Liz Truss has accused Kemi Badenoch of 'repeating spurious narratives' rather than telling the truth about Tory failures.
The former prime minister said she believes the Tory Party will be in 'serious trouble' unless it starts to admit failures over the economy and human rights during its last spell in government.
It follows Mrs Badenoch's remarks that Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves were making 'even bigger mistakes' than Ms Truss had in her mini-Budget in September 2022 – a month before she quit No 10.
'It is disappointing that instead of serious thinking like this, Kemi Badenoch is instead repeating spurious narratives,' Ms Truss wrote in the Telegraph.
'I suspect she is doing this to divert from the real failures of 14 years of Conservative government in which her supporters are particularly implicated.'
