'An absolute disgrace': Public react to Liz Truss's resignation

Britons in the midlands welcomed the news on Thursday (20 October) that Liz Truss resigned as prime minister.

"Well, it’s an absolute disgrace, you know it makes you wonder whether you should vote Conservative again, but I’m delighted to hear that she’s finally gone," Fran Binns, 76, said.

Ms Truss was brought down just six weeks into the job by an economic programme that shattered investor confidence and enraged much of her Conservative Party.
