Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has been linked with hosting her own show on GB News.

The MP for South West Norfolk replaced Boris Johnson as PM on September 6 last year - two days before the death of The Queen - but lasted just 49 days in office, resigning after a disastrous "mini-budget" which was met by disapproval from the financial markets.

Since returning to the backbenches, Truss has given a number of keynote speeches around the world warning against "anti-growth" economic policies, and has also been a vocal critic of her successor Rishi Sunak's Windsor Framework deal with the EU.

According to Kevin Maguire writing for The New Statesman, the 47-year-old could be set to launch a media career with a show for the right-leaning broadcaster GB News.

The newspaper says that Truss "set tongues wagging" when she attended a parliamentary event hosted by GB News this week and is now "fancying a presenting gig".

A number of Conservative politicians past and present already host shows for the channel, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, Lee Anderson, Esther McVey, Philip Davies and Michael Portillo.

Other GB News presenters involved with politics include Nigel Farage, Dame Arlene Foster, Laurence Fox and Gloria De Piero.
