LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned — bowing to the inevitable after a tumultuous six-week term in which her policies triggered turmoil in financial markets and a rebellion in her party obliterated her authority.

She said “I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected.”
Just a day earlier Truss had vowed to stay in power, saying she was “a fighter and not a quitter.”
But Truss left Thursday after she was forced to abandon many of her economic policies and lost control of Conservative Party discipline.
Her departure leaves a divided party seeking a leader who can unify its warring factions.
Truss was NOT given a fair chance
Too much jealousy
Very sad
I feel for her.
She is no dumb blonde.
Just too nice
What a shame! Her version of trickle-down Reaganomics tax breaks for the very rich was a great idea.
Huge blow to the conservative party
They should have elected Kemi Badenoch.
She wanted to reduce taxes. But this is England. Not going to happen.
Certainly the big news story of the day.
And so are we still so proud about chucking Boris? For what? For some silly pety covid party violation? Like for real? She was supposed to be the modern day Iron lady! But oy vey Boris, he was a populist. Only nazis elect populist leaders. o we had to foind a petty thing to chuck him. Lets ignore the fact that he executed Brexit in the most effeicnt manner and achieved what others before him couldn’t.
