Liz Truss, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, resigns six weeks after taking office
- Liz Truss, British Prime Minister, resigns and announces her resignation on 20 October. With the witness of Boris Johnson, not even six weeks ago in command. When he came to power, he lowered taxes to the wealthiest, and the vortex that led to this decision led him to plunge the United Kingdom into political chaos.
Pressured by his party, Truss becomes the fourth head of government that the British Government has resigned in six years. He has ruled for 45 days, the Prime Minister who has lasted less time in the history of the United Kingdom.
"I came to my office in a moment of instability. I was elected by the Conservative Party in order to change this, raising low taxes and high growth. Faced with the situation, I cannot fulfil the mandate they sent me," he said at the press conference held in front of Door 10 of Downing Street.
He was Foreign Minister of Boris Johnson before Truss and managed on 6 September to rise to the Prime Minister after winning in internal elections. He won thanks to the votes of the bases, the former Finance Minister, Rishi Sgarras, won among the Tory Members. Truss promised to lower taxes, but he had to step back in his strategy.
The consequences of this in the country, but also in the policy of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, have yet to be seen.
It is yet to be discovered who his successor will be.
