Liz Truss re-selected as Conservative candidate in South West Norfolk

Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has been chosen to stand as an MP again, at the next General Election.

She says she's 'delighted' to have been formally re-selected as the Tory candidate in South West Norfolk by the South West Norfolk Conservative Association.

After a meeting of party members in Swaffham, the former prime minister said she was "delighted" to have been chosen to fight a fifth campaign in the constituency.

"Thanks to my local association for their ongoing support and I look forward in due course to us fighting a fifth general election together," she tweeted.

After the collapse of her chaotic 49-day premiership, Ms Truss recently returned to the political fray with a speech warning of the threat from China.

She was previously criticised for a 4,000-word newspaper article in which she blamed the failure of her government on a powerful left-wing "economic establishment".
