Liz Terrace, the first prime minister to hold office for the shortest period of time ever, tendered her resignation today in a speech she delivered in Downing Street after serving as Britain’s prime minister for just 44 days. “I am aware that, given the circumstances, I am unable to carry out the Conservative Party’s mandate for me. So I called His Majesty to let him know I was stepping down as Conservative Party leader.
The party’s leadership elections are expected to take place within the coming week.
Prime Ministers David Cameron, Boris Johnson, and Theresa May all previously held ministerial positions in British politics. On October 6, 2022, the prime minister appointed Tarrach. She was previously Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development from 2021 to 2022.
After being elected as prime minister, two of the four major ministers in the government lost their jobs since last week. She promised to raise taxes by borrowing money and to make a strong turn to the right on cultural and social issues.
Shortly after the appointment of a terrace of prime minister, the economy slipped to the recession, Tobias Elwood, head of the Parliament’s defense committee, said that Tarras should continue until October 31, the day that Jeremy Hunt is scheduled to determine how to rebuild public finances. Any internal eruption before that, according to him, would increase pressure on the pound.
In a recent statement, Trace expressed regret for her “mistakes” and vowed to continue serving as prime minister, saying, “I will lead the conservatives to the 2018 general elections. Benin Mordon, Jeremy Hunt, Ben Wallace, Boris Johnson, and Swala Braverman are some of the candidates to succeed Rishi Sonak as the new Finance Minister.
Liz Taras, history, served as the leader of the shortest state’s government for 44 days.
