To add to @sunbeam60@lemmy.one’s comment, the whole thing: from her becoming PM to resigning, lasted just 50 days. The shortest PM in British history by far, beating the previous record of George Canning of 119 days in 1827.

And her premiership would have been even shorter, except that the Queen died on her watch, which put a complete pause on British politics for a time.
