What happens now Liz Truss has resigned, will there be an election and who could be the next UK Prime Minister?
Liz Truss has stepped down as Prime Minister of the UK today after just 44 days in power. The dramatic resignation comes after a morning of meetings at Downing Street and a chaotic Wednesday evening, which saw Ms Braverman lash out at Ms Truss’ “tumultuous” premiership as she resigned as Home Secretary.
However, he said that there could only be one candidate which emerges which would therefore mean that no grassroots ballot would be needed. But for an early general election to be called, it is typically up to the Prime Minster themselves to make the decision. This hasn’t always been the case though, as in 2011, a law was passed that removed the PM’s power to call an early election.
"Penny Mordaunt, who also stood to replace Boris Johnson, is next in the market at 7/2 and Ben Wallace is next at 8/1, while recently-appointed Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is 9/1. A sensational return for Johnson, who was replaced by Truss, is 13/1 and far from out of the question according to the odds.
Andrew Bridgen, a Tory MP, said Liz Truss had made the "right decision" as he said "egos will have to be put aside" during the forthcoming leadership contest.
