Liz Truss has been formally re-selected by the South West Norfolk Conservative Association as their candidate for the next UK general election.
After a meeting of party members in Swaffham, the former British prime minister said she was “delighted” to have been chosen to fight a fifth campaign in the constituency.
Delighted to have been re-selected as Conservative candidate for South West Norfolk. Thanks to my local association for their ongoing support and I look forward in due course to us fighting a fifth general election together. https://t.co/b3FxrcLy6s

“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 hawkish 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”.
