Former prime minister Liz Truss claims Michael Gove, James Cartlidge and Mel Stride helped bring down her government in 2022, according to her new book Bank Job, out Monday. She suggests the three Sunak backers attacked her publicly after possibly being promised cabinet jobs. Truss also argues the Bank of England's gilt sales, not her mini-budget, sparked the market crisis that ended her 49-day premiership.
