'Liz Truss’s reign as Prime Minster was shorter than a series of Love Island.'
After six weeks in office, Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned. The situation with Truss is not entirely comprehensible to Americans where it’s much harder to berate people into leaving government office. Here’s what seems to be happening as partially told through tweets from British celebrities.
Truss is a member of the Conservative Party who recently revealed a tax plan that would offer the ultra rich a massive cut. It was called “Trussonomics.” The U.K., like many places right now, is facing a huge cost of living crisis and the announcement caused the British financial markets to tank and made their currency’s value plummet. On Monday, the U.K.’s new Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt announced they were reversing her plan completely.
