Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has made her first detailed public comments since resigning last October.
Ms Truss stepped down after just 49 days, following pressure from fellow Conservative MPs. It came on the back of a disastrous mini-budget by then Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, who announced large-scale borrowing and tax cuts - which panicked the markets and tanked the pound.
In a column in the Sunday Telegraph, Ms Truss blamed the 'left-wing economic establishment' for her downfall and claimed that she was not given a 'realistic chance' to implement her tax-cutting agenda.
