▍原文
The U.K. prime minister's residence in Downing Street was infested with fleas, former PM Liz Truss charges in her new memoir.

Truss, who had the shortest tenure as leader in British history at just 49 days, made the revelation in her new book, "Ten Years to Save the West".

"The place was infested with fleas," Truss wrote. "The entire place had to be sprayed with flea killer. I spent several weeks itching."
