Forty-five days is a long time in politics, but probably not long enough if you are trying to lead a country.  But that’s how long Liz Truss lasted as the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister.

After a month of chaos sparked by a mini-budget that crashed the pound, Truss has resigned, sparking a truncated leadership contest in an attempt to right the ship.  

So how did her reign go so wrong – and is there any salvaging of the UK’s Conservative Party after 12 years in office? 

Today, on The Front Page, producer Shaun D Wilson is joined by UK correspondent Gavin Grey to unpick the collapse of an incredibly brief premiership.
