Liz Truss is officially confirmed as the next Prime Minister of the UK
A contest she has been expected to win for weeks, the current foreign secretary beat rival Rishi Sunak to the top job in a contest that saw both MPs publicly trade blows during a series of live leadership debates.She's set to meet the Queen at the monarch's Scottish Balmoral estate on Tuesday, before returning to Downing Street to make her first formal speech as PM.
A voting turnout of 82.6%, Truss received 57.4% of the vote from Tory party members — a figure that pales in comparison to Boris Johnson's 66.4% win over Jeremy Hunt in 2019. Praising outgoing leader Boris Johnson, she told him: "Boris, you got Brexit done, you crushed Jeremy Corbyn, you rolled out the vaccine and you stood up to Vladimir Putin. You were admired from Kyiv to Carlisle."
