like Donald Trump, also included calls for a Republican return to the White House and criticisms of the media, which she labeled as 'friends of the deep state.' Her remarks have been met with skepticism and criticism from various quarters, with some commentators dismissing her claims as baseless and indicative of her refusal to acknowledge the flaws in her economic policies that led to market instability during her premiership. Matt Schlapp, CPAC’s chairman, confirmed Truss's attendance, which was marked by her addressing a half-empty room.

Shameless Truss embraces the unelected “deep state” conspiracy of Trump and fascist Bannon. Presents herself as a “victim” ( fashionably woke!) though she owed her brief PM to unelected Tory activists & her sack to free market bond flight https://t.co/JZUNvp3KWw
I’m assuming this is a deepfake - clearly the bond markets had more to do with the catastrophic expensive Liz Truss premiership disaster & everyone is paying the price #TrussMinibudgetChaos https://t.co/Ga5n5roemC
