Liz Truss has resigned as prime minister after just 44 days in the post - here's how the news was received around the world.
Russia's foreign ministry welcomed the resignation of Liz Truss - saying she was a "disgrace" of a leader who will be remembered for her "catastrophic illiteracy".
"Britain has never known such a disgrace of a prime minister," foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
The claim of illiteracy appears to refer to Ms Truss' visit to Moscow shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine while she was foreign minister.
In a meeting with Russia's veteran foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, she appeared to confuse two regions of Russia with Ukraine, triggering mockery by the Russian diplomat and across talk shows on Russian state TV.
Senior Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev tweeted: "Bye, bye @trussliz, congrats to lettuce," referring to the UK Daily Star's joke about whether a lettuce would last longer than Ms Truss's prime ministership.
French President Emmanuel Macron said: "I won't comment on this issue which relates to British politics, but what I want to say is that we always had very constructive meetings and exchanges over the phone, no later than a few days ago in Prague.
