THAT WAS FAST: UK Prime Minister Liz Truss announces resignation. “Truss, who only became prime minister on Sept. 6, will be the shortest serving prime minister in modern political history.”

Well, one Tory MP claimed that Boris Johnson should return, as he is the only one with a mandate, adding that ‘it’ll look better than having three different PMs.’ Others are pushing Rishi Sunak, Boris’s chancellor who came runner-up to Truss in the last leadership election, believing that he is the only candidate that can sort out the economy.”
