<div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><b>British Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced her resignation, just a month and a half after taking office.</b></span><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thursday’s development came after her new chancellor of the exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, rolled back virtually all of her economic agenda.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hunt’s move was supposed to be an impetus for growth, but it became Truss’s declaration of political bankruptcy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">At the beginning of this month, at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham, Truss had still attempted to rally the party around her controversial approach of boosting the United Kingdom’s economy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I have three priorities for the economy: growth, growth, growth,” she said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But what was supposed to be a change from the tumultuous era of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a sense of chaos under Truss unravelled at a pace that is almost unprecedented in British history, Nicholas Allen, professor of politics at Royal Holloway, University of London, told Al Jazeera.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Previous prime ministers’ central policies have unravelled very quickly, for instance – Neville Chamberlain’s leadership during the spring of 1940, Sir Anthony Eden’s Suez adventure, and David Cameron’s campaign to remain in the EU. I can also think of the backlash to Gordon Brown’s decision not to call a general election in the early autumn of 2007,” Allen said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“But no new prime minister’s position has unravelled so early into their premiership or so catastrophically as Truss’s has over the last few weeks.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 47-year-old, who entered parliament in 2010, found herself in a first cabinet position in 2014 as secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs under former Prime Minister David Cameron.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She since served under Theresa May and Johnson in various positions.
