Responding to the Fox News segment, one person said, “Congratulations on being able to spin her book the right way.”

A second said: ‘Keep it up Liz, have a laugh.’

A third wrote: ‘She turned the UK economy upside down before it crashed. It is not surprising that she does the same with her book.’

In the new book, a memoir, Ms Truss summarizes her 49 days in office before stepping down as prime minister.

The MP, the last of the 15 prime ministers to serve Queen Elizabeth II, also reveals how she was advised by the monarch to ‘pace’ herself.

In her memoirs, the ex-prime minister admits that she did not listen to the queen’s advice.
