Prime Minister Truss resigns after 44 days in office
According to Reuters, she was forced to backtrack on some campaign promises and replace the chancellor after a "mini-budget" presented in late September sparked panic in financial markets. Combined with Home Secretary Suella Braverman's resignation on Wednesday and MPs being divided in a vote, Truss may judge her government has been weakened and it is time to leave. She became the shortest-term prime minister in British history.
