30 hours to power: Liz Truss's journey to becoming PM

Liz Truss became Britain’s prime minister on Tuesday, after Boris Johnson tendered his resignation to the Queen at Balmoral, and Truss visited the monarch at her Scottish residence shortly afterwards for confirmation of her appointment.

The new prime minister then returned to London, where she addressed the nation in a speech outside 10 Downing Street before putting the finishing touches to her first cabinet. The Guardian recaps the 30 hours that marked the beginning of the Truss era.

Liz truss saved my father's life.he went downhill in a short space of time losing his speech and then the use of his limbs, practically paralysed from the neck down.then one day he was watching liz truss campaign speech, against all odds he picked up the TV remote and turned the channel over

Having Liz Truss and Boris Johnson coming around to your gaff would finish anyone off.

Maybe Truss was the cause of the queens death.

All the people clapping for Boris, are they the ones who made money in the PPE scandal?

I understand how and liz became prime minister (by obtaining the majority of her party members’ votes ) but can we all focus on the fact that 80, 000 people decided the leader of the uk which has a population of 67.22 million people (as of 2020). That’s 0.1 percent of the population.

The queen dropped dead after meeting with Liz 😂

Definitely, without doubt 'Not the droid we are looking for'.

And the queen dies with a couple days of her being PM

[drpsyclist]

UK, where PM stands for pointless muppet

[grleon]

I got the info but most importantly I enjoyed the editing of this video thoroughly.

Liz Truss replaces Boris Johnson as PM then just days later the Queen dies.

Talk about a real “oof” moment.

This is really bad news for the working class

[watersportsbyjamesfitzroy]

I thought they couldn’t get lower than BJ, then the conservatives surprised us once again!

[frankiec]

I mean, the fact she said “I campaigned as a conservative and will lead as a conservative” just proves it; she’s not gonna be a prime minister for all. If you’re Labour, Lib Dem, Green, we’ve gotta put up with the fact this next PM will again put Tory’s above everyone else and not treat working class families as equals.

Liz truss will be the only one that can make Theresa May look amazing

[Pernel]

I wonder how much Liz will charge the taxpayer for redecorating number 10

[ItsSamHussey]

Didn’t she want to remove the Queen when she was younger? How awkward

[vladimirl]

Absolutely distrustful woman. You will regret your choice. Poor Britain.
