British Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced her resignation, making her the shortest-serving prime minister in UK history.

The chaos of her six-week leadership saw the pound sink, mortgage rates jump and yesterday allegations of Tory MPs being bullied to vote for her in the House of Commons.

UK correspondent Enda Brady was scathing in his assessment of Truss’ reign, and the roughly $200,000 per year she is no entitled to in retirement.

“She’s actually worse than I thought she was going to be … she’s run out of the building and left everyone on fire,” Brady told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.

£115k a year for life after 45 days in a job she couldn’t do. What a country.

Speaking on Downing Street, Ms Truss admitted she could not deliver on her election promises.

“The problem is that in the 44 days, she took over from a prime minister who’d left a fairly rough state, the way the numbers were going, and she made the numbers worse,” UK correspondent Adam Gilchrist told Laurel, Gary & Mark.

She will stay on until Britain’s third prime minister this year is voted in by Tory MPs and members in the next week.

Former chancellor Rishi Sunak is considered the front runner but Boris Johnson has signalled he’s aiming for a comeback.
