UK Boris Johnson’s successor Liz Truss

The current foreign secretary will be appointed as the UK’s new prime minister on Tuesday, with Johnson handing in his resignation as prime minister to Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Afterwards, Truss will meet with Isabel II to receive the King’s coronation. Liz Truss, 47, will become the country’s third female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May, and the fourth politician to hold the post in six years.

For the first time, due to ill health, Queen Elizabeth II will not be allowed to travel to London to welcome the new Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace and form the government.

“It’s an honor to be elected leader of the Unionist Conservative Party,” Liz Truss told an audience of party members.

After thanking those who participated in his campaign, Truss also paid tribute to other candidates, especially Rishi Sunak.

The new leader of the Conservative Party also issued a message of thanks to outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson. “Boris, you got through Brexit, you crushed Jeremy Corbyn, you got through on the vaccine and you showed firmness with Vladimir Putin. You’re admired from Kiev to Carlisle,” Truss said.

In his speech on Monday, Truss outlined his priorities for his term, including cutting taxes, fighting high energy prices and revitalizing the National Health Service.

“I will implement a bold plan to lower taxes and grow our economy. I will solve the energy crisis by tackling people’s energy bills, but also by tackling the long-term problems we have with energy supply,” Truss declared.

Many conservatives say the truss will introduce a freeze on rising energy rates.

As for taxes, Truss’ plan would be to cut taxes for Brits earning between £12,000 and £80,000 a year. Economists criticize the move, saying it will not reduce inflation and further increase public debt.

Truss will also face political challenges as he leads a party that is deeply divided following the forced exit of Boris Johnson. Despite having a majority vote in representatives, the current foreign minister does not have a majority vote in parliament, which could make his life difficult or easy depending on the policies he adopts and the people he puts in place. Govt.

With the country on the back of the Conservatives, Truss will also face the reluctance of the British public. According to a poll, 52 percent of Britons said Liz Truss would not solve the country’s problems and would make a terrible prime minister.

Liz Truss, 47, a champion of free markets and low taxes, is an experienced politician who has held various ministerial posts over the past ten years.

During the campaign, Truss drew comparisons to Margaret Thatcher by pledging tax cuts and taking a fiercely anti-union tone.
