Who Is Liz Truss, Britain's New Prime Minister?
Over the past three years, Boris Johnson’s tenure as the U.K.’s head of government has been riddled with scandal—but on September 6, Liz Truss formally took over as Britain's prime minister. After being elected the leader of the Conservative Party on Sunday, September 5, Truss flew to Scotland’s Balmoral Castle, where the Queen is vacationing, in order to take part in a formal “passing of the baton” ceremony.
As the new head of government and, notably, only the third woman to hold the position in the U.K., Truss has plenty on her shoulders. For example, there's the U.K’s energy crisis, double-digit inflation, and labor unrest, just to name a few issues that Truss is now tasked with addressing. Here’s everything you need to know about Britain’s new prime minister. As you might expect, Britain’s new prime minister has an extensive background in politics and government.
Additionally, she famously campaigned for Britain to stay in the E.U. only to change her stance after the country voted to leave in 2016. Now she’s considered one of Brexit’s most ardent supporters. Interestingly enough, Truss has been compared to Britain’s first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, the same woman she campaigned against as a college student.
