Former prime minister says Britain is run by ‘deep state’ at rightwing conference in Maryland

Liz Truss, the former British prime minister, told a rightwing conference in the US that her country was “failing” and needed a Donald Trump-style “Maga” movement to save it.

Truss was speaking on Wednesday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the National Harbor in Maryland, alongside rightwing populists from around the world planning deeper ties and cooperation.
