British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned after just 45 days in office, ten of which were spent observing the national period of mourning for the death of Queen Elizabeth II. And the United Kingdom plunges back into chaos.

Truss was the fifteenth and last prime minister under the reign of Elizabeth II and the first under that of Charles III.

🔴 In conferenza stampa Truss ha detto che il suo successore sarà scelto nel giro di una settimana nel Partito Conservatore.

Nei giorni scorsi si era dimessa la ministra dell'Interno, Suella Braverman, mentre era stato sostituito quello dell'Economia, Kwasi Kwarteng.

The announcement, made by Truss outside the famous door at number 10 Downing Street, came as little surprise, given the collapse of her political authority. She had lost two key members of her cabinet, Kwasi Kwarteng, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (the British equivalent of our finance minister), and Suella Braverman as Home Secretary, had roiled the markets, and had lost the confidence of almost all her MPs.

Truss will be the prime minister with the shortest tenure in the history of the United Kingdom.
