U.K.’s Truss quits after turmoil obliterated her authority

Oct 20, 2022 | 11:04 AM

LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned bowing to the inevitable after a tumultuous six-week term in which her policies triggered turmoil in financial markets and a rebellion in her party obliterated her authority.

Just a day earlier Truss had vowed to stay in power, saying she was “a fighter and not a quitter.”

But Truss left Thursday after she was forced to abandon many of her economic policies and lost control of Conservative Party discipline.

Her departure leaves a divided party seeking a leader who can unify its warring factions.
