But she had an optimistic assessment of the outlook for the Greens, reenergized under Zack Polanski\u2019s leadership. \u201cPeople don\u2019t want this kind of technocratic managerial crap anymore. [Polanski] might end up leader of the opposition at this rate,\u201d she said. \u201cI think there\u2019s a certain kind of honesty about the Green Party that you don\u2019t see in the Labour Party \u2026 because there\u2019s nothing for people to believe in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Truss was speaking during a trip to Washington, D.C. and Virginia, where she met with leading figures from the conservative MAGA movement. In an extensive interview, Truss hinted,\u00a0however,\u00a0that\u00a0her position could change when it comes to staying above the party fray.<\/p>\n
Asked how she saw Reform, she retorted: \u201cI\u2019m not offering my services,\u201d even if there is a chance of bumping into its leader, Farage, who enjoys close links with U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s White House. However, she didn\u2019t shut the door on some alignment with Reform: \u201cI\u2019m doing what I\u2019m doing on an independent basis for now \u2026 reaching out to people, to network and to understand the lie of the land. I\u2019m not going to say \u2026 my definite plans for the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Truss resigned three years ago after just 49 days \u2014 the shortest period in office of any British prime minister.\u00a0After losing her seat in last year\u2019s general election, she has made regular visits to the U.S., attending right-wing conferences and conventions where she has praised Trump.<\/p>\n
Last week she joined a roster of Christian conservatives who support the MAGA movement. She spoke at a business summit at Liberty University in Virginia, founded by the late televangelist and conservative activist Jerry Falwell, alongside Gen. Mike Flynn, the former national security adviser to Trump,\u00a0whose stump speeches described\u00a0a Manichean fight between good and evil and Trump as the nation\u2019s savior.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the event afterward, Truss told McElvoy: \u201cThere\u2019s a huge amount we can learn from [Trump] and what is happening in America and the MAGA revolution in the U.K. and Europe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But she had an optimistic assessment of the outlook for the Greens, reenergized under Zack Polanski\u2019s leadership. \u201cPeople…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[9311,11850,802,748,1193,1194,2311,32,33,393,4884,1198,1749,384,1144,619,8547,24488,712,1200,16,15,49,1764,771,98158],"class_list":{"0":"post-521097","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-angela-rayner","11":"tag-austerity","12":"tag-brexit","13":"tag-britain","14":"tag-british-politics","15":"tag-budget","16":"tag-climate-change","17":"tag-donald-trump","18":"tag-elections","19":"tag-england","20":"tag-great-britain","21":"tag-kemi-badenoch","22":"tag-liz-truss","23":"tag-nigel-farage","24":"tag-northern-ireland","25":"tag-rachel-reeves","26":"tag-religion","27":"tag-robert-jenrick","28":"tag-scotland","29":"tag-tax","30":"tag-uk","31":"tag-united-kingdom","32":"tag-united-states","33":"tag-wales","34":"tag-war","35":"tag-westminster-insider"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115421164720174819","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
