Bombshell news: After just 44 disastrous days at No. 10, Liz made her way to a lectern outside the famous black door to confirm her departure, sealing her fate as the shortest-serving Prime Minister in modern political history
After just 44 disastrous days at No. 10, Liz made her way to a lectern outside the famous black door to confirm her departure, sealing her fate as the shortest-serving prime minister in modern political history.
Revealing that she had informed the King of her decision, she said: “I cannot fulfill the mandate… I will remain Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.”
Liz – who insisted she was a “fighter and not a slacker” just under 24 years ago – said the Tory leadership contest will conclude next week.
The bombastic news followed a week of carnage that included a confusing series of about-faces on the mini-budget, the chancellor and home secretary resigning, confusion over whether the chief whip had followed her out the door and MPs faltering at votes lobbies wrestled in the House of Commons.
Liz Truss’ full resignation statement
I took office at a time of great economic and international instability.
Families and businesses worried about how to pay their bills.
Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our entire continent.
And our country has been held back by low economic growth for too long.
I was elected by the Conservative Party with a mandate to change that.
We’ve delivered on the utility bills and the cut in Social Security.
And we envisioned a low-tax, high-growth economy that would leverage the freedoms of Brexit.
However, I recognize that given the situation, I am unable to exercise the mandate to which I was elected by the Conservative Party.
I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to let him know that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.
This morning I met the Chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady.
We have agreed that there will be a leadership election next week.
This will ensure we stay on track to implement our budget plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security.
I will remain prime minister until a successor is elected.
Many Thanks.
