Liz Truss, the Prime Minister of Britain, resigned today after 45 days in power, the shortest term for a British Prime Minister. Her economic programme had sent shockwaves through the markets and divided her Conservative Party just six weeks after she was appointed over Rishi Sunak.
‘Given the situation, I cannot carry out the mandate for which I was elected…I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen,’ Ms Truss told reporters today.
Ms Truss announced her resignation less than 24 hours after she said, ‘I am a fighter and not a quitter’, in response to MPs who criticised her. ‘I am someone who is prepared to front up. I’m prepared to take the tough decisions,’ she said yesterday.
Ms Truss’ chaotic premiership was mortally wounded despite having barely begun. Discounting 10 days of mourning for the late Queen Elizabeth II, Ms Truss had only a week before her political programme imploded, leading to the sacking of her Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng.
