If this is true, she should be placed under restraint by men in white coats.Thing is, it's totally believable. Meanwhile, slimy Kwarteng attempts implausible deniability.

I'm afraid that the men in white coats might take me if I tried to explain who Liz Truss was and that she was the prime minister and what she did.
would have won the most recent GE.
And the tories failed over 14 years because of blairite brownite business as usual.
I expect someone will chop the interview up into the highlights eventually. Same theme though, still everyone else's fault.
Apparently she has just said that the Tories would have won the last election if she'd remained PM.
A padded cell awaits.

In 30 years' time no one will have a scooby doo about how she got into no. 10. To be honest, I'm struggling now to understand how it happened.

As well as Truss and Sunak you had the following running to replace Johnson: Penny Mordaunt, Kemi Badenoch, Tom Tugendhat, Suella Braverman, Nadhim Zahawi and Jeremy Hunt. I've listed them in the inverse order of elimination so you can judge for yourself why some of them got knocked out early.
The thing you have to remember about Tory leadership elimination rounds is that skulduggery is perfectly plausible and early frontrunners can peel off their supporters to lend votes elsewhere, making sure that a difficult rival doesn't make it to the final round of member votes. It's a secret ballot so impossible to tell but Truss may have only been there because Sunak didn't want to face the more competent Mordaunt.
As for why the bulk of the MPs thought Sunak would be a good bet in the first place, who knows?
She really does have only one face to chose from

There were a few of them rather displeased with boris many antics and his grubbing for pm before he nudged may out. So the obvious and oblivious boris acolyte was promoted early door by his many enemies to give him another shoeing by association. She wonderfully and woefully obliged. Then dorries got her comeuppance and started crying about it in public. truss got busted out as an mp at the GE, why is there so much furore around her mind-meltingly stupid opinions on anything now?
Fortunately the morons fighting it out to be leader from sunak are all damaged good themselves already, and the infighting in their den of thieves and liars seems set to continue to poison the next act in this tragedy of alleged humanity.
How will the three that fail for leader cope with being two time losers? Who's card is marked with the older heads at the top table? I can see some defections to reform coming. Promises unfulfilled and alliances broken, "I'll show you a tory minority parliamentary party!".
Her getting the top job was eye opener on how clueless the tory membership really is, clueless is putting nicely
I actually feel short changed. Could you imagine the gold mine of footage and quotes from her during a general election campaign?
We are resigned to revisiting "pork markets", "disgraceful cheese imports", and "barking dogs deter drones" when we want a laugh.

TBF if candidate selection had been up to local constituencies rather than being effectively centralized (as it was under Cameron) then she'd never have gotten that seat to begin with. Nearly all the dangers in that party got there because of that system.
Reading a book by Jon Moynihan at the moment (he's in the Lords (somehow)). He's both a Brexiter and a Truss devotee (he thinks the BoE done her over). The book is on how the country can get back on track. While there are one or two good suggestions (especially around pensions and planning), there's a whole lot of the book riling against forens and the wokerati. Quite an insight.
