Former UK prime minister’s new memoir shows she is isn’t backing down despite being blamed for almost collapsing the British economy

Liz Truss gives a speech on the economy at the Institute for Government in London in September 2023.

Not long after she became prime minister, her husband, Hugh O’Leary, struggled to order groceries online for delivery to Number 10 Downing Street. The retailer thought it was a hoax. Then her security detail were unwilling to disturb her when the shopping eventually arrived. She also suggests Downing Street was infested with fleas from her predecessor’s Jack Russell dog, Dilyn. Truss says she “spent weeks itching”.

“Maybe I should have listened,” says Truss, whose premiership unravelled soon afterwards when markets rejected the aggressive economic policies of her and her chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, and the pound went into freefall. She also suggested to the Sun that Britain needs to “leave the European Court of Human Rights, abolish the Supreme Court and abolish the Human Rights Act” to push through reforms to control illegal immigration.
