A Timeline of Liz Truss’s 45 Days as U.K. Prime Minister | WSJ

After chaos in the financial markets, members of Truss’s own party began to turn against her.

Liz Truss became the shortest-serving U.K. prime minister and the first since Winston Churchill to serve two monarchs when she resigned after just 45 days in power. WSJ’s David Luhnow explains how her premiership came crashing down. Photo illustration: Adele Morgan

I’m not a quitter, I’m a fighter
- Liz Truss

[stlouisluv]

How utterly humiliating. How she can show her face still after this is beyond me

[facitenonvictimarum]

Imagine dealing with her humiliation the rest of your life.

Following British politics is like Following a Comedy Series where no one know who is the protagonist or who is antagonist but both keeps on making lives of people worst

[dannysokov]

This sitcom never gets old. Hilarious.

Liz the Brief. That was way too perfect.

This is, I assume unintentionally, the funniest video I've seen on YouTube in months.

[miriamlevenson]

this is a PERFECT demonstration of how she’s a fighter and not a quitter. really proved her own point there

[willz]

Own up Truss, the lettuce was a formidable foe!

I think this is funny. She gets in, looks around and says to herself: what kind of mess did I get myself into? I am out. Boris needed many years to realize that. Funny....

The only thing I can compare this to is the 13 day shogun Akechi Mitsuhide. Look it up, different time period, different event, but the decision was awfully timed like this one.

Now the question becomes will UK finally elect a PM that knows what he/she is doing.

[c.w.simpsonproductions]

It’s quite poetic that the Queen’s reign started with one of the greatest PMs in UK and ended with one of the worst.

I hope we get another season of this tv show. Its absolutely bonkers and every character they introduce seems to die midway through the show

[richardlong]

This recent period of history has proven once again is not a fun time to be a leading political figure in most of the worlds governments because things are trending downward not upward.
