The controversial bat bridges on the A11 have come under fire from Liz Truss in her new book… but the former prime minister appears to have misunderstood their purpose.

The South West Norfolk MP fires broadsides at many institutions in her newly released memoir Ten Years to Save the West, chronicling her brief Downing Street tenure.

But, along with criticising the Treasury and the Bank of England over their actions during her ill-fated 49 days as prime minister - during which she unveiled a tax-cutting policy agenda which tanked the pound - she finds room to slam six bat bridges installed when the A11 was dualled.

    Nobody should give a shit what that most inconsequential and shortest tenured, most failure prone of British PMs ever says or thinks.

      Her journey into absolute batshit far-right nonsense would be mildly entertaining if it wasn’t for the fact that the media want to give her more attention again.

      But honestly, I’ve rarely experienced watching someone be so intentionally dim before. It’s fascinating.
