Truss accused of fabricating Rothschild quote in memoir

Liz Truss has been accused of using a “fabricated” quote from Mayer Amschel Rothschild in her bombshell new memoir. The Board of Deputies of British Jews said a “fabricated” quote, attributed to the German-Jewish banker and founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty, had been used by the former prime minister in her recently published book Ten Years to Save the West.

The body said it had written to her publisher Biteback, which it said has consequently been forced to apologise and promised to remove the quote for the ebook and any future print editions. The ex-Tory leader wrote in her book, which was released on Tuesday: “If only the words attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild of the famous banking family had been heeded: ‘Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.’”
