Her delivery might be stilted – but Truss’ new YouTube show has grand ambitions: a ‘Trump revolution’ in Britain with the help of an influential US conservative ecosystem
Liz Truss, Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, began the first edition of her YouTube show with a vow to unmask “the evil-doers” attempting to bring down Britain, the US and Europe. She would, she explained, reveal how an “international network of leftists work to subvert democracy and the will of the people”.
Despite her bleak monologue, Truss pointed to hope from across the Atlantic. “We’re going to look at the Trump revolution and see how this can be achieved in Britain,” she said. “We’ll be talking to the leading lights of the Maga movement.”
Before the show’s launch, there was one particularly enthusiastic supporter. “This is the beginning of a kind of revolution,” said John Solomon, a controversial veteran US journalist. His conservative Just the News platform will host the former prime minister’s new podcasts.
British fellow travellers, including a pro-Reform adviser who has appeared on Maga media outlets, have also helped her set up the Liz Truss Show. Its staging is competent, if basic. Truss has amassed 10,000 subscribers in her first week and across the same period her debut had 67,000 views.
