Liz Truss will launch an “uncensorable” social media platform this summer to take on the “deep state”.
In February the former prime minister announced a “free speech media network” at the Conservative Political Action Conference (Cpac) in Washington, at which she claimed that Britain was “in the Dark Ages”.
At Cpac, Truss pledged that the platform would be “uncancellable” in the hope of reversing what she described as “the West’s war against itself”.

Speaking at a bitcoin conference in Bedford on Friday, Truss said her media startup would arrive this summer and told her audience to expect more news “fairly soon”.
While Truss has yet to expand on the details of her platform, she has spoken extensively about Britain’s media. At the Cpac conference she attacked “supine legacy media that pay lip service to free speech”, which she claimed have “suppressed stories and distorted stories”. She told the conference that Britain wanted “a Trump revolution”.
Truss said: “We have seen what independent media has done for the United States, and we want some of that. That’s why we are going to be establishing a new free-speech media network in conjunction with our American allies, including the great people here at Cpac.”

In Bedford last week, Truss repeated her criticism of those she believed had obstructed her during her 49-day premiership. According to The London Economic, which first reported the story, she told the conference that she had been “cut off at the knees by the economic establishment and the elites” and “the people who didn’t want change and the status-quoists”.
She added: “That has made me think it is not enough just to get into No 10. You might think you can just get into No 10 and sign things off — you can’t.”
Truss was speaking at CheatCode 2025, a cryptocurrency conference with a focus on bitcoin. Steve Baker, a former Conservative minister, was also billed as a speaker. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the cryptocurrency billionaires, also spoke at the event.
