Failed former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss seems to have reached a new low?
After a brief and tumultuous time in office and a lettuce loss, Liz Truss has embarked on a speaking tour, drawing sharp criticism for remarks seen as denigrating Britain and aligning with controversial, quasi-fascist elements.
Her appearance at the CPAC event in Hungary, a nation where freedom of expression is notably constrained under Viktor Orbán’s government, has left people astounded.
The former leader of Britain continues to provoke debate and outrage, showcasing a path rarely taken by ex-Prime Ministers. This event further fuels the ongoing discussion about the state of conservatism and democratic values.
Liz Truss comment
Liz Truss wrote on X: “People used to flee Eastern Europe to Britain for freedom. Now in 2025, I went to @CPACHungary to talk about the free speech crisis in Britain.
“There is Soviet-esque political persecution of people like Peter Lynch and Lucy Connolly, while Labour lets thousands of violent offenders out of prison. British institutions have been captured by leftist ideology. They hate Western civilisation. They hate the family, they hate the nation, they hate free speech. … Underneath all this is a very powerful network, a globalist network, who are very well funded and well organised, and are pursuing their own ideology.
“The only hope is to take them on directly. … I know from experience that unless these people are taken on head-first, they won’t be defeated. It’s not enough to just win an election. … They have rigged the rules against us. We need independent media. We need the Joe Rogans and Ben Shapiros of the UK. We need a great restoration in Europe. We need to restore Christian values to our continent.
:We need to restore Parliamentary sovereignty. And we need to keep going to Make Europe Great Again.”
