Liz Truss Is New UK Prime Minister, Defeats Rishi Sunak by over 20,000 Votes
Britain’s Conservative Party has announced its new leader is Liz Truss, who has served as foreign minister for the past 12 months. She will be formally appointed as the next prime minister by Queen Elizabeth, likely on Tuesday afternoon.
“I will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy,” Truss said in her victory speech, adding that she will also take on challenges from high energy bills to the National Health Service.
The result follows a nationwide vote by the party’s grassroots members that lasted several weeks this summer. Truss will become the country’s fourth leader in a politically turbulent six-year period
