Who is UK’s next prime minister Liz Truss? – BBC News

Liz Truss has been chosen as the next Conservative leader and will become the UK’s next prime minister following the resignation of Boris Johnson.

She will be the country’s third woman prime minister and was selected in a vote among Tory Party members, who make up less than 1% of the nation’s population.

In her first speech after beating Tory leadership rival Rishi Sunak, Ms Truss promised to take action to deal with surging energy costs.

Who pays the price? The same people that always foot the bill, the working class.

[CentaurMoe]

Seems like she changes her mind to whatever current opinion will help her climb the ladder, another career politician wihtout an ounce of integrity. Brilliant.

[markjackson]

Bad for working people, bad for the environment, bad for the NHS, bad for the UK

[michaelcoward]

Using thatcherism to try and deal with this cost of living crisis is like treating cancer with cigarettes.

[Dmitry-Bonch]

Just another politician promising to make your life better. 2, 000 years and counting. Planet of fools.

“She wants to get done what she wants to get done.”

Right, except we’ve not asked her for that. We’ve asked her to enact the will of the people.

[jackowens]

She has been in cabinet since 2012. She has governed this nation for 10/12 years of Tory rule. This isn't a fresh start, this is just more of the same

[ascgazz]

The UK isn’t in the slow lane it’s on the bloody hard shoulder broken down with punctures and a knackered engine.

[chrisfoster]

It's not about what she wants done, it's about doing what is best for the country. Too many politicians act like dictators rather than public servants.

[MF-tyzn]

Another pro-billionaire for 1% and serfdom for 99%.

Doesn't matter who gets in.. the Government does not care.. the rich always prosper.. Everything in this Country truly is a rich man's trick Francis Richard Conolly 💚✌️.

[ezeee]

She means what she I’ve lost count of the number of times she’s done u turns. Just a lucky woman who was at the right place at the right time!!

[satyasyasatyasya]

She's just demented. Pure and simple.

[hanselmansell]

This is going to be hilarious, tragic, but hilarious! Bring on the pain, the pitchforks are coming... 😊🔥

Britain chose Karen as a prime minister. This is the cream of the crop? Really? What's happened to this country.

[riggsbasaurus]

starts saying she is trustworthy then talks about an affair. here we go again.

[miapulchritudinous]

Well, it shouldn't take too long for Truss to pack up her stationery and swap desks. No time to waste in sorting out the giant mess she helped create.

[alv]

Ok but can this lady make up her mind?! She changed her mind on almost every important topic!! God I hope she does a good job! God help us all

[DeepMeditationMusic]

It is a very sad day. None of these rich Tories understands or feels what ordinary citizens go through especially in this difficult financial climate. I don’t think Truss has any idea of how the country should be run.

'Means what she says' - she can hardly answer a single question!!
