Your question is still too vague to answer. Obviously some mini-budgets would have caused the markets to react the same way and others wouldn't.
I genuinely have no idea what you're asking but I'm now not sticking around to find out.
The shortest serving British PM was George Canning who was in office for 119 days(1827). And now she made history.
George Canning died in office, he wasn’t pushed out for being a miserable failure who crashed the economy.

What happens next will be interesting . At this point, a general election would be the obviously correct solution.

"See what I mean!"
An obvious fall guy. Rather shameful maneuver.
That is what I was thinking. Was she worse than Boris or is it just sexism? Edit: I'm sure objectively she was bad, but yeah.
Can anyone explain why??
The Tory MPs resent this.
Hahaha.

There was no general election when Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair.
