The plans of outgoing prime ministers after leaving Number 10 can vary from remaining in politics or campaigning for causes to earning lucrative sums for speaking engagements. The two most recent former prime ministers – Boris Johnson and Theresa May – have remained in Parliament, however, others such as David Cameron and Sir Tony Blair have pursued careers outside of Westminster.
The options available to Liz Truss following her resignation on Thursday include public speaking - which has proved a popular and lucrative option for former prime ministers. She may also opt to link up with charities and think tanks.
Her future may also lie as a backbench MP. There are currently two former prime ministers – Theresa May and Boris Johnson – on the Conservative backbenches.
