After a two-month campaign, five rounds of voting and 12 party hustings, Liz Truss has beaten Rishi Sunak and been declared the new leader of the Conservative party and the UK's new prime minister.

The announcement was made to Tory party members at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre. In her acceptance speech, Truss pledged to cut taxes, address the energy crisis and improve the NHS.

She's gonna hand Labour a victory on a silver platter

[canny_linguist]

Will the last person to leave Britain please turn the lights off?

[paultsjan]

It is a contest of the two best liars for the post of the premiership of Britain. Well done.

Suddenly it feels like Boris was not so bad after all, Liz comes across like that prefect from school you could not take seriously.

Devestating news for the UK.. call a general election

[maco]

Boy, I have seldom heard something more uninspired and most importantly: without any substance at all.

[public.public]

General election or
General strike or
Violent riots
Take your pick.

[francispimpong]

The greatest political party on earth 🤣

[VILLIN-]

HELLO - IM A GENERIC TORY I would like to make vour life worse and make myself and my rich friends richer :-D

[francinesicard]

My condolences to the Brits for their new PM

[joshgaming]

Thanking Boris probably not the best way to start love

[talet]

When one thought it could not get worse....

[ascgazz]

Her first turn should have been towards Rishi.

But if we can expect anyone to turn the wrong way again and again, it’s MONOTONE Liz Truss.

[lilacblue]

From their body language you can tell truss was already expecting it and sunak knew he wasn't. They had already planned this

[public.public]

It's going to get very hot in the streets these next couple of years.

The problem with the people of West Europe: in every elections, they are making the worst possible choice. Brits, of course, have no right to vote direct for the head of the government; all decided inside the party (the same as in China). Still, I feel me deeply disappointed. The galloping inflation will eventually destroy all our savings.

[public.public]

Well... peacefull demonstrations are just ignored.

[irenestephenson]

Oh no I am worried in case we have another Margaret Thatcher.

[mooreel]

4:45 can't deliver a single full sentence

[thesocialmediascientistmbe]

With an acceptance speech like this, I don't hold much hope for Theresa May's updated clone.

Boris is admired from Kiev to But he was voted out by those even in his own party.
