In her upcoming memoir, portions of which were today serialised in the Mail, the former prime minister wrote: ‘The place was infested with fleas. The entire place had to be sprayed with flea killer. I spent several weeks itching.’
According to Truss, Boris Johnson’s dog Dilyn was thought to be the source of the infestation, but she admitted there was ‘no conclusive evidence’ to prove this was the case.
Truss says she ordered new furniture to the residence, but was ‘evicted’ before it could be delivered- a curious choice of words, given neither she nor her family had any claim to the property after her ousting in October 2022.
In her upcoming memoir, which hits shelves in the UK and US next week, Truss reportedly also takes a swipe at the British financial establishment for not backing her budget proposals.
These included more than £45 billion of unfunded tax cuts for the UK’s wealthiest earners, something described at the time by one senior Conservative MP as a form of ‘libertarian jihad’ on the economy.
The former prime minister is reported to have hit back in her book by describing the Treasury, the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility as a ‘three-headed hydra’.
She also, inexplicably, accuses the three institutions of being hellbent on pursuing a ‘pro-China’ policy.
Though Truss’s rhetoric in the book may appear somewhat extreme, it perhaps speaks to some of the company she has kept since leaving office.
The ex-PM has publicly courted far-right global figures in recent months, notably while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland earlier in February.
Fellow guests at the event included a US senator who once refused to concede that white nationalists are by their very nature racist, as well as a representative of an ultra-conservative Japanese cult whose followers regard their leader as a supreme being from the planet Venus.
At the conference, Truss was seen to appear on a broadcast with Steven Bannon, founder of far-right media outlet Breitbart and a former strategist for disgraced ex-president Donald Trump.

During the printed, she claimed to have been pressured to resign from her publish due to a plot by the ‘deep state’.
She added: ‘People are joining the civil service who are essentially activists. They might be trans activists, they might be environmental extremists, but they are now having a voice within the civil service in a way I don’t suppose was true 30 or 40 years in the past.’
Calls have since been made by UK opposition figures for Rishi Sunak to withdraw the Conservative Party whip from Truss.
Jonathan Ashworth, a shadow Cabinet Office minister, mentioned: ‘It is anyone’s guess what Liz Truss thinks she is as much as, however we now know that she is spending her time hanging out with a weird cast-list of far-right characters (and) spreading conspiracy theories.
‘By allowing her to bring these divisive, deluded and dangerous views into mainstream British politics, the Tory party is poisoning public discourse.’
