Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, she resigned after 49 days when a package of unfunded tax cuts rattled the markets.

Liz Truss sits in the right-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: strongly free market and slightly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly free market on economy, leaning growth-first on environment and leaning tech-optimist on technology.
