Liz Truss and her plan to ‘save the west’
Liz Truss is back – kind of. The former PM of just 49 days has published a book, Ten Years to Save the West. The Guardian’s political correspondent Eleni Courea and breaking news correspondent Martin Pengelly discuss her seeming lack of regret
Despite just 49 days in office during which the British pound reached an all-time low against the dollar in reaction to Liz Truss’s mini-budget, Truss remains defiant and has published her views on how to “save the west” in a book.
Today in Focus host Helen Pidd speaks to the Guardian’s political correspondent Eleni Courea about what Truss has been up to since her resignation and what she may be hoping to achieve with the publication of her book, Ten Years to Save the West. Helen also talks to Washington breaking news correspondent Martin Pengelly for his thoughts on the book and whether Truss has shown any remorse for the decisions made during her short-lived premiership
