This morning Truss announced her resignation this morning after 45 days in office which make her the shortest-serving head of state in British history. The reason for the resignation was the mini-budget she and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng unveiled last month which tackled the country’s cost-of-living crisis while lowering taxes and limiting public spending. The budget ended the country’s economic system and drew condemnation from the libertarian economists and think tanks that had inspired it.
