Liz Truss Warns Americans About NYC Mayor’s Socialist Policies

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, known for her brief tenure focusing on tax cuts and deregulation, has expressed concerns over the upcoming New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s socialist policies. Truss believes these will align with the high-tax, highly regulated framework she opposed during her time in office.

In an exclusive chat with Fox News Digital, Truss remarked, “We saw what happened with Mamdani’s election. We have similar figures in the UK. They’re never truly satisfied, always pushing for more taxes and regulations. It’s alarming to witness the rise of anti-Semitism in Britain, and I worry we could see something like that in New York.”

Mamdani aims to finance his campaign proposals—like faster public transit, universal child care, and city-operated grocery stores—through raised taxes on corporations and the wealthiest New Yorkers. As he prepares to take office, some critics draw parallels between his agenda and European-style social welfare models.

Truss, who stepped down as prime minister after just 49 days in 2022 amidst political and economic upheaval, has launched LeConfield. This venture aims to connect business leaders, entrepreneurs, and political figures to foster new opportunities in the UK and globally.

“LeConfield is centered on economic growth,” she stated. “It’s crucial for creating networks among senior executives and entrepreneurs. We need to prioritize economic progress; it’s essential.” The club plans to connect London’s business elite in comfortable co-working and executive spaces. Reports suggest that Truss has requested £500,000 from each of the club’s founding members.

She added, “This will encourage genuine discussions and provide a conducive environment for business. Currently, people gather in hotel lobbies or restricted clubs, which isn’t effective for productivity.” However, there’s concern—particularly reflected in a recent analysis by a global investment migration consultancy—that the UK is losing its wealthy residents faster than any other nation.

Reflecting on the high taxes and strict regulations in the UK, Truss emphasized that such conditions push residents and businesses to leave. Despite having abundant energy resources, rules against fracking are raising costs and diminishing competitiveness.

Interestingly, while Truss and President Trump share some views, such as rolling back certain climate regulations, their approaches differ when it comes to trade negotiations. She noted that her experiences as trade minister taught her about the necessity of leveraging positions to strike beneficial deals.

Truss’s perspective diverges sharply from that of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has called on international leaders, including Trump, to lift tariffs that could negatively impact the British economy. Meanwhile, Truss’s new YouTube platform, The Liz Truss Show, is poised to tackle political discussions, aiming to provide a space for free expression beyond mainstream narratives.
