Liz Truss, Fmr Prime Minister: “The Conservative Party has Been Captured by Woke Ideology”
23 Jul 2025
Liz Truss is the UK’s shortest-serving Prime Minister, but certainly one of its most talked about. A self-proclaimed free-market disruptor, her time in Number 10 may have been brief, but it sparked a political firestorm that still divides opinion. Before becoming PM, she held heavyweight roles from Foreign Secretary to Trade Secretary, pushing a radical economic vision that clashed with the establishment. But what does she believe now? She's doubling down on what she believes went wrong, who blocked her, and why she thinks Britain’s system is broken.In Today's Episode We Discuss:What Drives Our Lack of Ambition?Redefining Roles: Bank of England vs. TreasuryHow Business Inexperienced Ministers Shapes UK PolicyWhere Trussonomics StumbledWhy We Don’t Have Great People in Politics?US Transition Period: A Blueprint for Efficiency?Assessing Today’s Conservative PartyAssessing Today’s D&I ApproachChina’s Lead in Navy, Auto, AIShould We Ban TikTok?On Tariff SystemCountering Extremism: Strategies to Mitigate RadicalisationChina or Russia: Who’s the Greater Threat?Does Europe Matter to Trump?Reform or Stagnation: Tory Next StepsCan Britain Meet Its Defence Pledge?
