Liz Truss dramatically admitted defeat and announced she was quitting as PM on Thursday, with Westminster gearing up for Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak to do ‘battle for the soul’ of the party. 

There are claims that Boris – who was on holiday in the Caribbean – will bid for a shock return just six weeks after he left office.

Bombshell news: After just 44 disastrous days in No10, Liz took to a lectern outside the famous black door to confirm her departure, sealing her fate as the shortest-serving premier in modern political history

After just 44 disastrous days in No10, Liz took to a lectern outside the famous black door to confirm her departure, sealing her fate as the shortest-serving premier in modern political history.

Revealing she had informed the King of her decision, she said: ‘I cannot deliver on the mandate…. I will remain as PM until a successor has been chosen.’

Liz – who insisted she was a ‘fighter not a quitter’ barely 24 before – said the Tory leadership contest will be completed over the next week. 

The bombshell news followed a week of carnage that saw a bewildering array of U-turns on the mini-Budget, the Chancellor and Home Secretary quit, confusion over whether the Chief Whip had followed her out of the door, and MPs wrestling in Commons voting lobbies. 

Liz Truss’s resignation statement in full

I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability.

Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills.

Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent.

And our country had been held back for too long by low economic growth.

I was elected by the Conservative Party with a mandate to change this.

We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance.

And we set out a vision for a low tax, high growth economy – that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.

I recognise though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.

I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as Leader of the Conservative Party.

This morning I met the Chair of the 1922 Committee Sir Graham Brady.

We have agreed there will be a leadership election to be completed in the next week.

This will ensure we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security.

I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.

Thank you.
