It's official. She's resigning.

Don't forget this all started with Pippa Crerar unearthing Partygate.

Arguably it all started with Charles Moore’s boozy brunch with Jonners.

Man - 56/56. I expect that will be both her tenure, and approval ranking.

For all the Italy comparisons, note that Truss’ tenure was considerably shorter than that of the average Italian PM.

Why not calling for a snap election? The Tories are in disarray, can't effectively lead. Just end this.

Truss will remain PM until a new leader is chosen, so no caretaker.

They don't want to be reduced to third party status.

If they had, British voters would have done what Republican voters lack the spine to do, and actually abandoned the party.

For all the Italy comparisons, note that Truss’ tenure was considerably shorter than that of the average Italian PM.

Actually, for the entire history of the Italian republic, only one PM lasted less than 100 days in office: Amintore Fanfani, during his very first tenure in 1954. He lasted only 22 days in office, so he still beats Truss, but that was very much the exception rather than the rule.

Truss' tenure is more in line with the Fourth French Republic, which was far more unstable than Italy ever was. Even then, it had 21 PMs in 12 years, so an average tenure of about 200 days.
