Liz Truss resigns, has lost party confidence. All this after 44 days, a negative record in the United Kingdom
Liz Truss resigned dramatically today, admitting defeat following Downing Street crisis talks with Tory bosses. After just 44 days at number 10 – the shortest term in modern political history – the premier sat down at a lectern in front of the famous black door to confirm his departure.
Claiming to have informed the King of his decision, he said: “I cannot apply the warrant…. I will remain as prime minister until a successor is chosen ”. He said the Tory leadership race, complementary to the post of Prime Minister, will take place over the next week, he said.
The bombshell follows 24 hours of carnage that saw the Interior Minister resign, confusion over whether Chief Whip followed her out the door and MPs fighting in the House of Commons election lobbies. He held crisis talks with 1922 President Graham Brady, Deputy Prime Minister Therese Coffey, and Conservative President Jake Berry in the building earlier, as they conveyed a sad message about the party mood.
Conservative MPs are publicly demanding that Truss leave
Ministers loyal to her and deputies from her current had already advised her to resign, also because by now it had become a kind of puppet government in the hands of Jeremy Hunt. A beautiful disaster that is unlikely to lead to voting simply because, in that case, the Tories would take a sharp punishment. Now Jeremy Hunt's current will collide with Johnson's brexiters, but at this moment Hunt has denied his run to lead the Conservatives. Nobody wants the hot potato
