Liz Truss is to resign as prime minister after just six weeks, Sky News understands.
Her time in office has been dominated by market chaos prompted by the mini-budget that was announced by former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng last month.

She simply was not prepared.
Well, so was Elizabeth I and she accorded herself rather well as a Tudor. Mary and Elizabeth had different mothers. Maybe father wasn’t the issue???
Larry the Cat to get yet another PM.
That was an original Star Trek episode.
True, let's just say we are in gig heap trouble. Even with a GOP House and Senate we have McCarthy and McConnell leading, which isn't comforting. Good bright people don't get involved in political office because it's simply not worth the trouble if you are honest and want to serve and not cash in like most pols.
>>>Bring back Winston Churchill.<<<
The Brits didn’t really want him in the first place. And he was voted out of office by the public in July 1945. If I recall he was at Yalta with Roosevelt and Stalin when it occurred. The British population rewards success in a funny way. However Churchill did regain his position as PM in 1951 and kept it through 1955. Cheers.
There is still Hapsburg blood on the Throne of “Merry Old”.
May it swing like a pendulum do.

But of course, Labour failed, and Churchill was back in 1950.
Maybe she’s giving up due to an upcoming reckless covert or clandestine offensive that top elements of NATO, Biden, and the west’s deep state have planned against Putin. UK’s Def Sec flew to the Pentagon just last night, I believe.
lol
Um...he’s dead. Sorry to give the news.
