Liz Truss publishes second book on Bank of England and bond market crisis

Summary

Former prime minister Liz Truss has a new book out this week, her second since leaving office. Titled Bank Job: A Short Book on How the Bank of England Broke the Bond Market and Brought Down the Government, it is her account of the bond market turmoil and the government's fall. Guardian columnist Emma Brockes writes that its early reception suggests it may unite disparate communities of Britain even more than Truss's previous book, Ten Years to Save the West. Brockes's column treats Truss as a figure so ridiculous she cannot see it, recalling that she tanked the value of the pound in 2022 and is widely regarded as the worst ever to have held office. The column is commentary on the book's reception and on Truss's public image, not a review of the book's contents.
