From prime minister to shock jock: Liz Truss gets her own YouTube show

LONDON — Britain’s shortest-serving Prime Minister Liz Truss is launching her own YouTube show. She wants it to be the home of a “counter-revolution.”

“The Liz Truss Show,” which launches Friday, will be a “bold new program in a media landscape dominated by groupthink and timid consensus,” a press statement announcing the show declared. She will be “taking the gloves off,” it added.

Truss, who spent just 49 days in office before being ousted by her own party, has been active on the lucrative U.S. speech circuit since leaving office in 2022. She has repeatedly insisted the market crisis which triggered her downfall was not her fault.

“The Deep State tried to destroy me but now I’m back and excited to launch this show,” she said.

Truss is making the show with American journalist John Solomon’s Just the News network. Episodes will be released each week on both video and audio platforms including YouTube, Rumble and Spotify.

The ex-PM said:  “People in Britain, America, and across the free world are tired of being talked down to. They’re tired of experts who get everything wrong, elites who refuse to listen, and weak leaders who won’t stand up for Western values.”

After losing office, Truss wrote her memoir, which blamed the Bank of England, Treasury and Office for Budget Responsibility watchdog for her economic woes.
