The Independent on Wednesday launched a petition calling for a new UK general election to be held instead of allowing the Conservative Party to oust its new prime minister Liz Truss and impose a fourth prime minister on the country in three years.
Ms Truss was only selected as the party’s new leader on 6 September after a prolonged summer leadership campaign that saw her eventually beat former chancellor Rishi Sunak to the top job but has since endured the most nightmarish start to a premiership in living memory.
