Truss stated, "During my time as Prime Minister, I fought against a deep state that prevented me from fulfilling my promises. In this process, I encountered significant resistance from the establishment," sharing her views that the US and the UK are governed by similar structures. The former prime minister noted that the power held by politicians in the UK has shifted toward bureaucrats and lawyers over the last 30 years.
LEFT-LEANING ACTIVITIES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE
Liz Truss claimed that "left-leaning" agents are active within the administrative structure and the deep state. She stated that this situation undermined efforts to lower taxes, reduce the size of government, and strengthen democratic accountability. Truss remarked, "I saw firsthand how democratically elected governments were unable to implement their policies while my own efforts were being sabotaged."
These statements provide important clues about the political and administrative struggle that defined Liz Truss's time as prime minister. The former prime minister's words have sparked a new debate regarding the UK's governance structure and political dynamics.
