Prime Minister Liz Truss' Leadership Troubles
New prime minister (PM) Liz Truss has had a tough first few weeks in charge.

The situation has led people to question if she should lose her job but now she has said sorry for making mistakes but says she won't be standing down as PM.

After the celebrations of winning the top job, she had a very negative reaction to her plans to take the UK in a new direction with her mini-budget - including from Members of Parliament on her own team.

After that she had to change direction, sack her friend and colleague Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor of the Exchequer and then saw her original plans scrapped almost entirely by his replacement Jeremy Hunt.

It's been like playing snakes and ladders... and landing on more snakes. But being prime minister means affecting the lives of everyone in the UK so it's a lot more important than a game.
