Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has published a memoir, “Ten Years to Save the West,” in which she discusses her short-lived tenure and internal party dynamics. The book delves into her policy decisions, including a controversial budget with Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, and criticizes figures such as current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Truss’s memoir explores the implications of the Conservative Party’s leadership selection process, particularly the influence of party members over MPs in choosing leaders.

In a separate upcoming release, Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative MPs’ 1922 committee, will share his political experiences in “Kingmaker: Secrets, Lies, and the Truth about Five Prime Ministers.” The memoir is set to offer insights into Brady’s role in the political challenges and leadership transitions affecting the Conservative Party over his 27-year tenure. Brady, known for his discretion and influence, plans to retire after the publication, coinciding with the next general election.

The Conservative Party is gearing up for a series of hustings this summer, pivotal for the leadership race between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss. These events, starting on July 28 in Leeds and continuing across various UK cities, will allow party members to engage directly with the candidates. The hustings are crucial for shaping the future leadership and policy direction of the party.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson, no longer in government, expressed his bemusement at not being involved in a recent scandal during a Q&A in Washington, describing the oversight as “humiliating.” In other news, Maurice Saatchi has released a new book titled “Orgasm,” exploring intellectual stimulation, priced at £100 per copy. Additionally, a public survey has playfully queried whether Keir Starmer or Rishi Sunak would be more adept at putting up a shelf, with results favoring Starmer over the current Prime Minister.
