British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned after serving only 45 days. Truss became Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister. His term as Prime Minister was quite turbulent.
Queen Elizabeth II died in 45 days, the markets in England were shaken, the country went into a great political chaos.
We compiled Truss’s career with photos.
‘**Liberal**’ beginning
Liz Truss, who says she is a proud member of the Conservative Party today, ran the youth wing of the Liberal Democrats while studying at Oxford University.
While describing his childhood, Truss describes his father, who is a mathematics professor, and his mother, who is a nurse, as “leftist”.
MP in 2010
Later, he moved to the Conservative Party, and after losing the elections in 2001 and 2005, he was elected as a member of parliament in 2010.
When asked why he moved to the Conservative Party, Truss said he met people at the party who advocated “everyone should be able to enjoy personal freedom and have a chance to decide the course of life”.
Minister of Justice in 2016
Liz Truss became Minister of Justice in Theresa May’s government in 2016.
However, during this period, he had disagreements with many people in the judicial bureaucracy.
Truss was appointed as Undersecretary of the Treasury 11 months later. It was now at the heart of the government’s economic program.
in 2021 Minister of Foreign Affairs
Liz Truss became Secretary of State in Boris Johnson’s government in 2021.
While Truss was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, there were various disagreements with many sectors.
Truss said that Scottish Autonomous Administration Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon was “trying to attract attention”, had a diplomatic discussion with French President Emmanuel Macron, and was criticized for supporting the British who wanted to go to Ukraine to take up arms and support the army.
in 2022 Prime minister
Truss entered the Conservative Party leadership race after former prime minister Boris Johnson resigned.
There was little support for him among lawmakers at first.
However, as the rounds progressed, he increased the game and finished second in the final round behind former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak.
Members of the party elected the leader of the Conservative Party. Truss received 81,326 votes and Altar received 60,399 votes.
Truss, who was elected party leader on September 5, was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II to form the government the next day.
Queen 2. Elizabeth’s d**lum**
Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2 days after Truss as prime minister.
Truss was prime minister during the 10-day period of official mourning and the Queen’s funeral.
Tax deductions and U**–**return
On 23 September, Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng unveiled his mini-budget detailing £45bn tax cuts in line with Truss’ promises of a leadership race. Markets shook. The British pound fell to an all-time low of 1.03 against the US dollar.
On October 14, Truss fired Finance Minister Kwarteng and replaced him with Jeremy Hunt, who retracted almost all of the tax cuts.
in the prime minister s**ten weeks**
After a chaotic two-month period, calls for Truss to resign increased in the Conservative Party at a time when the people in England were struggling with increasing inflation.
One day after Truss argued that he was the right person for the post of prime minister, he resigned by waving a white flag on October 20, announcing that he had informed King Charles III of his decision.
Thus, the leadership election process began for the fourth time in four years within the Conservative Party.
