Liz Truss resigns as Prime Minister after just 44 days

Liz Truss resigns as prime minister after just six weeks, e-huquq.az reports citing Sky News.

Her time in office has been dominated by market chaos prompted by the mini-budget that was announced by former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng last month.

Despite sacking Mr Kwarteng last week and reversing almost all the unfunded tax cuts that had been proposed, the prime minister's position had continued to come under pressure.
