Liz Truss' 'sickly' gesture showed she thought resignation was 'joke', says expert

Liz Truss hinted at her "anger and shock" during her resignation speech and even performed a "sickly" gesture that showed she thought it was a joke, a body language expert has claimed.

Ms Truss dramatically quit after just 44 days in No 10 - making her Britain's shortest-serving Prime Minister ever. She announced her resignation after weeks of turmoil in Downing Street and furious backbench MPs expressing no confidence. In a brief speech, she told the country she recognises she “cannot deliver the mandate” that Tory members gave her a little over six weeks ago. And according to body language expert Judi James, despite putting on a display of "bravado" as she quit - another gesture hinted that she thought the "whole turn of events has been a joke".
