Aftermath of Johnson’s Tenure
After Boris Johnson was ousted, Conservative MPs voted for Truss to be the next Party leader in the hope she could make up for the lasting effects on public opinion that Johnson left.
Mortgage Rate Fiasco
During her quick tenure as leader of the country, Truss created economic pandemonium as mortgage rates soared under her guidance.

Sunak Under Fire
Current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been under fire after numerous racism scandals regarding Tory donors and Conservative MPs, including Lee Anderson.
