Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned on Thursday after 45 days in office amid a political crisis. Known to thrive in such situations, Twitter was full of memes and hot takes.
Truss’s resignation was not unexpected, especially after the economic turmoil following his policies and the backlash from several quarters.
“This morning I met Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee. We have agreed that the election of the leadership will be completed within the next week. This will ensure that we meet our financial plans and the economic stability of our country. And stay on track to uphold national security,” Truss announced his resignation in an address outside Downing Street.
