UK elections and the prime minister, as reported, sentence 13
News reports said that after Liz Truss's government announced big tax cuts in a "mini-budget" (a quick plan for taxes) without saying how they would be paid for, borrowing money got more expensive for the government and for families; she resigned after about 50 days, the shortest time of any UK prime minister.
Who acts: News reports, government, Liz · What happens: say, announce, pay, borrow, get, resign · To what, where: big tax cuts, mini budget, reports, money · Speech: someone speaks here
