Truss, the shortest-serving high minister in British historical past, stated international leaders are green with envy of Trump’s 2d time period and his Area of Govt Potency. 

“There’s a lot of momentum, and people are very envious of what’s happening in the U.S. We’d love to be able to get the truth from government departments about what’s actually being spent,” Truss instructed Fox Information Virtual.

“What Musk is doing, going straight to the payment system, is a fantastic idea that we need to adopt in Britain, but the reality is that is not going to happen under the current government, because the current government are part of the problem. They are defenders of the deep state. They’re not going to be investigating themselves. I think this is something that has to happen when there’s a change of government. We are watching very closely what Elon Musk is doing. It’s a fantastic playbook for what needs to happen in the U.K.”

“Sometimes I say that Elon Musk is the leader of the opposition in Britain, because he’s the one actually on X, challenging Keir Starmer’s policies, talking about issues like the grooming gangs, the appalling gangs who have been raping girls as young as 12. It’s Elon Musk that’s been taking the fight to Keir Starmer,” she stated. 

Musk and Trump’s talent to clutch the social media narrative and The united states’s rising separate media field impressed Truss to determine a “new free speech media network” in the UK. 

“We have a massive problem with free speech in Britain,” Truss stated. “People are being locked up for posts on Facebook and on X, which is extraordinary. We’re the country that invented freedom of the press back in 1695. It was almost 100 years before the First Amendment. And now we are, as a country, locking people up for saying things online.” 

“This needs to change. So, what I’m establishing is a new free speech media network, which will enable people in Britain to hear what is actually going on, and people across Europe to hear what’s going on.” she persevered. “I think that’s really important. If you look at the Trump revolution, independent media was a major part of that.”

Trump inclined on fresh media right through his 2024 presidential marketing campaign, posting TikTok movies from the marketing campaign path, spending just about 3 hours with the generally usual podcaster Joe Rogan and the use of Reality Social as a right away order to his core bottom.

“What we’re seeing happening in America is a revolution. It’s a conservative revolution. All of the problems we have in our societies in the West, the leftist ideology that’s taken over, whether it’s wokeism or extreme environmentalism or anti-capitalism, all of those are being taken on by President Trump. And I want to see a similar revolution in Britain, which is why I’m here to learn about how they’re doing it, to talk about how we build that kind of movement in Britain,” Truss stated.

“The big difference with Britain is our bureaucracy is more powerful than the American bureaucracy. Most people working in government are career bureaucrats, and that’s what I think we need to learn from America. We need to change,” Truss added.
