Liz Truss resigns as UK prime minister after 44 days

VOICE AIR MEDIA

Liz Truss has resigned as prime minister just 44 days after taking over from Boris Johnson.

She will be the shortest-serving prime minister in history.

In a statement read; outside Downing Street, Ms Truss said: “I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability.

“Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills.”

She said she was elected “with a mandate to change this”, adding: “We delivered on energy bills.”

” I recognise, though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party,” she said.

“I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.

“This morning, I met the chairman of the 1922 committee, Sir Graham Brady. We’ve agreed that there will be a leadership election to be completed within the next week.”

Ms Truss will remain as PM until her successor has been chosen.

Her resignation came just a little over 24 hours after she told MPs she was a “fighter, not a quitter”. CONTINUE READING…
