Liz Truss: Former PM says she wasn’t ‘given a realistic chance’ as she speaks out following political return

Former prime minister Liz Truss has spoken out about her time in number 10, saying that she believed her mandate “would be respected,” but that she was wrong on this. Ms Truss claimed the infamous title of shortest serving PM in British history when she resigned in October 2022.

Her 44 day tenure as leader of the UK saw her follow in the footsteps of Boris Johnson. However, in her resignation speech, Ms Truss realised that she would not be able to deliver the mandate of a low tax, high growth economy.
