British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned Thursday — bowing to the inevitable after a tumultuous, short-lived term in which her policies triggered turmoil in financial markets and a rebellion in her party that obliterated her authority.
Making a hastily scheduled statement outside her 10 Downing Street office, Truss acknowledged that “I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.”
Truss becomes the winner of the Least Time Spent as British PM award by a large margin. (The previous record-holder died in office.)
Meanwhile, it has become necessary to warn Hungary which side it is on. Hungary is dependent on EU aid; which should have good cause to slow-walk. For why would you willingly aid a person who was intent on stabbing you in the back every chance they got?
