Resignation speech. (YouTube, 1:30)

CNN
”Liz Truss is set to become Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister ever, after announcing her intention to resign just six weeks into a disastrous term.”

“… Liz Truss is expected to give a statement in Downing Street amid calls for her to resign as Britain’s prime minister after a disastrous six-week tenure.”

“Truss earlier met with the chair of the 1922 Committee of the backbench Conservatives, Graham Brady, Downing Street said on Thursday, according to PA Media. The group decides whether to call a vote of no confidence in the prime minister.”

“Truss’s government was earlier told it had “12 hours” to “turn the ship around” by Conservative lawmaker Simon Hoare, after a vote on whether to ban controversial fracking for shale gas descended into chaos.”

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I kinda feel sorry for her. She’s apparently a bright person, and whether she personally believed in it or not, she just offered up the classic conservative economic dogma and actually tried to enact it. And the markets freaked out - you’re not supposed to actually do these things! - just talk a lot about them and wave them as you cut taxes for the wealthy from time to time.

Kinda like Brownback in Kansas (only of the opposite gender, which I think didn’t help her in getting support from her own party).

Maybe someone can appoint her envoy to the Vatican (sorry - “Religious Freedom Ambassador”) like Brownback.

CNBC snapshots of possible replacements.

Rishi Sunak
”The 42-year-old, who is credited with steering the U.K. economy through the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, is seen by supporters as well-placed to lead the country through its worsening cost-of-living crisis. However, some have questioned his ability to reunite the splintered Conservative Party, having played a key role in Boris Johnson's ousting, and being implicated in controversy over his wife's tax status.”

Penny Mordaunt
”Former Defense Secretary Penny Mordaunt surged to prominence during the summer's leadership race, before finishing in third place to Truss and Sunak.

Broadly seen as a consensus candidate, Mordaunt was second to Sunak in MP voting until the final round of the race, and has since maintained links with Tory MPs in her current role as leader of the House of Commons.

The 49-year-old also escaped largely unscathed from the controversy surrounding Johnson's departure, and has since demonstrated her leadership prowess in the chaotic early weeks of Truss' premiership.”

Ben Wallace
Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has kept a relatively low profile amid Tory party furor while winning respect for his role in leading the U.K.'s support for Ukraine.

Popular among MPs, he was seen as a favorite to replace Johnson, but ruled himself out of this summer's leadership race citing discussions with "colleagues and family."

Jeremy Hunt
Britain's new Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt, brought in to replace Kwasi Kwarteng, is considered the most powerful figure in government after he came in to overhaul Truss' economic plan and calm chaotic markets.

The 55-year-old is seen as a stable option, having previously held several senior government positions, including foreign secretary, health secretary and culture secretary. However, he has previously fallen short in a series of leadership bids, and on Thursday reportedly extracted himself from future runs.

Sunak reportedly said he will not take the role unless there is near universal support in his party and broad support in other parties as well.

A wilting 60p iceberg lettuce from Tesco in a blond wig has been crowned the winner of a bizarre competition after outlasting Liz Truss’s tenuous grip on power.

Seven days ago the Daily Star set up a webcam on the lettuce to see if it would have a longer shelf-life than the prime minister. To add to Truss’s humiliating resignation, the lettuce won.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

Out of professional courtesy, I’m giving the incarcerated incumbent credit for time served already accumulated since his last raid.
