A news report from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Thursday indicated that the newly elected British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, had resigned barely 45 days in office.
BBC quoted a statement outside Downing Street as her resignation was due to her inability to deliver the mandate she was elected and that she had notified the King that she was resigning as Tory leader.
Truss said: “There will be Conservative leadership election to be completed within the next week-”
The Prime Minister’s resignation was made public after she met the chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench MPs as more Tories called for her to quit.
It would be recalled that Truss’s premiership had come under renewed pressure after the Chancellor and the Home Secretary resigned and a chaotic vote on fracking.
News reports indicated that there was fury on Wednesday evening around the vote and the methods used to get MPs to vote with the government.
