Can Liz Truss rewrite history?

Last week’s anniversary of Liz Truss entering Downing Street could have passed by quietly. But the Trussites had other ideas. Her supporters used the moment to make the case for Trussonomics once again: to say that Truss diagnosed the country’s problems correctly and that she was on track to find solutions – until her many conspirators took her down.

As it turned out, the cheerleading was a warm-up to the big event: yesterday Truss announced the details of her upcoming book – Ten Years to Save the West – which will be published next spring. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, the former prime minister promised a detailed account of her time in Downing Street, the lessons she learned along the way, and how those lessons can be leveraged into a brighter, more prosperous future for the UK.

I’m sure the first-hand account of those 49 days is going to be fascinating. Yet I fear the core message of the book will be a rehash of what we’ve been hearing from the former prime minister all year.
