LONDON (AP) — During her 49 days as Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, Liz Truss sparked mayhem on the financial markets and turmoil within her Conservative Party.
Now she is speaking up, and her message is: It wasn’t me.
In interviews and a new book, Truss robustly defends her economic record, blaming the “deep state,” “technocrats,” “the establishment,” civil servants and the Bank of England for her downfall.
“I’m not saying I’m perfect,” Truss told the BBC. But, she added, “I’m frankly not going to let them get off the hook.”
Traditionally, former British prime ministers keep quiet for an extended period after leaving office. Not Truss. In her grandly titled tome “Ten Years to Save the West” — which is being released on Tuesday — the former prime minister defends her actions, excoriates her many critics and offers her prescription for a better world.
