Londoner’s Diary
Liz Truss’s book “Ten Years To Save The West: Lessons From The Only Conservative In The Room” is out next week. While the book aims to teach lessons and set out a plan for the future, is also essentially a prime ministerial memoir and therefore merited a considerable vetting process from the civil service. Pity the poor Whitehall mandarins who have been bogged down with the manuscript in recent months, sifting through relevant chapters of the book in search of accidental leaks or national security breaches. “At least David Cameron waited a few years,” says one Whitehall wag whose department was run by Truss in the middle of 12-year career in government.
