Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Tuesday said the United Kingdom needs a "Trump-style revolution" in order to beat the administrative state that has been ruling the country's government for so long.
Truss said that the British people have been voting for change in recent elections, but that the leadership within those parties have largely remained the same. The comment comes as British voters push back on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is part of the left's Labor Party.
The former prime minister also claimed that British voters want the country's immigration problem dealt with, new jobs to come into their local areas, and cheap energy costs.
"What's going on is people in Britain keep voting for change. So they voted for Brexit in 2016, they voted for Boris in 2019, and they voted for Keir Starmer in 2024. And on each occasion, they wanted things shaken up," Truss said on the "Just The News, No Noise" TV show. "But every time they voted, the same people are still making the decisions.
"And I think we're getting to a stage now in Britain where people are blaming the system," she continued. "They are beginning to understand that the problem isn't the identity of the person in Downing Street. The problem is the technocrats who have ruled the roost for 30 years now."
Truss claimed that the problem Britain has is that while the leader may change, they do not have the power to appoint as many new people as the incoming administration in the United States.
The former prime minister highlighted President-elect Donald Trump's ability to appoint "5,000" new officials to essentially replace the current American government, and said the same must be done in her country.
"I think we need a Trump style revolution in Britain. We need the [Elon] Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy revolution," she said. "And the question is, can we take on the blob to be able to do that? And I have the scars on my back for trying to fight them. And what I'd say is, we definitely need reinforcements."
Truss holds the record for the shortest term of a British prime minister, serving in the office for just 49 days, from September 6 to October 20 of 2022.
