By The Conversation Liz Truss announced her resignation on October 20 2022, 44 days after taking office. The departure makes her the UK's shortest-serving prime minister. But who did she replace to earn this undesirable accolade? The previous holder of this title was George Canning, who lasted more than twice as long as Truss. He died in office after a premiership of 119 days. Known by many as the "lost leader" because of his short tenure, Canning still left his mark on British political history. He is one of only four prime ministers to have a statue in Parliament Square, the others being Ben...

By The Conversation Liz Truss's resignation as the leader of the Conservative party immediately triggers a contest to replace her as prime minister. After the turmoil of recent months, it has been decided that the contest will be short and sharp. Candidates will need the backing of 100 of their fellow Conservative MPs to run by Monday, which means there will be a maximum of three candidates. A successor will be announced in one week. A new prime minister will therefore be in place by October 28. Liz Truss resigns. This is how the field stands so far. Jeremy HuntJeremy Hunt took over as chancel...

By The Conversation As Liz Truss stepped away from the lectern outside No.10 Downing Street after resigning as leader of her party, it probably occurred to her that her time as prime minister will have been only as long as the leadership campaign that got her there. When Boris Johnson walked away from No.10 there was a sense in the United Kingdom that the time had come for stability, competence and the benefits of a boring politician who could steady the ship of state. Truss's sea legs have proved remarkably shaky. She has pulled off arguably the biggest coup in British political history by ma...

By Mohammed Kudrati In a swan song to a tumultuous tenure British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced that she is resigning after holding office for just 45 days as the United Kingdom's shortest serving prime minister. She made the announcement for the same outside her office at 10 Downing Street. Her short-lived premiership also presided over a generational shift in the British monarchy after Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8. She will continue to be in office for another week as her party dashes to find her successor. The method for this is yet to be spelt out on how they will fin...

By The Conversation Leaders are watched. They are scrutinised. If you don't like the idea of being held accountable and having to answer for your actions then a leadership role is probably not for you. I don't know if such thoughts have ever occurred to Liz Truss, who is still, at the time of writing, Britain's prime minister. But perhaps the truth is beginning to dawn on her. She has picked the wrong time and place to discover that leadership may not be quite her thing.

By The Conversation Liz Truss is set to be confirmed as the new British prime minister after a lengthy and intense leadership contest against former chancellor Rishi Sunak. But the UK faces significant economic problems this autumn that might leave the new PM wishing she hadn't fought so hard for the job. Truss appealed to the members of the Conservative party – the people eligible to vote in the contest – thanks to the simplicity of her message: she promised to cut taxes, get rid of EU laws, reverse the national insurance increase and put a moratorium on the green energy levy, which sees cons...

By The Conversation The United Kingdom's next prime minister will be Liz Truss. After a two-month contest, Conservative Party members have chosen her as their new leader. All that remains is for Truss to travel to Balmoral in Scotland where she will be formally invited by the Queen to form a government. Truss will become the Conservatives' fourth leader and prime minister in just over six years. She's Queen Elizabeth's fifteenth prime minister, and the third woman to hold the job. Her rapid rise to the top started in 2010 when she was first elected to Parliament. Four years later, she joined D...

By The Conversation Conservative MPs in the UK parliament have selected former chancellor Rishi Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss as the final two candidates in the competition to become the next leader of their party.
