IN FULL: Liz Truss and Tony Abbott issue grim assessment of the West

Former UK prime minister Liz Truss has delivered a grim assessment of the West as she warned against the rise of the left.

Ms Truss joined former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott in a sit-down interview with Sky News host Peta Credlin where they discussed the creeping agenda of the left and how to lure younger conservatives.

“I think we are actually destroying our societies from within and I think we are also projecting weakness towards regimes like Iran and Russia and China,” Ms Truss said.

We haven't lost confidence in our way of life but we have lost faith in the entire political class just like the majority of Brits. That's why "The Reform Party" has become so popular in the UK and why the Teals did so well in the last election here, even if many didn't know what they stood for.

One of the biggest problems is a lack of leadership coming out of the right side of politics. Conservative politicians in the UK and Australia have been trying to have a bet both ways and in doing so have allowed the left to run rampant. We want our conservative politicians to act like conservative politicians. What the UK in Australia requires in our Conservative politicians is some guts. I pray that Donald Trump wins the 2024 election and if he was running in Australia I would 1000% vote for him. Islam and the West are completely incompatible and will always be so. Never forget, on October 7, in front of the Sydney Opera house, hey danced and gleefully chanted, like they had won the Football World Cup. They joyfully celebrated the rape and butchering of hundreds of teenage girls and pregnant women. These people are monsters.

I firmly believe that Liz Truss should have been the Prime Minister. Britain would be a much better country.

I'm glad Liz acknowledged that we haven't left the EU.

[DavidLockett-xb]

Possibly we should all go back to the stone age and start again.

Immigration policy is driven by corporations, politicians just carry out their directives

[davidfenwick]

Good on you Liz Truss ... make sure you promote that book well there are so many people in our western world that are oblivious and don't realize the real situation and what it means...I feel sorry for Liz I think was dished out a raw deal in the UK

[TheBrubaker]

Good lord its like a Monty Python sketch from the seventies.

[samwalker]

I believe the problem is that Canberra is compromised by lobbyists and corporate interests. So many poor public policy decisions have been made in the name of appeasing donors and interest groups

[sf]

this is a great interview, i must say..

[stevecamm]

We need politicians with more mettle and willingness to tell the truth and deliver. Liz is part of that group

[Paulg-]

Key point from Liz, governments aren't governing anymore and power resides elsewhere.

[miketattersfield]

Whenever I listen to these discussions on these topics, one thing missing is the reach of the Global Instituitions that many of our Politicians favour over the voters they represent. UN Agenda 2021, WEF, Bank of International Settlements, IMF, Council of Foreign Relations, EU, Open Society Foundation; etc. Until this is addressed, national politics have no function and are irrelevent.

Why does anyone platform this discredited and irrelevant woman?

[LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

The political moderation on YT is shameful.

[vsls]

What's the talking lettuce doing there.

[bbbf]

Conservative mindsets - listening to advice from someone outclassed by a cabbage.
What the hell.

[PrimeTime]

anglosphere wants to create another opium war

[darrenleask]

Great talk, nice to know these talks can happen

[marktanska]

What we lack is the bravely, be brave enough to stand what we, the right, believe in. I, and my family believe in goodness of humanity. we love each other. I as a sailor want to help anyone on the water.
