Having served only 44 days so far, U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss says she will leave office next week once a successor is chosen in a new leadership contest.
Prime Minister Liz Truss will become the shortest-ever serving prime minister, after the financial market volatility resulting from her mini-budget proposals led to a revolt by members of her own political party.
The duration in office did exceed that of former U.S. President Trump’s former White House press secretary Anthony Scaramucci. “Our country has been held back for too long by low economic growth. I was elected by the Conservative Party with a mandate to change this. We delivered on energy bills, on cutting national insurance and we set out a vision for a low tax high growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit,” she said in a short statement.
The longest serving U.K. prime minister is Sir Robert Walpole, who was in the post for one term lasting almost 21 years back in 1721. It ended with his resignation in 1741 after a poor general election result. What next? Recent polling has found Conservative party members want former PM Boris Johnson to take over from Truss again.
