She’s produced a bestseller! Liz Truss’s new book has been out for less than 72 hours and it’s already sold out on Amazon. It’s currently reprinting but will be due back in stock early next week. Golly. Ten Years to Save the West is part-memoir, part-political vision, documenting not only Truss’s 49 days in office but the twists and turns of her own political journey in and out of No. 10. At the time of writing, Mr S notes that Truss’s colourful new tell-all has taken first place in Amazon’s ‘biography and memoir’ bestseller chart — and it is the fifth most popular book being bought on the site overall. Liz-mania has taken hold…

But the success of the shortest-serving Prime Minister’s book may ruffle feathers as it pushes other publications down the charts. Indeed, Meghan of Montecito and her royal renegade husband might not be too thrilled that the kindle version of Lady Colin Campbell’s biography of the couple is ranked 15th while the hardcover copy has been knocked off the list altogether.
