As Liz Truss reportedly mounts a political comeback, broadcaster Piers Morgan has called for the return of Daily Star's own lettuce, the leafy hero that ...

Piers appeared hopeful of a return for the Daily Star lettuce, especially now that a close ally to Truss has revealed the ex-PM is "ready to speak about her time in office". [Piers Morgan](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/piers-morgan) has called for the return of the [Daily Star lettuce](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/daily-star-lettuce) after hearing news [ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/liz-truss) is could make a "big political comeback". Truss' return to frontline politics may be a bit hard to swallow after the ex-PM was outdone by a Mr Potato Head-looking lettuce on a livestream. He said: "Sunak and Hunt got things back on a rational track, but what’s really hard to measure is what it’s done for confidence in investing in the UK, combined with the uncertainty around corporation tax." [Tesco lettuce](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/tesco) with googly eyes, has left a sour taste in the mouth of Piers and the public, who reacted to the news about as well as could be expected. Others have re-joined a WhatsApp chat last used during her leadership campaign, but a high-ranking party source has laughed off claims that the shortest-serving PM, who was outlasted by a livestreamed lettuce, could make a return to the frontbenches. One user appeared to agree with Morgan, noting that "you would get more sense out of the lettuce" than that of the former Prime Minister. The planned return of ex-PM Truss prompted Piers to tweet: "I'd rather hear from the lettuce." A worrying update about the former prime minister, who lasted just 49 days in the top spot, suggests Truss is ready to return to frontline politics this Sunday when she could critique her successor Rishi Sunak's performance in the job.

The former prime minister is set to outline the 'policy agenda' she believes is required to stimulate the UK's economy in an article for a Sunday newspaper.

Just before Christmas she visited a gathering of centre-Right figures from across the globe in Washington DC. Instead, Ms Truss will use her influence around Westminster and the world to champion causes she is interested in. One source said: ‘There’s a lot going on behind the scenes.’

However, her own fiscal incontinence has damaged the lives of many millions of people she was supposed to protect. Future generations will be less prosperous as ...

which has increased because of her ineptitude. She is right that Britain needs a convincing plan for growth – to improve prosperity and living standards throughout society.

One ally of Ms Truss said the speech will be "hawkish", adding: "She's expected to address Sunak's decision to brand China a strategic competitor rather than a threat." She had been expected to officially re-designate China as a "threat" in official speak, instead of a "systemic competitor" during her leadership. The Conservative backbencher will later this month address a conference of international politicians in Japan, with her speech billed as centring on Beijing's threat to Taiwan. Ms Truss is expected to make a number of media appearances in the coming week, having kept a low profile since becoming the shortest-lived prime minister in history. [the Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rishi-sunak-trying-not-to-look-over-his-shoulder-06dwrqvfq), the ex-Prime Minister, ousted after just 50 days after a string of disasters, missteps and a mini-budget that threatened to crash the UK economy, thinks she has “lost the battle but this is a long game.”

Truss returns to the political fray via a newspaper comment piece - and the PM can't afford to ignore her.

Several different sources whisper that no one wants to do the job - one source tells me it's been suggested to three different MPs who have all said no, another MP says "no one wants to do it", not wanting to take the blame for an anticipated battering at the polls in the May local elections. And with the potential exit of Dominic Raab from government after an inquiry into his behaviour, which could report around the end of the month, No 10 might have to fill not one, but two jobs at the cabinet table - so best to wait. They add that "there are plenty of people in the party who will NEVER forgive her - she never turns up, and nobody cares". There's already an itchiness on the back benches about Mr Sunak's handling of the economy, and a rising demand for tax cuts that Ms Truss will help fuel. But remember, Conservative members did vote for her - and her ideas. But what she stood for remains, and can't be dismissed as a terrible political accident. Conservative MPs and some business groups reckon that, even with a microscope, it'd be pretty hard to find a convincing government plan to get the economy growing. First, Rishi Sunak's pitch to the country was to end the chaos and start anew. Like many in her tribe, Ms Truss has never been short of that priceless political quality: a brass neck. In certain Tory circles, that is the same as saying something very rude indeed. The shelf life of her premiership was compared, in real-time, with that of a wilting lettuce (it outlasted her). Liz Truss is set to return to the political fray, via a Sunday morning newspaper comment piece, just four months after her rapid exit from No 10.
