UK Prime Minister Liz Truss resignation: what happened in 45 daysTruss is the shortest-serving prime minister in Britain's history, and the third Conservative Party prime minister pushed out of office in as many years. Sterling rallies, Nov rate-hike bets scaled back as Liz Truss quits as PMSterling rallied on Thursday and investors reined in their bets on a big Bank of England interest rate hike in November as UK Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation just six weeks after she was appointed.

Could Boris Johnson stage an extraordinary political comeback? What about Rishi Sunak, the bookies’ favorite who fell to Liz Truss in the last contest?

The party is working on an astonishingly short time frame and plans to have their contest wrapped up in a week. The real lessons are first that the Conservatives ceased to be conservative in the three decades since Margaret Thatcher left office. No one has officially declared they are running but backers for the top three — and the new rules ensure there cannot be more than three — have started declaring their support.

The lettuce, complete with googly eyes and a blonde wig, was live streamed by British tabloid the Daily Star, asking: “Will Liz Truss outlast this lettuce?” Amid political turmoil, the vegetable became something of a celebrity and captivated the nation. The runner-up in the last leadership contest has been notably quiet himself, but his “Ready for Rishi” team has started cranking into gear.

Rishi’s charisma & wider appeal in the country means he is best placed to rebuild support for our Party,” wrote Nick Gibb, a Conservative Party lawmaker. Lawmakers are reportedly loath to repeat the drawn out process used to replace Boris Johnson earlier this year and Truss’ timeline rules this out, though it is not clear who will stand and who can unify the party, especially after the division of recent months.

Truss probably never had a chance. Johnson’s supporters want him to return from his plow — like the classical-era hero Cincinnatus brought back to deal with a crisis, whom Johnson referred to in his resignation speech. Advertisement Rumors are swirling that Johnson, who was the 55th British prime minister, might also want to be its 57th British prime minister.

It is not certain if anyone else could galvanize the population to the same extent — or if Johnson himself even still can. When Truss became prime minister, it was shallowly lamented that the country’s leader had not been chosen by the country. “One person was elected by the British public with a manifesto and a mandate until January ‘25.

To call one, a prime minister must formally seek one from the sovereign or the government must lose a formal confidence motion or a vote it has billed as a confidence issue. If Liz Truss is no longer PM there can be no coronation of previously failed candidates. MPs must demand return of .
