An old snap has re-emerged of Prime Minister Liz Truss which has given some members of the Shadow Cabinet some easy ammunition for jokes to tell her she's 'toast'. This comes as Truss announced her resignation after just 44 days in Downing Street and called for a new Conservative Leader election, following a very difficult time in office.
Her resignation comes after a tumultuous few weeks, which saw the PM send former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng packing after a disastrous mini-budget tanked the pound in the financial markets. But things got even worse for the Government yesterday (September 19) when it was revealed that her Home Secretary Suella Braverman had sent an official document from her personal email. The ex-Cabinet minister then resigned, taking a departing shot at the Prime Minister in a letter claiming she had "concerns about the direction of this government".
All of this was followed by a Commons vote last night on fracking, during which accusations were thrown around about bullying of Conservative MPs as there was mixed messaging on whether the vote would be a confidence vote in the government or not.
