Since being forced to resign over a mini-Budget that spooked the markets, Liz Truss has become something of a bogeyman for not just the Left but the Tories too.

But Ms Truss insists she was “sabotaged” by the Bank of England and the Blob, and that Britain is being run by an “unelected technocracy”.

The former prime minister tells Tim and guest host Rachel Johnson how she was “radicalised” by being in government; why she admires Donald Trump; and, with Keir Starmer in Beijing this week, how “British officialdom is beholden to China”.

Plus, she reveals whether she would join Nigel Farage’s party, following Robert Jenrick’s defection, and warns: “the Blob is trying to infiltrate Reform”.
