Liz Truss held her new book upside down as she promoted it on American TV on Tuesday (16 April).

The former prime minister was speaking to Fox News about her decision to endorse Donald Trump when she attempted to plug her new memoir.

"Here's my new book!" Ms Truss said, beaming as she held the back cover up to the camera.

She then realised her mistake, flipping it and revealing the front, upside down.

Her book, Ten Years to Save the West, features several bizarre revelations from her short time in No 10.
