People reacted to the shock resignation of Liz Truss in different ways - a 12-year-old girl with cerebral palsy could not help smiling when she heard news of the Prime Minister's departure. This is despite fears the family's energy bills could rise to over £17,000.
Freya Hunter, 12, suffers from severe cerebral palsy and needs daily nursing care and oxygen machines. She is non-verbal but when she was watching BBC News footage of Liz Truss resigning, she broke out in a smile - which her mum described as "poignant".
Mum-of-four Carolynne Hunter, 49, works 45 hours a week and is paying out £505 per month on energy bills currently - although she was been warned they will likely rise to £600. Single mum Carolynne was delighted when Liz Truss resigned as PM, and said Freya smiled when she heard the news.
