That was fast. Liz Truss has resigned as prime minister of the U.K. Nick Eardley writes:
I've never seen anything like this. Let's be clear what's happened: yesterday Truss told us she was a fighter.
But the level of chaos in government, Parliament and the Conservative Party has led Truss to a point where she knows she can't continue.
What happens now is the quickest turnover of power we have seen in modern times.
This is a lightning speed change. The question is whether the Conservative Party can coalesce around a new leader and whether the party can avoid a general election.
In October we are going to have our third PM of the year.
She becomes the shortest serving prime minister in British history.
Her departure should serve as a warning to all conservatives.
