This makes her one of the shortest serving Prime Ministers ever. Yes, liz truss has been in her job for just 44 days. She says she will resign but stay in office until a new Prime Minister is chosen. This news comes just days after her new finance minister reversed most of her planned tax cuts. It essentially cancelled all of her economic agenda that many hoped would signal a radical policy shift for britain. Instead it pushed the country into economic turmoil, driving down the value of the pound. Given the situation, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. I, therefore, have spoken to his majesty the king to notify him that i will resigning as leader of the conservative party. Public and opposition from lawmakers in her own party, because britain elects a party and not a specific leader, truss will be replaced by another law maker from her ruling conservative party.
