Her telling the United States that her premiership was ended by trans activists just shows how little regard is given to the truth these days in the pursuit of power.

How does she still have the Tory party whip? If sunak had a moral compass and any strength, he would kick her out..

Sorry James. Endured 4 mins of her speaking and decided that was 3 mins too long. At 76 I need to prioritise the remaining time in my life and listening to more Truss is not on my bucket list.

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.

She would attend the opening of an envelope if it got her press coverage.

Her lack of insight into the limitations of her abilities is astounding.

The caller is right, this isn’t politics anymore, it’s just grifting

It's called fascism let's not beat around the bush

The damage the Tories have done to the UK is so catastrophic that I don't think the country will ever recover?

How the f*** did she ever get to be our Prime Minister.

The rhetoric Liz Truss uses in this speech should worry everyone in the UK.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

Surely overseas trips should only be undertaken if you’re on Government business. How is this serving her constituents? Who paid for this trip? Should she not be in Parliament doing what she is paid for?

This is terrifying

As an American, these people are so dangerous. I am terrified.

Truss must be locked up in a very secure asylum.

Mad as a box of frogs.

I hope that now she's showing her true colours the people of South West Norfolk will vote her out

She seems to have developed a weird combination of madness and confidence all at once.

The Lettuce only cost the UK £30,000,000,000 in the short term she was in. That "thing" needs to stay in the USA. Maybe she could be Trump's personal maid!

Shameless Truss talking gibberish....

I wouldn't trust this woman to sit the right way on the toilet.

That photo of Truss and Farage sitting together told me all I needed to know.

“As conservatives, we’ve got to be prepared to tear down the system.” That sounds wrong somehow.

It takes a remarkable human being to stand in front of a group of Trump supporters and complain about the left "not accepting that they lost at the ballot box" and keep a straight face. Unbelievable to think that people like Michael Heseltine and Ken Clarke never became PM and yet this woman did.

COMPLETELY UNHINGED and still being given a platform.

James, thank you for your comments. I’m nearly 70 and I’ve never been so scared about the future of our country or the world. And I’m somebody who is very positive, “always look on the bright side of life“ but it is very scary now.

She is an elected and duly paid representative of the UK - there must be consequences for her misrepresentations and explicit support of something to the right of fascism.

Just read that truss is getting £115,000 per year for the rest of her life from the British taxpayer. That's 3.6 million of she lives until she's 80. 61,000 quid for each day she was a PM! What a sad indictment

I thought Britain had reached as far down as it could go when BJ was made PM. Then along came Liz Truss. It's extraordinary. Can it dip even further! Why not I've lost faith.

UK, you have a huge problem with that lady! She's just as dangerous as Donald Trump!! Very troubling.

Every time somone says woke my brain mutes that persons voice, and I don’t hear a single word they say.

"...marriage of enormous ambition and tiny intelligence": thank you, James, on the basis that plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, I am going to steal that line.

She says ten years ago we wouldnt have guessed that trans issues would be discussed but I remember it being discussed thirty years ago. It just wasnt a culture war thing.

She reveals herself as the most extreme right winger I've heard since Oswald Mosely !

You had Boris, whilst the USA had mad Trump,we in Australia had the smirking scomo Morrison.A trifecta of sleeze and stupidity.

Spot on. This was another outrage where Truss is clearly supporting the undermining of democracy and the media isn't condemning it. What a disgrace.

My first reaction was to deride Truss as bonkers, mad and delusional. However, after fully watching this video, my reaction is more of that this is absolutely frightening and if we don't seriously do something about legally and democratically curtailing these dangerous lunatics, we are heading towards a very dark future.

Truss and Anderson are an absolute disgrace. They must have the Tory whip removed. Truss's father must be thoroughly ashamed of her.

Imagine an American Senator or Congress person coming to a similar rally in the UK & openly slagging the sitting PM. Liz Truss a galaxy sized conceit & ambition supported by a Proton sized ability & intellect.

first UK jouranlist to talk about this madness, thank you James.

And she used to be a Lib Dem ! Like goebbels starting his polical career in greenpeace.

Truss is responsible for making mortgages rise out of control. She's absolutely barmy. Lock her up!!

She is fishing for employment in the US.

When Liz Truss became PM she was like a little girl who had just been given a pony by her rich parents, she couldn't believe her luck that she was awarded such a thing. Problem is, a month later, the pony is dead and Liz's parents are asking her ''You were giving your pony food and water weren't you?'' and Liz just looks at them blankly and says, ''I thought the boy next door, Kwasi, was doing that?''

As shes still a member of parliament... OMG !

She wanted to be a Thatcher tribute act, she ended up as an Anne Widdicombe tribute act. How in holyhell did she become PM of the UK ? ... oh yes, I remember ... Boris F'inf Blobson ...

How dare you insult a woman who dedicated nearly 30 days of her life to leading this country through thick and thin

I find it hard to laugh because its really really dangerous what is going on

She's a sitting MP. Why has she been allowed to go there?

I went to see Bernie Sanders in Liverpool on Tuesday night and he was very fearful of Trump getting into power and the threat that he and the far right would would have on democracy in the USA and around the world. So hearing what that guy said about democracy brings it home even more

Please, please, please America keep Liz Truss... We don't want her back......

