UK is 'falling', not a 'functioning country : Ex-PM Liz Truss

Liz Truss, the former British prime minister has alleged that the UK is 'falling' and is not a 'functioning country.' Addressing a rightwing conference she said the UK needed a Donald Trump-style “Maga” movement to save it. As per The Guardian report, Truss was speaking on Wednesday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the National Harbor in Maryland, alongside rightwing populists from around the world planning deeper ties and cooperation. She said,Britain is run by ‘deep state’
“We now have a major problem in Britain that judges are making decisions that should be made by politicians,” the ex-prime minister said, claiming that the judiciary is “no longer accountable” because of reforms by her predecessor Tony Blair, who gave power to an “unelected bureaucracy”. Voters are increasingly angry, she claimed, because they keep voting for change only to be disappointed, including in the current prime minister, Keir Starmer. “The same people are still making the decisions. It’s the deep state, it’s the unelected bureaucrats, it’s the judiciary, she said. “There’s no doubt in my mind that until those changes are reversed, we do not have a functioning country. The British state is now failing, is not working. The decisions are not being made by politicians,” she said. Truss, who was prime minister for only 49 days and lost her seat in last year’s general election, has become an increasingly marginal figure in British politics but found safe harbour at CPAC.
