Truss, who will serve as prime minister for just 49 days in 2022, has come under renewed scrutiny following the release of Anthony Seldon’s new book, “The Last Crusade.”Truss at 10: How not to become Prime Minister.” The book is scathing of her leadership, revealing shocking policy considerations, including scrapping the NHS’s cancer treatment capacity to deal with the economic fallout from her disastrously small budget.

The mini-budget, drafted by Truss and her finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng, was intended to boost economic growth through significant tax cuts. However, it triggered a sharp fall in the value of the pound, forcing the Bank of England to intervene. The ensuing economic chaos led to discussions within Truss’s team about making serious spending cuts, including the drastic and unthinkable option of stopping NHS cancer treatments to balance the books.
The revelations have sparked public and political outrage, with many expressing disbelief at the thought of such extreme measures. Social media platforms have been flooded with reactions ranging from outrage to satire, with users criticising the decision-making processes during her brief tenure as prime minister.

Adding to her troubles, Truss recently faced public embarrassment when a political campaign group Led by Donkey held a banner behind her during a speech. The banner featured a picture of lettuce with the words “I broke the economy”, referring to an earlier media stunt in which lettuce outlived her time in office. The incident highlighted the lasting damage to her public image.
The book also reveals other controversial decisions made during Truss’s tenure, such as an energy deal that could have cost taxpayers an extra £30bn, a disaster only averted by Kwarteng’s opposition. These insights have further tarnished Truss’s political reputation and sparked fresh debate about the direction of the Conservative Party and its leadership.
