Liz Truss, the UK’s shortest-serving prime minister, has detailed her experiences during her brief tenure in her memoir, revealing personal challenges and political tribulations. Truss served as prime minister for only 49 days before resigning due to controversial economic policies that resulted in financial instability.

Truss’s memoir, titled “Ten Years to Save the West,” discusses various significant events, including the death of Queen Elizabeth II, which occurred just two days into her premiership. She recounts the advice given by the late monarch to “pace yourself” and reflects on their last meeting, where the Queen’s insights on politics were shared.

The book also covers the economic fallout from Truss’s mini-budget, which proposed aggressive tax cuts leading to a pensions crisis and widespread criticism from financial institutions. Despite defending her libertarian right-wing policies, she acknowledges the resistance faced from entities she describes as part of a bureaucratic and leftist “deep state.”

Comparing herself to Brian Clough, a football manager known for his brief and controversial tenure at Leeds United, Truss expresses a resigned acceptance of her parallel fate in political leadership.

“Ten Years to Save the West” not only serves as a memoir but also as a platform for Truss to continue promoting her political ideology, with plans to engage in events in the US to discuss her vision of Popular Conservatism.

This publication promises readers a deep dive into the internal and external struggles Truss faced during her short-lived yet impactful prime ministerial stint, against the backdrop of a politically and economically turbulent period in the UK.
