In her first detailed comments since she was forced out of Downing Street, the former prime minister did admit she was not 'blameless' but 'underestimated the resistance' to her policies.

Read more:While her experience last autumn was personally"bruising", Ms Truss believed that over the medium term her policies would have increased growth and brought down debt.

"It rapidly became a market stability issue and we had to act to stabilise the situation. While the government was focused on investigating what had happened and taking action to remedy the situation, political and media commentators cast an immediate verdict blaming the mini-budget. She said that while, with the benefit of hindsight, she would have acted differently, she said that she had had to battle against the"instinctive views of the Treasury" and"the wider orthodox economic ecosystem".Market chaos that ended Trussonomics - Ed Conway

"Frankly, we were also pushing water uphill. Large parts of the media and the wider public sphere had become unfamiliar with key arguments about tax and economic policy and over time sentiment had shifted left-wards," she said.

No you didnt give the people of Great Britain a chance

Seriously, do people care? Media getting desperate for junk news

Oh DO go away...

And for that we thank the economic establishment

Liz, your own party (the conservatives) was in power and they forced you to resign. Don’t blame it on the left wing.

Another 'Spare' loading?

Unelected, her few weeks in power are still costing me a fortune. She should just walk away and hope we all forget about it. Ridiculous creature.

She is a joke

I smell shite

The Anti Growth Coalition is wrecking the UK ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ GeneralElectionN0W

So really, she is claiming to be pretty much blameless.

Truss was brought down because in a matter of weeks she lost the confidence of the financial markets, the electorate and her own MPs. During a profound cost of living crisis, she thought it was a priority to cut tax for the richest people in the country.

Yet she happy threw her chancellor of the exchequer under the bus ....f'ed up leadership. Full of excuses. We are better with out her!

The nerve of her

Still as thick as ever

This shows just the state of our mental health service, Liz Truss BorisJohnson are able to walk around in society. She should be locked up for her own safety

The level of delusion is astonishing.

I was never given a chance to show what I could do for the property market, claims serial arsonist.

Do one!! Take the muppet show with you!!

She sounds like Ming the Merciless.

Someone seems to be stuck in an alternate universe. That or she needs to go back on her meds

Clown

Yes she was. A small child could see she was incompetent.

Look at all the people that are can’t afford they mortgages now

Cough cough BULLSH*T cough cough

They truly have no shame

This is very strange

There’s a reason trussliz wasn’t given the chance to enact her policies… … because just the start and thought of them almost crippled the economy!

I cannot wait for Truss to come back, ITS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS!

44 days were far too long for the general public who are now struggling to survive because of you and your lover boy.

It wasn’t the economic establishment it was the free market which clearly she doesn’t understand

You had long enough. Bye now

She's right, they needed to pay for the Ukrainian war

She blames everybody but herself.

Every single Tory blames a whole load of other people. It's boring, monotonous, and grinding us down As a parry just move to one side

Wonder how many mortgage agreements fell through because of her decisions?

How very Trumpian.

They're frightened of you Liz!

The fucking bitch needs to be in jail trussliz

. Bare faced cheek of the woman. Utterly shameless. She should have remained under a stone in her constituency somewhere. Trashed the economy to the tune of £70B, raised mortgages for millions. Laughable.

Would you like another go?

Typical Tory, ruin the lives of hard working people and blame everyone else, accept no personal responsibility . A truly detestable creature.

Just repay the £ 35 billion and all will be forgiven

Well PM Liz, getting the ground running after swearing in, means you are ready to lead as you sounded during the series of debates. I don't think you should be blaming anyone.Clinical leadership is not the same as academic knowledge.Your graphs and puzzles weren't properly drawn.

It's not me ,it's you.. . What an absolute kick in the teeth to those who's bills have superceded their income.

Is she accusing the international markets of being left wing?

Who gives a toss? Someone tell her it's not about her...

Why are you promoting her? There’s more important news you should focus on. Never get it right do you

Absolutely

Where is Sunak’s promised tax return?

BS! All newly elected leaders/PMs have to hit the ground running. If you step into a global political storm on your first day, deal with it!

You owe us £75 billion or 75 years in prison

Her ego knows no limits.

The worst “prime minister” in history. She should never go near government again.

Another entitled Tory with no pride, dignity or shame and will not accept when they screw up that it’s their fault …..jog on my dear x

We currently have an unelected Prime Minister, and at least two of his predecessors won't go away and appear to staging comebacks. Time to introduce a rota and let all our Brexit PMs have a go, just to keep the peace? Mon: Johnson Tue: Truss Wed: Sunak Thu: May Fri-Sun: 🪨📰✂️

This woman should be apologising for her mistake which tanked the economy, raised interest rates and causing most of the problems we are facing now and not blame others

God forbid!!

Really this is the person who is ready to press the button

can't believe the tories are allowing her & spaffer to so obviously undermine Sunak

It will be such a pleasure to see them all jockeying for position and status on the opposition benches. Nobody will give a fig what they do any more thankfully as they won't be able to damage our lives any more.

Delusional

Conservative Business Only!

ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY.

She was given a chance, she just blew it in the first week, and monumentally!

Lol

I hate slave pretend fame.
