“I don’t think anyone is interested. I think the party is saying don’t come back, we are all in deep therapy and doing rather well to forget you (Ms Truss),” said one Tory MP.

“But circumstances and choices that we are making led to that being discredited.”

The former prime minister, who lasted only 49 days in office, claimed that the Treasury and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng were not warned the mini-Budget threatened the UK’s financial stability. He claimed he had delivered a lecture to Treasury civil servants and sent an “entire paper on the subject” to Mr Kwarteng personally, warning that “any budget involving a fiscal stimulus that pushed up market interest rates risked financial instability and a financial crisis”.

He added that he “explicitly said” great care should be taken so that the measures used to bring inflation under control “do not cause unnecessary financial instability”, warning the government would face “political consequences” if it did not heed his advice. And reacting to Ms Truss’s claims that her plans to kickstart economic growth were sabotaged by the “left-wing economic establishment,” he said: “No attempt to resurrect her disastrous premiership will work – fighting the establishment makes no sense as she was a member of cabinet from 2014 [and] voted for it. TheHe agreed Ms Truss claims about not being warned of the risks of the mini-Budget “are untrue” .
