Former Prime Minister Liz Truss is scheduled to release a new book next week titled 'Liz Truss’s Bank Job.' The book, which features a cover design depicting the former leader alongside shadowy figures, aims to provide her account of the economic events that occurred during her time in office. The subtitle, 'A Short Book on How the Bank of England Broke the Bond Market and Brought Down the Government,' indicates that the text will focus on her criticism of the central bank's influence on her administration's collapse.

While the book is presented as a political memoir or analysis, its aesthetic presentation has drawn comparisons to the genre of British gangster films. The publication arrives as part of a broader trend of former political leaders releasing books to frame their legacies. The core contention of the book is that the Bank of England, rather than her own fiscal policies, was the primary driver of the market volatility that led to her resignation. Critics and political commentators have begun to weigh in on the book's premise, with some questioning the framing of the narrative and the stylistic choices made for the cover art.
