Liz Truss & Rishi Sunak will battle to be Britain’s next PM

LIZ Truss will fight Rishi Sunak to be Britain's next Prime Minister after edging out Penny Mordaunt in the Tory leadership race.

The Foreign Secretary leapfrogged the Trade Minister to bag second place in the fifth and final ballot of Conservative MPs on Wednesday.

She will now do battle with the former Chancellor for the keys to No10 in a wider vote of party members later this summer.

Mr Sunak cruised into the final two with 137 votes, retaining the first place lead he has wielded since the voting began last week.

Ms Truss shot up 27 to secure 113 votes, sneaking in by just eight votes to Ms Mordaunt's 105 - up 13.

Rishi Sonak to lead England and his name Rishi means clairvoyant and far sighted in managing economy and social fabric of England.

And Sonak means the Full of Gold and Son of Sun.

Where Liz Truss literally means as Liz Liz is a women's name of Hebrew origin, meaning
"God's Promise"

But Truss means to bind together for support


From the names its indicative of the fact that Rishi is going to be action oriented PM that could effect world politics especially Budhia Biden and Putin both to made to quit earlier than their term.

Rishi to see England triumph out of present inflation war with his direct action through him of the Sun to walk the sun light path.

And Liz Truss to she her truss support of Conservative binding to crumble soon.
