BREAKING: Liz Truss has resigned as prime minister. Live updates here:

Here's the full statement Liz Truss delivered outside Downing Street confirming her resignation as prime minister.

Quote Message: I was elected by the Conservative party with a mandate to change this. We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance. And we set out a vision for a low tax high growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit. I recognise though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.
