“Britain’s political turmoil deepened on Wednesday as Prime Minister Liz Truss, having been forced to ditch her flagship economic policies, fought to stay in power despite a high-level cabinet resignation and a growing rebellion from lawmakers who want to oust her but aren’t sure exactly when or who would replace her,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The political stasis was on display Wednesday as Ms. Truss, facing the lowest approval ratings of a British leader in decades, appeared in parliament to apologize for her tax-cutting budget plans after they caused weeks of chaos on financial markets. But she vowed to stay in power as the country faces growing economic headwinds in the coming winter months and brewing social and political discontent.”
Philip Bump: The good news for British democracy is that no one likes Liz Truss.
