Liz Truss

“Liz Truss said on Thursday she would resign as prime minister, brought down by her economic programme that sent shockwaves through the markets and divided her Conservative Party just six weeks after she was appointed. A leadership election will be completed within the next week to replace Truss, who is the shortest serving prime minister in Britain's history.” (Reuters)

The left is encouraged by Truss’s resignation and calls for a new election.

The right worries that Truss’s failures will make it harder for Britain to adopt supply-side reforms.