A “hostile environment”? You mean “the electorate”. We. Do. Not. Want. You.

The values of fking over the poor and unregulated grifting . A villain pure and simple

To quote Frankie Boyle liz truss seems like a person who would die from forgetting how to breathe

That’s one helluva’ mug…. (and the coffee one’s pretty big too…😂) Truss is a nutcase…. completely unhinged..

Truss has 2 young daughters (afaik) - who knows what sort of psychological damage this loon has already done to them?

Did Truss really read for a degree at Oxford_ Or win it in a lucky dip_

The notion that right wing conservatists are positioning themselves as being somehow anti establishment is baffling. That gullible fools actually believe it blows my mind.

I didn't realise this until now, but Cameron chose Truss for MP in her constituency. So it's his fault we got this nut firstly as PM who damaged our economy & is now roaming the world spouting craziness.

Best part of this video was seeing James' mug. I want one like that. I wont need to make tea every 30 mins with that!!

It's dystopian AF.....

Two clauses of the Magna Carta, “No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled or ruined in any way, nor in any way proceeded against, except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land. “To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice.” Like asylum seakers?

I have no idea what any of her gibberish was supposed to mean.

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. Her policies weren’t shut down by politics, they were crushed by apolitical international investors who saw irresponsible dangerous policy and had to protect their capital. It’s absurd.

What really surprise me is how a political former leader can be in such an event and saying the leader of an other country should be removed (Biden) and supporting the end of democracy without any consequence at all!!!!!????? What does that say about British media that they are quiet on those matters!!!!!!???? Kind regards the Danish Viking

Years ago she would be on the way to Rainhill, Winwick or Whittingham after saying such delusional nonsense.

Read the book. They have broken Britain and are revelling in it.

Absolute proof that care in the community does not work.

My first thought listening to Liz Truss quotes; "that is actual facism. She is campaigning for a global despot."

I agree, greed is the bottom line. Liz Truss doesn't really believe what she's saying, she says it for the money

That mug is like a bucket! I want one! PS Truss is checking off the buzz words like a 13 year old at a gaming conference. She'ssaying what she knows will get her approval from that audience, rather than trying to make sense or convey any sincerely held beliefs.

There will always be grifters in every society. It is not the role of civil society to sit and bemoan the moral fibre of these grifters, it is the role of civil society to put in place structures, rules and standards that prevent these grifters from gaining power.

She is a desperate and unhinged , just utterly bizarre

She has to be put in prison. Get her in a prison: enough of this garbage.

How does she want to end the gender debate if not by ending free speech? Is there any other way?

She’s perfect to speak at CPAC because it’s gibberish and she is a “victim.” 🙄 Don’t send her to the US. We have enough lunacy of our own.

Was that a former Head of State speaking or a Head of Lettuce? I honestly could not tell the difference.

‘Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.’

I have not read your book James, but I have read Plato's middle dialog, better known as 'The Republic'. In it Plato outlines five regimes of government, and the order in which he considers they will occur. To be brief, the 4th form of government, following the decay of the first three, is Democracy - The rule of the many. In Plato's view this will only last as long as it takes for a small group, probably led by a single powerful figure, to be elected, and then change the rules to create the 5th form of government, Tyranny - The rule of ONE: Dictator for a day? Have we arrive at a Platonic tipping point? Some might suggest that such a transformational strategy has already been trialled in 1933. That change of government in Germany led onto creeping military incursions into other counties, something we are witnessing today. History cannot repeat itself, in virtue of being in the past, but the same flawed human psychology can lead to very similar ends.

Not just a former PM but one being paid by the public £86,000 a year as an MP and about £115,000 a year for the rest of her life.

She really is just time frozen at the mental and emotional age of a 19 year old student union level politician.

Her modesty has no beginning.

What would really please me if Truss got a new position looking after Harry and Markle's finances. That would be an utter Joy.

How dare she speak for the British public. She most definitely doesn't speak for me.

CPAC has always been a freak show. It's gotten worse the last few years. Those people are nuts.

Oil and Gas. Big Energy. Corporate Dominance. Only they don’t talk about it directly. Euphemisms. And red meat, emotional , socially divisive talking points.

She’s playing “grifter” , clear as day!

Girl gone Full Katie Hopkins, man. Never go full Katie Hopkins. (Apologies to Tropic Thunder).

If you want to imagine what the world would look like if people like her ran the world I suggest watching "The Man In The High Castle".

I have to question the intelligence of anyone who uses the word "woke" or any or its portmanteau offspring such a "wokenomics" (as Truss does in this viseo). One of my favourite wind-ups is to ask what it means when I hear someone using it, I have yet to receive a more informative reply than "well, it's just woke!!".

I dont think she even believes what she said in her speech. I think she was just trying to say what she thought that audience wanted to hear

Is 'wokenomics' worse than Kwarteng and Truss' mini budget?

Remember, she's on an allowance, as a former prime minister, of £115,000 a year. Chew on that for a moment.

Totally inappropriate for an ex-PM. The word impeahment comes to mind. What is our equivalent?

I'm afraid these days people can see for themselves what is happening and don't rely on so called biased news or broadcasters such as this !

This is the prequel to The Handmaids Tale

what exactly is a conservative who whishes to "bring down the system" trying to conserve?

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

That's literally the opposite of what conservativism is
