Liz Truss was forced to resign as Britain’s prime minister on October 20, 2022, after Conservative Party members of parliament lost confidence in her leadership. It marks the end of the shortest prime minister term in modern British history. Her announcement came days after her government U-turned on its plan to tackle a cost-of-living crisis through massive borrowing, while slashing taxes. Truss’ fate was sealed following the sacking of several ministers in recent days, leading a dozen of Tory MPs to call for new leadership.
