The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Trusshas announced its resignationwho has already notified King Carlos III, although he will remain at the head of the british government until a replacement is chosen. “It is the best decision to keep the UK in a stable economic condition,” he said in a Downing Street statement.

Truss has lived a “difficult” last day, as sources from Downing Street to the mainstream media. At least 17 deputies have asked him to resign for the political chaos of these weeks, marked by the practically total dismantling of the fiscal program announced by the Executive in September, according to the count of SkyNews.

“We have offered results in energy bills and lowering the social contribution. We have proposed a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit,” he said, before acknowledging that in the current situation he will not be able to meet his objectives .

Before appearing before the media, the ‘premier’ has met in Downing Street with her number two, Therese Coffeyconsidered his main ally within the Government, and also with the head of the ‘tory’ committee that can promote a motion of censure against her, Graham Brady.

Truss has announced his resignation 45 days after being appointed as British Prime Minister by Queen Elizabeth II. She has been the shortest female Prime Minister in UK history. She was on a tightrope since, on September 23, she presented her fiscal plan, with a massive tax cut that sowed chaos in the markets.
