Liz Truss, during her visit near Washington, claimed that her leadership was undermined by transgender activists within the civil service. She alleged the presence of 'trans activists' and 'environmental extremists' staffing the civil service. In a separate statement to a shocked Steve Bannon, Truss suggested that an 'Islamic Party' may win the Rochdale by-election. She did not contradict Bannon's description of Tommy Robinson as a 'hero'. These remarks have sparked controversy, with critics accusing Truss and other Conservative figures of spreading conspiracy theories with right-wing extremists and unabashed Islamophobia. Suella Braverman's comments about Islamists controlling the country and Lee Anderson's claim about their influence in London have further fueled the debate.
Liz Truss says the civil service is full of trans activists and the ‘Deep State’ brought her down. Suella Braverman says Islamists are in charge of the country. Lee Anderson says they’re not, but they do control London.
Liz Truss spreading conspiracy theories with right-wing extremists. Suella Braverman trying to whip up hate in the press. And this unabashed Islamophobia. @RishiSunak get your party in order. https://t.co/nMETrldQcH
Truss says she is "telling people the truth about what is happening in Britain" on Steve Bannon's show - where she just says "that is correct" to his depiction of Rochdale including "heroes like Tommy Robinson" & Galloway https://t.co/ulPH43I7YF
Steve Bannon has now heard of the Rochdale by-election. Liz Truss has told him that a Radical Jihadist party will win it. Bannon calls Tommy Robinson "a hero" which Truss does not seek to interject, beyond "that is correct" to his overall description of the situation. https://t.co/2v6UvYSSv4

Liz Truss tells a shocked Steve Bannon an Islamic Party may win in Rochdale: "The place with the rape situation?" "Tommy Robinson and all these heroes fought it. In that community you may have a radical jihadist party send somebody to Commons?" "That is correct" https://t.co/ZwbXeb3PYX
