Liz Truss, Britain's new foreign minister: What are her views? • FRANCE 24 English

Prime Minister Boris #Johnson appointed Liz #Truss as foreign minister on Wednesday, only the second woman to hold the position in #Britain. As trade minister for the past two years, Truss has been a strong advocate of Britain's economic and diplomatic realignment towards the Indo-Pacific region, spearheading efforts to join a trans-Pacific trading bloc. The 46-year-old has struck trade deals around the world, including with Japan and Australia.

Promoted well above her level of competence. The whole political scene at present is frightening with people talking up her chances of being Prime Minister.

Poor Lizzie, like her precedent in Pygmalion by Shaw, she speaks a perfect RP but she ignores Geography and History. Let us remind her that the Baltic countries do not border the Black Sea but the Baltic Sea, and that the last invaders of Ukraine were not the Mongols in the Middle Ages but the Germans in 1941.

Wait, Liz Truss has views? Who signed off on that?

This is the woman who has said that drones are afraid of dogs.

[willgiles]

Her views are whatever views she needs to hold for the job she has…

[seanmoran]

Her views are dictated by what benefits her career

[lwzfog]

Doesn’t have any, simply does as it’s told by its WEF paymasters, like the rest.

[snapfinger]

She’ll have to brush up on geography if she wants to be the next Maggie T.

Back when her tenure lasted more than 45 days

G7 meeting in Liverpool today Truss warning Iran of consequences ? While where all consumed with Christmass parties past and present .

[magicwandfour]

If, as she is being touted, becomes the UKs` next Prime Minister then Ian Hislop and Paul Merton will need new jobs. The comedy will be the 9 O`clock news starring Ms Truss.

Britain has always been global. When was it the opposite?

[kqqpdhl]

Such interesting, and damaging, other choices.

    I wonder if Mrs Truss will continue to ‘advise’ her Prime Minister(s) and the rest within the ‘Cabinet’, in terms of abuse of power and influence.

   Let’s take for example, a recent visit from Mr. Nechirvan Barzani, apparently a friend of Mr. Zahawi, thrilled for his newly assigned position as Secretary of State for Education.

   Quite an interesting event held by the British Government, inviting a representative of a place within Iraq, self-styled President. President of a farm, president of a syndicate or the president of some Kurdish workers? I know of President of Turkey, Mr. Recep. Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Iraq, Mr. Barham Salih. It must be quite ‘overwhelming’ for this separatist group within a part/region from Iraq to have such ‘honour’, and to be given another chance to continue through a seemingly hidden agenda, and unscrupulous politics to receiving legitimacy, and if this is the case then, the (yet again) misleading politics of the current British government supports a potential, futile war. Since when the Conservative Party is trying to legitimise such separatist groups (which History?).  

 The intent of these meetings, in my opinion, is not beneficial to the British People nor to the British Government.  They create confusion and break connections with other nations, and disturb the relationships with other countries.  

  It is easy to dismantle an educational system, to bring it to a ridiculous state but it is harder to recover it once the process of destruction begins. The sooner we intervene, the easier it will be to restore the normal system of education.

What are the British people eating? Is it British made?
