Truss QUITS after just 44 days in No10: PM admits defeat after crisis talks with Tory chiefs over flood of MP no-confidence letters – with a replacement to be chosen in a WEEK and Jeremy Hunt ruling himself out… but Mordaunt’s campaign up and running.
Liz Truss has dramatically resigned as PM after a flood of no-confidence calls from Conservative MPs.
Just 44 days after taking the keys to No10 Ms Truss declared that a replacement will be chosen within a week
Mini-Budget fallout caused chaos and the situation has spiralled out of control over the past few days.
Utter chaos was seen in the House of Commons division lobbies last night as Tories rowed over crunch vote.
Suella Braverman quit as Home Secretary admitting protocol breach by sending email on immigration policy.
Ms Truss has told the Commons yesterday: ‘I am a fighter not a quitter’ as she faced Starmer in a fierce PMQs.

Liz Truss dramatically quit today, admitting defeat following crisis talks with Tory chiefs in Downing Street and with MPs in open insurrection.
After just 44 disastrous days in No10, the PM took to a lectern outside the famous black door to confirm her departure, sealing her fate as the shortest-serving premier in modern political history.
Revealing she had informed the King of her decision, she said: ‘I cannot deliver on the mandate…. I will remain as PM until a successor has been chosen.’
Ms Truss – who insisted she was a ‘fighter not a quitter’ barely 24 hours ago – said the Tory leadership contest will be completed over the next week. Giving her valedictory statement, she was watched by husband Hugh.
Attention immediately turns to the leadership battle – with Jeremy Hunt ruling himself out within minutes. However, Penny Mordaunt’s campaign Twitter account has already fired up, while Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman are thought likely to run. Boris Johnson, currently on holiday in the Caribbean, could bid for a shock return just six weeks after he left office.

Sorry about the linked media, as The Daily Mail is utter garbage.
Having said that though, to know what the other side (as in the MSM) is promoting) I like to keep my friends close and my enemies closer.
