Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after just over six weeks in charge.
Ms Truss has stepped down as the leader of the Conservative Party and will leave Downing Street in a week.
It brings to the end a short but chaotic few weeks in post for Ms Truss, whose economic plans led to a huge crisis. Last week she sacked her Chancellor and ally Kwasi Kwarteng and replaced him with Jeremy Hunt, who set about immediately reversing the vast majority of her plans.
