Prime Minister Liz Truss looked close to breaking point in her brief press conference on Friday, but will she survive until the end of the year or can she produce a miraculous turnaround and remain in charge until the next General Election?
Ms Truss walked out of her press conference after eight minutes and answered only four questions, leading MPs believe she could be close to quitting. We take a look at the odds of when she will leave her role as PM.

With the Tories in full meltdown it comes as little surprise that rumours of a change of leadership are rampant within the media once more. Reports that Boris Johnson could even find himself back in 10 Downing Street might sound strange but in UK politics nothing is weirder than the truth.
Some MPs believe Truss could be close to quitting just six weeks after taking the reins, and even the Tory papers yesterday were asking how much more she could take. It is not impossible that she falls on her sword in the coming days, and tries to leave with some dignity, without being forced out by her party.
Despite the terrible polls the Tories would be loathed to have another leadership vote so soon after the last one so if Truss can turn the tide perhaps she could see out the year.

Liz Truss Exit Date Betting Odds
Odds correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
| 2022 | 4/5 with 888 Sport |
| 2023 | 11/5 with 888 Sport |
| 2024 | 16/1 with 888 Sport |
| 2025 | 33/1 with 888 Sport |
Liz Truss is now officially the least-popular UK Prime Minister in history, but when will the end come for Truss given that nearly every element of her prospectus has just been cut up by her new chancellor? Can she stand behind the revised economic plans?
Following 2022 as the favourite exit date, 2023 has drifted to a best price 11/5, while 2024 – 23/10 less than three weeks ago – is now priced at a huge 16/1.
And finally 33/1 is available for her exit date to be 2025, the theoretical year of the next General Election unless an earlier one is called.
