நான் ஆட்சிக்கு வந்ததும் கொடுத்த வாக்குறுதிகளை நிறைவேற்ற முடியவில்லை, அதனால் ராஜினாமா செய்தேன்: லிஸ் டிரஸ், இங்கிலாந்து பிரதமர். பதவி ஏற்ற 45 நாட்களில் ராஜினாமா செய்த பிரதமர்!

Liz Truss's Statement: 

We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance.    

We have continued to stand with Ukraine and to protect our own security.  

And we set out a vision for a low tax, high growth economy – that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.

I recognise however 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.

There will be a leadership election to be completed in the next week.  

This will ensure we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security. 

 

I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.
