After just 44 days in office, Liz Truss announced her resignation as UK Prime Minister on Thursday. For several days her situation in Downing Street seemed increasingly untenable and her departure was expected. However, Liz Truss and her entourage sought to stay the course and drown the fish until the very last moment.
“No changes are planned. The prime minister will continue beyond October 31,” a spokesperson for Liz Truss announced Thursday.
October 31 was to be the date for the full presentation of the Tory leader’s budget plan, after the clamor for the first program.
“national interest”
“I am a fighter, not someone who gives up,” Liz Truss launched this Wednesday on the bench of the House of Commons.
Very combative, she then sought both to defend her policy in the face of jeers and calls for the resignation of the Labor opposition and to convince the Conservative ranks of her ability to remain in Downing Street.
This Tuesday he had recognized errors during the presentation of his “mini-budget”, a crisis that accelerated his fall. However, Liz Truss had already ruled out resigning citing “the national interest.”
