Liz Truss’s Conservative Revolution: A British Blueprint for Global Transformation
At the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), former United Kingdom Prime Minister Liz Truss unveiled her ambitious plan to ignite a conservative revolution in her home country, drawing inspiration from the success of former US President Donald Trump.
Envy of Trump’s Agenda
Truss expressed admiration for Trump’s second term and the efficiency of his government, which she believes has inspired envious glances from world leaders. She emphasized the need for transparency and accountability, particularly in government spending.
"We’d love to be able to get the truth from government departments about what’s actually being spent," Truss stated.
Elon Musk’s DOGE as a Playbook for Reform
Truss hailed Elon Musk’s efforts through the DOGE Twitter account as a model for exposing government waste and inefficiency. She emphasized the importance of bypassing traditional bureaucracy and embracing innovative approaches to improve government operations.
"What Musk is doing, going straight to the payment system, is a fantastic idea that we need to adopt in Britain," Truss said, acknowledging the impracticality of such a move under the current Labour government led by Keir Starmer.
Advocacy for UK DOGE
Truss’s support for a UK DOGE aligns with the growing momentum for such a movement on social media. The Procurement Files, an X account analogous to the official US DOGE account, has played a significant role in uncovering mismanagement of British taxpayer money. Conservative leaders like Nigel Farage have also explicitly called for a UK DOGE.
Free Speech and Independent Media
Beyond government reform, Truss highlighted the importance of free speech and independent media. She voiced concern over the suppression of speech in Britain, particularly on social media platforms and online spaces.
"We have a massive problem with free speech in Britain," Truss asserted. "People are being locked up for posts on Facebook and on Twitter, which is extraordinary."
To counter this, Truss announced the establishment of a new free speech media network in the United Kingdom, inspired by the role of independent media in Trump’s political revolution.
Learning from Trump’s Success
Truss’s presence at CPAC was motivated by a desire to learn from the success of Trump’s conservative revolution in the United States. She expressed agreement with Trump’s policies, ranging from immigration to taxation to energy independence.
"What we’re seeing happening in America is a revolution. It’s a conservative revolution," Truss declared. "All of the problems we have in our societies in the West, the leftist ideology, are being taken on by President Trump. And I want to see a similar revolution in Britain."
Broader Conservative Coalition and Global Collaboration
Truss emphasized the need for broadening the conservative coalition in Britain and collaborating with like-minded leaders worldwide. She met with European and world leaders to discuss strategies for addressing shared challenges, such as reducing energy prices and promoting economic growth.
British Bureaucracy and the Need for Change
Truss acknowledged the formidable power of the British bureaucracy, which she believes impedes meaningful reform. She suggested learning from the American experience, where career bureaucrats have less influence.
"The big difference with Britain is our bureaucracy is more powerful than the American bureaucracy," Truss said. "We need to change."
Truss’s Ambitious Agenda
Truss’s vision for a conservative revolution in Britain is ambitious and multifaceted, encompassing government efficiency, free speech, independent media, and policy changes inspired by Trump’s agenda. Despite her brief tenure as Prime Minister, Truss remains a prominent figure in British politics and a source of inspiration for conservative movements worldwide.
