British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned after a record-short 45 days in office. Truss’s error was twofold: She misread parliamentary backbench and financial market support for her tax cut agenda, and she then adopted a pressure strategy as her parliamentary authority waned. In the end, it sparked a fatal revolt from Truss’s own Conservative Party parliamentarians.

Truss’s very short tenure means that she leaves little in the way of a legacy. Her steadfast support for Ukraine and the associated ire this earned her from Russia is likely to be one positive, however. Celebrating Truss’s resignation and thus inadvertently granting her some praise, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova declared that “Britain has never known such a disgrace of a prime minister.” The U.S. may also come to regret Truss’s departure. She was set to endorse a more robust U.K. stance in support of U.S. concerns over China.
