Liz Truss recently released a book in which she makes several revelations about her government that have gone down in history for not the best reasons. In the 49 days she led the United Kingdom’s executive branch, she became the country’s shortest-serving Prime Minister.
One of the revelations has drawn further criticism from Britons, who accuse the policy of being “self-centered”.
She said when she was informed of Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September 2022, she said: “Why me? Why now.”
“To say this on just my second full day as Prime Minister seemed surreal. In a state of shock, I found myself thinking: “Why me? Why now?”, reports the English press.
Despite the explanation, the political arguments appear to have failed to convince most Britons.
“Calm down. This means that the death of the queen was connected with [Liz] Farm? There needs to be a name for this kind of delusional thinking,” Chris Bryant, a member of the UK Labor Party MP, wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“She turned the death of our longest reigning monarch into an issue about herself…” another person commented on the same social media platform.
Liz Truss and the Queen met just two days before the monarch’s death. “It made no sense for death to come so quickly,” the former prime minister wrote in the book.
Controversial book contains even more revelations
Despite having little time to settle into Downing Street, the official home of the current Prime Minister, Liz Truss has managed to gather several criticisms of housing in central London.
“I’m not sure it would rank well on Airbnb,” he said in the now published paper. “It was surprisingly spacious, but it had no soul.”
Truss also says there were a lot of fleas in the house – and indirectly says, according to The Guardian, that Boris Johnson’s dog is to blame – and that the supermarket had problems delivering there.
The politician, who was in government for ten years (from 2012 to 2022), also says in the book that Britons will be no better off in 2022 than they were in 2007.
Truss also criticizes the lack of support for the Prime Minister, who has had to “do his own hair and make his own appointments”. Despite this, he says that every time he fell ill, he had to send his secretary to get medicine.
