UK Prime Minister, Liz Truss, resigned on Thursday after just six weeks in office following her tumultuous start as the country’s economy is in crisis.
GazetteLive reported:
Her departure comes after a series of u-turns following former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous mini-budget which eventually saw him replaced by Jeremy Hunt.
Beginning what was to be a tense evening for the Conservative Party, outgoing Home Secretary Suella Braverman criticised PM Liz Truss in a blistering resignation letter as she left her post on Wednesday, to be replaced by Grant Shapps.
There will now be a fresh Conservative leadership election lasting just a week.
Here is video of the Prime Minister’s announcement.
