In total, Liz Truss held office for less than six weeks, by far the shortest term in her country’s history (George Canning, who died of pneumonia after five months in office back in 1827, previously held that record). In what is perhaps the most damning indictment of her time as Prime Minister, the markets that often react volatilely to changes in leadership barely budged when her resignation was announced. The pound actually increased slightly in value. Attention now turns to those Truss has left behind, with her party forced to find a new leader once again.
