Fmr PM Truss to Newsmax: Starmer Is Failing UK

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss told Newsmax on Friday that the government is failing the United Kingdom.

Truss appeared on "Finnerty" after anti-immigrant protests swept Belfast, Northern Ireland, following a Sudanese man's arrest on suspicion of attempted murder in a stabbing attack.

"We have a prime minister, Keir Starmer, who believes in open borders," Truss said. "He's a human rights lawyer.

"He's spent his time defending people who have entered our country illegally, and he does not want to change his worldview."

"And instead of dealing with the problem that we have in our country, he's attacking everybody from Elon Musk to Nigel Farage, who dares to question the policies that have led to this appalling atrocity on the streets of our country," Truss added.

Truss said people are "absolutely livid" about what is happening in the U.K.

"When we saw the footage of Henry Nowak, essentially the police handcuffing someone that was dying because they believed it to be a racist attack, rather than understanding what was happening on the ground, it was a sign that our institutions have become corrupted," Truss said.

 "They become corrupted by the DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] mentality rather than focusing on everybody being treated equally under the law and the establishment who got it so wrong for many years," she added.

The former prime minister said Britain's leaders refuse to tell the truth about what mass migration has wrought.

"They're simply in denial about what's happening in our country," Truss said. "The police need to have new people appointed at the top who are responding to what the public want, rather than following a progressive agenda."

"Our institutions have become corrupted," Truss said. "They need to be changed. Keir Starmer, our prime minister, is unfortunately part of that establishment. They all need to go, in my view."

Truss said left-wing politicians want to encourage immigration to undermine the basis of Western civilization.

"People who don't support our values, and that that is what they want to achieve," Truss said. "They want to undermine the family. They want to undermine the nation-state."

"They want open borders. They want progressive ideology like transgender ideology," Truss added. "And people in Britain are saying, 'we've had enough of this. We want to hear the truth about what's happening in our country.'"

"The reaction by Keir Starmer is to arrest those people and put them in jail," Truss continued.
