So they had a choice between a multi-millionaire Indian / British passport holder from a wealthy immigrant family and an ex-chartered accountant, the daughter of two teachers, English born and bred. Not this time Rishi mate, they looked into the abyss and stepped back. Phew.

If you think Boris was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Remember, she only managed 50 votes out of 357 (14%) in the first round and came 3rd. She continued to come 3rd consistently behind Sunak (1st) and Penny Mourdant who came 2nd in every round and would of made a better PM, although the bar is so low that isn't saying much.

It was only until round 5, the final one before the last two were sent to the party membership, when the calculations were made and sufficient numbers of Sunak supporters voted for Truss and it was bye bye Penny Mourdant. The polling suggested Sunak had zero chance of beating Mourdant and only a slight chance of beating Truss. Despite idiotic policy statements made by Truss during the hustings, one that needed reversing 24 hours later, she still managed to beat Sunak.

It seems that being married to a women who is Indian and her Indian family are worth billions and keeping a US Green Card in his back pocket was just too much for the party. Or maybe they still yearn for another Margaret Thatcher.

Now the country is stuck with Truss, for how long nobody knows. Good luck with that...

Liz Truss resigns as British Prime Minister after just 44 days

London: British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned after just 44 days after she was appointed to the position, ending the shortest stint in Downing Street history.

Her shock statement outside 10 Downing Street lasted for less than two minutes and she did not take any questions.



“I recognise though that given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party,” she said.
