Elizabeth Truss has resigned as British Prime Minister just 44 days after being in office. She has become the shortest serving PM in the history of Britain. The previous record was held by one Canning in 1827 who was PM for 127 days.
There is a brief video at this link about Truss' resignation : https://wapo.st/3VASQTQ
Truss said that a new PM will be chosen by the Tories again within ONE week. That seems a very rush job. Her own "selection" took two months.
If the new British PM is going to be a woman again then this lady has a good chance. This is Penny Mordaunt.
(I have posted this before).
49 year old Penny Mordaunt (born 1973) is the British MP for Portsmouth - a Navy town.
You can quickly glance her bio here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Mordaunt
Her entire working life has been public service all the way, holding various Cabinet posts including the first female Minister of Defense. She is also the only MP who is a serving reserve officer in the British Royal Navy. Her father was once a paratrooper in the Parachute Regiment.
