Liz Truss has resigned as U.K. prime minister after a chaotic six weeks in office, saying she “cannot deliver the mandate” on which she was elected
“I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party,” Truss said in her statement Thursday. “I have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.”
But Truss’ premiership disintegrated Wednesday night amid chaotic scenes in the House of Commons, where party enforcers struggled to marshal mutinous Tory MPs in a crucial vote. Earlier in the day Truss had been forced to suspend one of her closest aides and sacked her home secretary, Suella Braverman, enraging her right-wing supporters.
Speaking to reporters in Westminster Thursday afternoon, Brady said the plan as agreed with Berry was to conclude the leadership election by October 28, meaning a new prime minister will be in placed before Hunt’s next big fiscal statement on October 31.— approximately 180,000 grassroots members
