British Prime Minister Elizabeth Trass announced on the 20th that she would resign as Prime Minister and head of the ruling Conservative Party, but would continue to serve as Prime Minister until a new leader was elected. The Conservative Party's first choice will be held next week. Truss made a brief statement in front of the Prime Minister's office at No. 10 Downing Street in London the same day, saying that when she became Prime Minister, the economic and international situation facing Britain was very unstable. The Conservative Party had previously elected her as its leader to change this situation. Truss acknowledged that, given the current situation, he could not complete this task. After Truss announced his resignation, the Labor Party and the Liberal Democratic Party immediately asked for an early general election. Reuters said that Truss became the shortest serving prime minister in British history. On September 5 this year, Truss was elected the head of the Conservative Party and took office the next day, becoming the third female prime minister in British history after Margaret Thatcher and Teresa May. After taking office, Truss introduced large-scale tax cuts in late September, which triggered a sharp shock in the British financial market. On the 14th of this month, Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarten announced his resignation. On the 19th, Home Secretary Sula Brefman resigned. The British political situation is in chaos. (Liu Xinshe)
