20, 2022, in London. “We set out a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit. I recognize, though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party,” Truss said.

“I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.” After the speech, the Daily Star livestream put a crown on top of the lettuce and lowered the photo of Truss as the national anthem played and disco lights flashed. YouTube / Via youtube.com Truss was elected in September to be the new leader of the party and the third woman to lead Britain. She was sworn in as prime minister by the Queen just days before her death.

Truss's resignation is just the latest in a turbulent year for British politics, with former UK PM Boris Johnson resigning in July after a mass exodus of support from 50 members of Parliament supporting him. James Graham @mrJamesGraham A Prime Minister may fall today.

23, the government unveiled a “mini-budget” with a series of economic proposals that sent markets into a frenzy, raising mortgages for millions and proposing unfunded tax cuts. The pound fell to its lowest rate ever against the US dollar. Truss will remain as PM until a successor has been chosen, she said.
