Liz Truss began her speech by paying tribute to her predecessor, saying history would see Boris Johnson as a 'hugely consequential prime minister'
In the pouring rain, it must have taken an hour for Liz Truss’s motorcade to drive the 15 miles from RAF Northolt to Downing Street, a journey that previous prime ministers have managed in half that.
Whether by accident or design, there were a few references to the weather. Scribbled in her notes in the back of the car or planned all along? No surprises, except perhaps a Sir Winston Churchill quote - “action this day” - that her predecessor might have used. It was probably the best soundbite in the speech, which lasted less than five minutes.
But, in an appearance plagued by traffic and rain delays, she then moved on to lay out her vision for the country. When it came to more specific policies, the PM reaffirmed her promise to"take action this week" on energy bills and said she would"make sure that people can get doctors appointments and the NHS services they need".
She added:"Our country was built by people who get things done. We have huge reserves of talent, of energy and determination.
