Talk show host Piers has already thrown his hat in the ring, Tweeting a picture of himself outside Number 10 with the caption “It may be time”. 

Following Liz’s out of the blue resignation, the former Britain’s Got Talent judge said: “It’s over.  

“Liz Truss is resigning and will become shortest-serving Prime Minister in British history. What an absolute shambles.” 

In her outgoing statement, Liz said: “I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability.  

“Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills. Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent.

“And our country has been held back for too long by low economic growth. 

“I was elected by the Conservative party with a mandate to change this. We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance.  

“And we set out a vision for a low tax high growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit. 

“I recognise though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.  

“I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party. 

“This morning I met the chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady. We’ve agreed that there will be a leadership election to be completed within the next week.

“I will remain as prime minister until a successor has been chosen. Thank you.”
