Liz Truss's time in No 10 Downing Street was the briefest in history and now the focus has shifted to who comes next.

She was forced to resign after a tumultuous seven days in which she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor after just 38 days and lost her Home Secretary Suella Braverman a week later.

Making Jeremy Hunt the replacement chancellor appeared to be a good move, well met by the financial sector, but wasn't enough to save her political career.

Sir Graham Brady has said the new prime minister will be in place inside a week.

Boris Johnson considering running again to be PM, say allies

Threshold to reach ballot is support of 100 Tory MPs, however, and there are doubts he has sufficient backing

Boris Johnson is considering running again to be UK prime minister after Liz Truss’s dramatic resignation, with rightwing Conservative MPs and party donors already backing his nascent campaign.

The former PM, who quit in disgrace in July following a series of scandals that left his personal integrity in tatters, was expected to fly back from the Caribbean where he has been on holiday with his family.

One ally told the Guardian that Johnson felt it was in the “national interest” for him to stage a return. Another said the Tory heavyweight felt his premiership had been unfairly “cut off before its time” and that he still had plenty to do at No 10.

However, the Conservative party announcement that the threshold to reach the ballot paper would be the support of 100 MPs made the prospect of Johnson running again look less likely, with some Tory MPs suggesting he could be wasting his energy by running.

How's your Arabi?

Only way I see someone sabotage a country like that is if they get paid. 

Uk wasn't in a position for this folly.
