Liz Truss

We had the Bill of Rights, 1689.

So we do have these...

freedoms written into our law.

The problem is that particularly over the last 30 years, since the advent of Tony Blair, new laws have been passed that have limited those freedoms.

The Human Rights Act that gave the same rights to illegal immigrants as British citizens.

The Climate Change Act, which limited what we could do in terms of using our own energy.

The Equality Act, which put DEI into law in Britain.

And

Blair also abolished the role of the Lord Chancellor.

So judges used to be appointed by the Lord Chancellor and the Prime Minister.

They now appoint themselves.

So what's happened is huge amounts of power that used to sit in Parliament has been passed over to unelected bureaucrats, unelected judges, unelected police chiefs, and these people have been captured by the woke ideology.

They've been captured by the transgender activists, by the Islamists in some cases, by the eco-zealots, and...

I learned about this as a government minister.

I fought that battle for 10 years.

And ultimately, as prime minister, what happened to me was those people had so much power, they were able to take me down.

So what has happened is the whole basis of ancient British liberties has been completely undermined by legal change in Britain and by the capture of our institutions.

And the only way we're going to fix that is by capturing them back.

The deep state targeted me.

So if you look at what the Bank of England did in 2022, they announced the sale of £40 billion worth of government gilts the night before we put our budget forward.
