The UK will have its fourth prime minister in just over three years after Liz Truss's ill-fated premiership finally crashed on Thursday.
We knew about the figurehead king. But does Britain now have a figurehead prime minister? Liz Truss’ grip on power slipping by the day. A U-turn on unfunded tax cuts for the rich most likely will not be enough to repair the damage. Is she really reduced to the role of prime minister in name only? And is she really the problem or the symptom of the problem?
Liz Truss leaves Downing Street for the last time as UK Prime Minister, addressing the media before going to Buckingham Palace to inform King Charles III of her resignation. Truss is the UK's shortest serving premier in history, having only been in office for 49 days. SOUNDBITE
Sunak has the backing of at least 124 Conservative lawmakers, while Johnson, who has not declared if he is running, has about 50 ahead of the crucial nomination on Monday.
She is the shortest-serving PM in recent UK history.
A number of London police have stepped back from firearms duties after a fellow officer was charged with murder over the fatal shooting of a young black man, a force spokesman said Sunday. Police in Britain are not routinely armed and the small proportion who are authorised to carry guns are highly trained.
