Rishi Sunak should take action against Liz Truss for appearing alongside the far-right commentator Steve Bannon and spreading conspiracy theories about the deep state ousting her from power, Labour has said.
During appearances at the Conservative Political Action Conference (Cpac), the former prime minister, who spent only seven weeks in power in 2022, appeared to be making the case for a comeback and relaunching her career in the UK.
She told a rightwing audience in Maryland in the US that her wing of UK conservatives needed a bigger bazooka to take on the hostile environment in which they were operating, taking aim at institutions that she claimed had thwarted her.
Truss also appeared alongside Bannon, a former strategist to Donald Trump, on Real Americas Voice, a far-right TV channel, in a hallway outside the main conference auditorium.
