Phillip Schofield has joined the long list of celebrities jokingly putting their hat in the ring to be the country's next Prime Minister after another astonishing week in government. Earlier this week, Liz Truss officially resigned as the Conservative Party leader after just 44 days in office.
Ms Truss resigned in a statement outside Downing Street on Thursday afternoon (October 20). She said in the statement, with her husband Hugh O’Leary alongside her, that she told the King she is resigning as leader of the Conservative Party. She said she would stay on as Prime Minister until a successor is chosen via a leadership election to be held within the next week
And supporters of Boris Johnson are backing the former PM to make an extraordinary political comeback following Ms Truss' dramatic resignation just six weeks after he left No 10 for the final time when he was forced out by his own MPs.
