I don't want to be PM again, Truss insists

Britain's shortest-serving prime minister had previously declined to rule out standing to be Tory leader, saying it was "never wise to rule anything out in politics".

However, in an interview with Sky News yesterday, Ms Truss, pictured, appeared to do just that, saying her new book was "not trying to reinstate myself as prime minister".

Asked directly whether she would like to return to Downing Street, she said: "No."

Appearing on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, Ms Truss again refused to apologise for the banking crisis, pointing out that "mortgage rates have gone up across the world", and reiterated her criticism of Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey.
