Former UK prime minister Liz Truss faces online mockery after announcing her next book, “Bank Job,” which is due to be released later in October. Multiple outlets say the reaction comes from the book’s focus on the 2022 mini-Budget and the economic turmoil that followed.
The articles describe how Truss’s new book is positioned to “lift the lid” on what happened around the mini-Budget, with particular emphasis on the Bank of England’s role. HuffPost UK adds further context about her short time in office and outlines how supporters of different viewpoints dispute responsibility for the crisis—contrasting her argument with that of critics who attribute the fallout to her policies.
While all three sources center on the backlash, the framing varies: Daily Express and The Mirror foreground the mockery itself, largely via the book announcement. HuffPost UK also foregrounds the book’s stated purpose and includes more detail about its messaging and the broader political dispute over causes of the 2022 events.
