According to some media reports, Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt are the most likely contenders to take over. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt ruled himself out as a contender shortly after Ms Truss resigned. Ms Truss’s resignation follows a short and chaotic stint in Number 10, precipitated by her disastrous mini-Budget, in which unfunded tax cuts spooked markets.

The latest blow came on Wednesday when her Home Secretary Suella Braverman resigned. She wrote in her resignation letter to Ms Truss: “The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes. Pretending we haven’t made mistakes… and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics.”

Lots of talks are hinted that replace Liz Truss with Penny Morduant and Rishi Sunak amid the growing economic crisis. It was revealed on last Friday that rebels within the ruling Tory Party in the UK are allegedly plotting to unseat Truss as party leader and prime minister in favour of a so-called “unity” joint ticket team that includes Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt.

As per YouGov poll reports, 62% of voters who participated in the last election and chose Liz Truss as British Prime Minister believe that they made the wrong decision, while only 16% believe that they chose the right candidate.
