The announcement, made by Truss outside Downing Street, followed a crash in the UK's economy, the departure of two key cabinet members and a loss of confidence by almost all of her own Conservative MPs.

Truss won the leadership race over Rishi Sunak in September; her resignation has sparked yet another contest to be the Tory leader and next prime minister.
