UK: Prime Minister Truss resigns (video)

Watch the video: British Prime Minister Liz Truss announces her resignation.

The pressure was immense, and now British Prime Minister Liz Truss has declared hers after around six weeks. She will remain in office until a successor has been appointed, the conservative politician said in London on Thursday. “I recognize that in this situation I am unable to fulfill the mandate by which I was elected by the Conservative Party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to inform him that I am resigning as Conservative Party leader. ” Truss only succeeded Boris Johnson at the beginning of September, who resigned after several scandals and scandals under pressure from his own party. Truss has been fighting for her political survival in office since mid-September after she triggered a fiasco on the financial markets with her tax cut plans and felt compelled to turn around. In her party, resentment and resistance against her grew. According to polls, the Conservatives are about 30 percentage points behind the opposition Labor Party. At the research institute YouGov, Truss is the most unpopular head of government since the surveys began.
