Liz Truss Launches YouTube Show to Promote MAGA Influence in the UK
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has launched The Liz Truss Show on YouTube, pledging to expose an "international network of leftists" and pursue a Trump-style revolution in Britain alongside leading MAGA figures. The show is supported by John Solomon’s Just the News, a conservative media outlet hosting Truss’s new podcasts. Solomon is a controversial US journalist with ties to MAGA media and has appeared on platforms such as Real America's Voice and War Room with Steve Bannon.
Truss has already interviewed Steve Bannon, signaling a concerted effort to import MAGA media into the UK and align with a broader conservative ecosystem that amplifies MAGA talking points. Early metrics indicate a modest start, with 10,000 subscribers in the first week and 67,000 views for the debut episode.
Solomon’s network is linked to the Informing America Foundation (IAF), which funds Just the News and other conservative outlets. The IAF reportedly reaches over 120 million Americans monthly and shares office space with Just the News, though Solomon states he has no formal role at the IAF.
UK observers note that digital media crosses borders and could broaden MAGA influence in Britain. They point to cross-Atlantic connections such as CPAC appearances by Truss and Nigel Farage. While some critics doubt Truss’s media suitability and charisma, others see potential for rebranding within this conservative media ecosystem.
The broader MAGA media ecosystem includes Real America’s Voice and War Room with Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon. Truss’s strategy appears to leverage these platforms to amplify MAGA messaging both in the UK and internationally.
