LIZ Truss, Britain’s shortest-ever serving prime minister, is reportedly plotting a political comeback with advice from right-wing US politicians.
The Tory MP embarked on a trip to Washington before the winter holidays and met with Republican lawmakers and activists to crib notes on how she might push the Government to come back around to her way of thinking, Politico reports.
Truss, who spooked financial markets with her infamous “mini-budget” and left her party looking like an opposition-in-waiting when she quit after just 49 days as PM, is said to have met with Republican congressman Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, a staunch economic conservative.
