Liz Truss urged Elon Musk and his “nerd army of Muskrats” to examine the “British deep state” as she addressed the right-wing CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) in the US on Thursday, 20 February.

Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, who was in office for less than 50 days, used her speech to criticise the UK and label the country as “in the dark ages.”

Praising Donald Trump and the billionaire X owner, Ms Truss told the American audience: “We want a Trump revolution in Britain, we want to flood the zone.”

Last year, Ms Truss claimed her efforts to cut taxes were “sabotaged” by the “administrative state and the deep state” during a CPAC talk last year.
