The former prime minister sent a six-page “cease and desist” letter accusing Starmer of harming her reputation and contributing to her losing her South West Norfolk seat in the general election.

Anything Starmer says in parliament is protected by parliamentary privilege, so I can only assume Truss's lawyers are as incompetent as she is.

If she wants to try to police whatever he says in any other contexts, good luck with that.
