A day of chaos: Liz Truss bows out after just 44 days in office with Boris Johnson planning remarkable return to No 10
It has been a day of chaos in Westminster. The shortest serving Prime Minister in British history has bowed out after just 44 days in office, with her predecessor Boris Johnson on the cusp of a possible return to Downing Street.
READ MORE Is Boris Johnson set to make a remarkable political comeback after Liz Truss resigns as PM after just 44 days? Jeremy Hunt was appointed to replace Kwarteng, announcing he would be scrapping almost every aspect of her financial programme for the country. It was just five days later that her beleaguered government sat further on the brink of collapse, as newly appointed Home Secretary Suella Braverman dramatically departed, submitting a brutal and scathing resignation letter after sending an official document from her personal email.
But, if Boris Johnson is set to make his remarkable return, less than two months after being forced out of office, he will need now the unwavering support of at least 100 MPs. His father Stanley has already spoken of his hopes his son will return to Number 10, saying he would be 'crucial in uniting these warring parts of the Tory party'.
