Politicians from across Greater Manchester reacted this afternoon after Liz Truss finally resigned as prime minister, ending 44 days of chaotic leadership in 10 Downing Street.

Politicians or not, many reacted with a mixture of relief and anger - often liberally decorated with swear words. Like people across the country, Mancs expressed grim delight that 'the lettuce won'.
