The UK’s shortest-serving PM, who is still entitled to claim up to £115,000-a-year for the rest of her life, spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland, USA.
Liz Truss said: "Conservatives are now operating in what is now a hostile environment and we essentially need a bigger bazooka."
James O’Brien and callers react to this, discussing whether Truss is too dangerous to ignore.
07:29- Caller Phil thinks her behaviour is ‘disgusting and grotesque’
08:30 - Caller Rob believes ‘Margaret Thatcher’ was ‘more intelligent’ than Liz Truss

The only reason Liz Truss is joining the crackpot right is because they are the only people left who will take her seriously. Which says a lot about the crackpot right. Hopefully her constituency wakes itself up and doesn't vote her back in. She's gone fully mad.

@redf7209 7 месяцев назад

The Tories live in a world where they are being advised all the time by political consultants who are connected with and run from the states where winning at all costs is more important than the country or what you will do. They are essentially becoming a wing of the republican party but some of these consultants have strong links with the CIA that fosters control, coercion and influence over foreign governments as a norm. Tories really depend on these consultants because they are too dim or lazy to think for themselves. Its a bubble they live in where they are brainwashed even if they don't actually get or take the specific advice. It is how she had the links and contacts to get into this speaking circuit in the US. Unfortunately Starmer is turning to the same people as advisors.

She says “the right policies” when she tried a large unfunded tax cut in the midst of a bout of high inflation and an over-leveraged government finance position.
