After just 44 days in the job, Liz Truss announced she informed the King of her resignation and will stay Prime Minister for one week until her successor is announced.
Truss becomes Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister after an open revolt by Tory MPs against her crisis-hit premiership and chaotic scenes in Westminster.
So, who's in the running to take over and - whisper it - could Boris Johnson be planning a political comeback?
To dissect this historic day in Westminster, the Leader's joined by Evening Standard deputy political editor David Bond and Antonia Jennings, associate director of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies.
