BREAKING: Liz Truss resigns as UK Prime Minister

Liz Truss has resigned as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, UK, after a month and half in office.

She just made the announcement 24 hours after saying she was a fighter and not a quitter, and so would continue in office.

Truss succeeds Boris Johnson who resigned his appointment as PM in July over a series of scandals.

Liz Truss said she would stay on until a successor is chosen in the next week.
