I have the book and am working my way through it. Utterly fascinating to read an informed account of just how batshit crazy the woman is.
One detail confirms a long held suspicion of mine - that the Sunak camp strongly preferred to have Truss as their opponent in the final membership ballot. Otherwise it would have been Penny Mordaunt and they didn't fancy their chances against her. They believed even the geriatric and deranged Tory members would not vote for someone so obviously unsuited to PM as Truss. So they arranged for some of their supporters among the MPs to switch their votes from Sunak to Truss, to make sure she edged out Mordaunt. In the end it came down to 5 MPs votes and Truss duly came second, and went into the final vote of members.
They didn't count on the brain dead Tory members preferring Truss.
Otherwise Mordaunt would likely have won the members' vote and the history of the last 2 years might have been very different. No crazy mini budget, no collapse of the economy, no Sunak premiership and a good chance the Tories would have won this year's election. Or at least not have have lost it as badly.
