The wooden monstrosity was specially made for her at a cost of £4,175 to taxpayers. But it was left languishing in Downing Street as she only lasted 49 days as Prime Minister after she tanked the economy. Now the Mirror can reveal that the higgledy-piggledy pile of bricks is no longer gathering dust and has been given a new lease of life. It has been moved to the offices of Homes England, the government body tasked with increasing housebuilding. Labour said the "tainted" lectern would serve as a permanent reminder of the Conservative Party's impact on the housing market. A Government source said: 'It is longstanding practice that lecterns are used and repurposed including in other government buildings. This has happened in this case.' The eye-catching lectern was used by Miss Truss when she addressed the nation following the death of the Queen. She also stood behind it at an awkward press conference after she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor in a desperate bid to save her premiership and as she announced her resignation in Downing Street. Earlier this year, Ms Truss claimed it was 'unfair' for struggling families to blame her for soaring mortgage rates. She was forced out of Downing Street after she announced a tax-cutting bonanza, with giveaways for the super-rich. The carnage sent the pound tumbling and mortgage rates soaring - as pension funds came close to collapse. She had to U-turn on nearly all her plans and sacked Mr Kwarteng, but was still forced out by Tory MPs. She is the shortest-serving PM in British history. Asked earlier this year if she regretted running for the top job, Ms Truss said: 'No, I don't regret it.' But she said 'no' when questioned on whether she would l){kind=link}

Liz Truss’s £4,000 “Jenga” lectern has finally found a new home almost a year after she was booted out of No10.
The wooden monstrosity was specially made for her at a cost of £4,175 to taxpayers.
But it was left languishing in Downing Street as she only lasted 49 days as Prime Minister after she tanked the economy.
Now the Mirror can reveal that the higgledy-piggledy pile of bricks is no longer gathering dust and has been given a new lease of life.
