News was released yesterday around lunch time that the Prime Minister, Liz Truss, was going to make a speech, with the speech beginning shortly after 1:30pm UK time.


In recent days, Truss faced backlash from her own MPs, as well as others from across Parliament, after fall out following the introduction of her Mini Budget, which threw the UK into a recession. The Mini Budget was first introduced by Kwasi Kwarteng, Liz Truss’ first Chancellor, on the 23rd of September.


Another new leader is meant to be in power within a week, with 100 people being required to nominate a each candidate. If one person gets 100 votes, they will become the new leader, but if two or three people get 100 votes, a private online poll will be held for Conservative MPs


Ms Truss’ resignation makes her the shortest serving Prime Minister in history — having served for just 44 days — pushing the previous shortest serving, a Georgian Prime Minister, George Canning, out of the line up, who died in office after serving for just 119 days.


It was only on the 19th of October when Ms Truss was releasing statements that she was a fighter and not a quitter.
