Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss has sparked controversy following her appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in the United States, where she criticized President Joe Biden, transgender rights, and spoke of a leftwing deep state, stating 'We need a bigger bazooka' for Conservatives to deliver. Truss's comments, including a statement about the potential victory of a radical Islamic party in an upcoming byelection, have led to calls from the Labour Party for an investigation into her propagation of far-right conspiracy theories. Anneliese Dodds, Chair of the Labour Party, specifically urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to consider removing the whip from Truss. Additionally, Truss's interactions with far-right commentator Steve Bannon, where she discussed restructuring the Conservative Party with the help of Nigel Farage and made appearances that drew criticism for engaging with figures known for racist and white supremacist views, have raised further concerns. Sunak's spokesperson responded to inquiries about Truss's claims by stating that experiencing a deep state has not been the Prime Minister's experience.

Something that's been largely missed: Liz Truss also asked Steve Bannon if he could "work with Nigel Farage to restructure the Tory party". That's quite a statement for a former Conservative PM.
