UK Politics

During appearances at the Conservative Political Action Conference (Cpac), the former prime minister, who spent only seven weeks in power in 2022, appeared to be making the case for a comeback and relaunching her career in the UK.

She's not the smartest of people but even she knows there's no chance of a comeback. This is probably more relevant:

The Conservative MP, who is releasing a book called Ten Years to Save the West, argued that the left had infiltrated public and private institutions in “the deep state” and sabotaged her efforts to cut taxes and reduce the size of government.

She's hoping to flog a few books to gullible right wing loons looking to bolster their worldview and come up with some explanation for why her time in office was such a disaster that doesn't put the blame on her or her puppetmasters.

She’s still an MP right? What is she doing fucking about in America when she should be working for her constituency.

It does matter because a lot of Conservatives still believe in her. She pulls crowds at Conservative events. Regardless of her motives, the stuff she is peddling is destabilizing. She is feeding crazy. We don't need the crazy we have, let alone more.

I think provably lying to the public needs to be a form of crime. Or we will get more Brexit like events.

Any British politician who uses the phrase 'deep state" should be automatically stripped of any authority. It's a dumb phrase made up by the American right wing to mean things they don't like.

The left couldn't organize a grand conspiracy as they are far too busy having their own internal conflicts over pointless crap. I wish there was a conspiracy, at least that would be a sign of a robust opposition.

Seems like a right wing fantasy. A government silencing the political speech of a ex PM. Or for that matter any politician.

How ever much stupidity she may talk or act. You know for a fact the second a sitting government tries to silence her. The far right will have a point folks will listen to.

Claims that the left of fucking nutbag politics is about sensoring ideas they cannot fight against. Will fill the press. They are happy to spread lies we can address. Why the hell give them reality to help.

Let her talk. Who cares? Just paint her as a clown as she spews her nonsense. Sometimes it’s better to let people ramble instead of stopping them. When speech is prohibited they can speak about the restriction of their speech. When you let people ramble on they show themselves as the fools they are

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Rishi Sunak should take action against Liz Truss for appearing alongside the far-right commentator Steve Bannon and spreading conspiracy theories about the “deep state” ousting her from power, Labour has said.

Truss also appeared alongside Bannon, a former strategist to Donald Trump, on Real America’s Voice, a far-right TV channel, in a hallway outside the main conference auditorium.

The Conservative MP, who is releasing a book called Ten Years to Save the West, argued that the left had infiltrated public and private institutions in “the deep state” and sabotaged her efforts to cut taxes and reduce the size of government.

Truss was forced out of office by her own party after her chancellor presented a budget of £45bn in unfunded tax cuts, which unleashed economic chaos, sent interest rates soaring and caused people to pay more for their mortgages.

“After crashing the economy and sending mortgages rocketing, Liz Truss is now spreading conspiracy theories with Steve Bannon and spearheading a wacky fringe group to take over the Tory party again.

It represents another slap in the face to all those paying hundreds of pounds more a month on their mortgages due to her disastrous policies and should be stripped immediately.”
