United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Liz Truss, has resigned barely a month and some days of her inauguration.
She announced her resignation outside Downing Street, saying that she had told King Charles she is resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.
Truss was confirmed Prime Minister on 6 September, 2022.
Truss said she could not deliver the mandate on which she was elected as Tory leader and had notified the King that she was resigning.
She stated that she would remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.
Her decision came after she met the Chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench MPs as more Tories called for her to quit.
Her premiership came under renewed pressure after the Home Secretary resigned a few weeks ago and a chaotic vote on fracking.
There was fury on Wednesday evening around the vote and the methods used to get MPs to vote with the government.
Details shortly….
