The former Prime Minister of Great Britain Liz Truss said that she does not want to be Prime Minister to the country again after saying last week that there was "unfinished business" with the Conservative Party, reported DPA and PA media, quoted by BTA.
The UK's shortest-serving prime minister has previously not ruled out being leader of the Conservative Party. "We should never dare to exclude anything in politics,", she declared.
In an interview with "Sky News on Sunday" today Truss also stated that her new book "is not an attempt to return to the post of prime minister". Asked directly if she would like to be in Downing Street again, she replied "No".
"The problems I faced during my tenure were related to the inability to deliver the program I set out because of the deep opposition to the status quo in the British economy," Truss said on the TV show "Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips" .
"I don't think it is right to suggest that I am responsible for British people paying higher mortgages," she said of the accusations against her related to high interest rates. "This is something that has happened in every country in the free world," she added.
Labour blames Truss for rising mortgage rates and foreclosures after her brief tenure in Downing Street. Trot, however, pointed a finger at the manager of the "Bank of England" about the turmoil in the market, DPA notes.
In the context of her criticism of the bank's governor - Andrew Bailey, Truss confirmed today that she had never met him. "I actually had an appointment and wanted to meet him but was advised it was a bad idea," she said.
"I didn't want to make this situation worse... In retrospect, yes, I probably should have talked to him directly at the time,'' Truss added, saying she only spoke to Bailey through the online platform "Zoom" ;.
