On October 20, 2022, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation after just 49 days in office, losing her parliamentary seat by 630 votes. Truss, who took office in September 2022, faced backlash over controversial tax reforms leading to her resignation. Apart from Truss, several top Conservative party members failed to retain their seats in the election, including former Prime Minister Theresa May's constituency. Truss' tax plan, the largest since the 1970s, aimed to reduce taxes for the wealthy but faced criticism and economic repercussions.
