Almost 100 days after she departed Downing Street as Britain's shortest-serving prime minister in history, Liz Truss is reportedly planning a political comeback.
The ex-premier made a visit to Washington DC before Christmas to attend a gathering of centre-right figures from across the world.
It's now emerged, in a string of private gatherings while she was across the Atlantic, that the 47-year-old told US politicians she remained determined to rouse Britain from economic stagnation.
According to the US website Politico, Liz Truss also made it understood that she didn't trust her beneficiary, Rishi Sunak, to do the job.
Liz Truss's time in No 10 was overwhelmed by economic upheaval in the wake of her tax-cutting mini-Budget, which has since been almost entirely junked by Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, but while it's claimed she admitted blunders in the way she pushed forward with her economic objectives, Liz Truss isn't said to have shied away from her low tax agenda on her US trip.
The website reported that Liz Truss told Kevin Hern, a member of the US House of Representatives, that she wanted to form a similar body to the Republican Study Committee, an influential body in Washington.
Mr Hern said that she expressed a desire for such a faction at Westminster to accommodate all of their ideas into a collaborative group, in order to hold the present Prime Minister accountable.
He also revealed that Liz Truss floated the Conservative Growth Group as a name.
This month, a group of two dozen MPs supportive of Liz Truss were said to have assembled in Parliament, with the ex-Prime Minister in attendance to form a group of the same name.
Another US political figure who spoke to Liz Truss on her December trip told Politico she voiced fears that Britain's conservative movement could vanish entirely as she warned about Tory's electoral prospects.
Sir Jake Berry, who serves as Tory chairman under Liz Truss and who accompanied her on her US trip, told the website that the party had failed over a considerable duration of time to justify why they were conservatives in an effective way.
Liz Truss's attendance at the International Democrat Union forum in Washington last month was at the invitation of its chairman, ex-Canadian PM Stephen Harper.
A supporter of Liz Truss told a newspaper outlet that she'd used the visit to touch base with other centre-right figures in a string of private gatherings, as she reminisced on her time in No 10.
Unfortunately, she's a below-average woman who believes she has what it takes to be at the top with the best of the best, and hasn't she caused enough damage? She must be delusional.
I'd love to know what she smokes even if it's just to warn teenagers to avoid it at all costs, and this woman evidently needs therapy of some sort. She's not fit for office or even an MP.
I think that being described as the worst Prime Minister this country has ever had should probably tell her that she should take her marching orders seriously, and most people in her situation would have hidden under a rock for the rest of their lives, but that's shameless politicians for you.
And who are we really fooling? A comeback, she never really started, but then she's another deluded Tory headbanger who just doesn't get it - they're the problem, not the country, and not the people who live in it.
