After 10 days in charge, bookmakers give odds on Liz Truss outlasting former PM's
Prime Minister Liz Truss has been in the position for 10 days and will be looking to stay there for many years to come.
Bookmakers have already given odds on her outlasting former Prime Ministers in her length in the role.
Betway make it 1/20 that she at least outlasts George Canning, whose 119 day spell remains the shortest in history.
| Liz Truss To Serve Longer than which former PM? | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| George Canning (119 days) | 1/20 | 95.2% |
| Gordon Brown (2 years 318 days) | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Theresa May (3 years 11 days) | 13/8 | 38.1% |
| Boris Johnson (3 years 44 days) | 7/4 | 36.4% |

Liz Truss has been Prime Minister for 10 days now and it's already been a rollercoaster in her reign.
Just two days after The Queen requested Truss to form a new administration as PM, Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully.

Liz Truss is expected to stay in the role as Prime Minister until 2024 at least according to the betting odds.

The next General Election isn't due until January 2025 but it may well be that we get one sooner with Truss hinting at a 2024 election last week.

Truss is 11/8 to press on with privatisation of Channel Four
The privatisation of Channel Four has been one of the most talked about political stories within the past year.
Despite criticisms from MPs and the industry itself, it looks like the privatisation of the channel will go ahead at some point.
Bookies though make it 11/8 that it does actually happen, with 4/7 odds that it doesn't happen according to Smarkets.
