Lizzie Cundy hits out at 'dizzy' Liz Truss as she slams 'tragedy' of a Prime Minster

Lizzie Cundy has branded Prime Minister Liz Truss a "disaster" after she announced she'd handed her resignation to King Charles III.

The Prime Minister has now become Britain's shortest-serving PM, ever, after just 44 days on the job.

Her resignation came after weeks of turmoil in Downing Street with even her own MPs revealing they had no confidence in the Tory party with Truss as the leader.

While standing outside Downing Street, the first PM of the King's reign explained she hadn't been able to deliver on her mandate since winning the Conservative Party leadership election.

Now, model and former WAG Lizzie Cundy has shared her views on Truss during an exclusive chat with The Mirror.

The 54-year-old bombshell said: " Liz Truss has become a modern-day political tragedy!

"What a disaster, with more U-turns she made herself a dizzy Lizzie, no authority, no credibility and now no job.

"I even think Larry the cat could have done a better job and lasted longer than 44 days," before adding: "Is this a cunning plan by the blonde bombshell that is Boris for a return?!"

It's been reported that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is eying up a return, just weeks after he resigned following a string of controversies, including holding a party during the lockdown.

While thousands mourned loved ones, Boris partied at Downing Street the night before Prince Philip's funeral, where the late Queen Elizabeth sat alone.

The former PM is still yet to face a formal investigation as to whether he misled parliament with his lockdown law-breaking parties.

He believes it is in the "national interest" for him to reprise his former job, with friends of the ex-PM saying: "I think it would be in character if he did."

Following Truss' resignation, there have been calls for the government to hold a General Election – with The Mirror also running a petition, urging the Tory cronies to do so.

Sharing the news of her time in office coming to an end, Truss told the world's media: "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."

She added: "This will ensure that we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plan and maintain our country's economic stability and national security.

"I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen. Thank you."
