Positive sentiment towards Liz Truss prevailed only at the beginning of her career as a prime minister. She signified a breath of fresh air after a range of controversies following her predecessor, Boris Johnson. With her positive take on cryptocurrencies and an idea to tackle energy bills, she was the voice of hope for a better future.

But with the announcement of the mini-budget and the following run on pound, the positivity faded out and turned into predominantly negative sentiment. A week in, the negative sentiment started slowly increasing with the announcement of new energy and economic plans within a rather fragile UK economy. This was already a sign of a crisis looming that exploded with further political moves and the media’s figurative and literal countdown till her resignation.
The peak of the negative sentiment can be seen, as expected, on the day that she resigned, the 20th of October.

A reign marked with breaking news, crisis, economy and energy plans, the cost of living and huge expectations set to the new prime minister.
Only 44 days have passed since Truss promised to get Britain through the storm. And a range of poorly made decisions has brought an even bigger storm. A storm that will be the first big challenge for the new PM in office.
