Liz Truss gone: Who will become the UK’s new prime minister?

A leadership election will be completed within the next week to choose a successor to Liz Truss after she announced her resignation following just 45 days in office, and became the shortest-serving prime minister in British history.

Given the divisions in the ruling Conservative Party, there is no obvious candidate and any replacement would face a country which is probably heading into a recession.

Al Jazeera's Neave Barker reports from London.

The English keep doing the same thing, over and over, hoping for a different result, but everything always ends in ruin. Their judgment isn't exactly trustworthy.

A person of indian origin like Rishi Sunak can fix

The Tories are pathetic! Bringing back an unfit leader because he can save their jobs. Start thinking about your country and citizens!

Oh, c'mon! BoJo is outdone by himself! He just doesn't know it as yet. You could as well borrow Herschel Walker from Georgia, USA. No real difference.

As a Brit it's wonderful not having a country of my own. I love that my country just belongs to the entire planet. In my head I tell myself that this is natural and normal.
