As there are currently 357 Tory MPs, a maximum of three candidates from the Conservative party can contest in the race, with the backing of 100 MPs, for the PM post. Here's how the next UK prime minister will be chosen.  

Liz Truss will be able to claim £115,000 (around Rs 1,06,36,463) per year for life, according to media reports; despite serving as the UK Prime Minister for just 45 days. Here's how the netizens reacted to the news.

Following days of high-level resignations, the prime minister resigned, and an increasing number of Conservative members of parliament (MPs) made public calls for Truss to step down. Until a replacement is selected, Truss said she will serve as caretaker prime minister. A leadership election is anticipated to take place over the course of the next week. Here are the leading candidates for the top position.

Liz Truss has resigned from the UK PM post weeks after she won the race for the top post, beating Indian-origin MP Rishi Sunak. "I recognise, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected," Truss said.  

According to the media reports, more than 100 members of parliament (MPs) from the ruling Conservative Party are prepared to deliver letters of no confidence in Truss to Graham Brady.

Britain's King Charles III said he had been "moved beyond measure" by the outpouring of public sympathy following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II in a message of thanks on the eve of her grand state funeral.

India and Pakistan clashed twice during the Asia Cup 2022, with both sides winning once each. However, over 20 days since, a large-scale clash between communities in Leicester has broken out.

Reports suggest that protecting Queen Elizabeth's funeral will be the most expensive single-day operation in UK history, costing over USD 7.5 million. To secure the unprecedented number of foreign leaders, who are expected at the funeral on Monday, the British Mi5 and Mi6 intelligence agencies, London's Metropolitan Police, and the Secret Service will work together.

The London police say the funeral will be the largest single policing event the force has ever handled, surpassing even the 2012 Summer Olympics and the Platinum Jubilee in June celebrating the queen’s 70-year reign.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II means that over 600 of her favourite brands are at risk of losing their royal warrant.  If the brands fail to get the new monarch's stamp of approval, they will have a time period of two years to remove the royal seal that marks them as preferred suppliers to the sovereign
