Watch live: Liz Truss holds first address as UK prime minister | DW News

Queen Elizabeth has appointed Liz Truss to be prime minister of the UK. After a bitter contest, she elected leader of Britain's Conservative Party and the UK's next prime minister.
The announcement that Truss would be taking over followed two months of campaigning sparked by the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The British economy is set to be the new prime minister's most pressing task with the UK facing a cost-of-living crisis and spiraling energy charges.

Your more frequent uploads have made this my go to channel for news with a splash of entertainment at the start.. Keep it up!!! A lot has changed and that's on everything but the truth is I don't even care much about bullish or bearish market anymore because Bryan Anderson got me covered as I am comfortably making 13.1B T C monthly....

🤭🤭We have all heard and seen this over and over again!" British working people are in serious trouble !" She never mentioned the strikes - fair pay increases for the poor and middle class workers that keep the country going!" It's so sad to still see that the country is' and always will be divided between the rich and poor? And she is for the rich!!! Specially chosen by the rich and famous ✨️ I was WAITING for her to say to struggling family people? ...IF THERE IS NO BREAD ? GIVE THEM CAKE TO EAT 🎂 🥮 🤭 she's a' disaster !""

The primary minister doesn't run Britain the queen does.

Winter in the UK isn't that cold, it's not like East Germany or Poland.

I hope this time Liz Truss from her new position she will not ask Russians to withdraw their forces from Moscow!

Well, in the first two minutes the reporter has misrepresented how a PM is selected, has clearly states her political views, and has provided a political message for the liberal party with information based upon polling data commissioned by the liberal party. Nice reporting...I mean campaigning.

I just want the parliament battles “ORDER…ORDER”……. Love it!

[jesper]

No matter how lousy, corrupt and incompetent she is, she can only be better than the fool before her...

YES, WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITY TO REMEMBER THE PAST AS LESSONS OF HUMANKINDS ERRORS OF CONSCIOUSNESS!

I really like your channel, but PLEASE do not give us a preview on an upcoming speech. Almost as irritating as the dumbed down to the point of absurdity post 'analysis' we get in the states. At least I assume we do because I haven't watched US 'news' in at least a decade. It is now just total nonsense, presented with the assumption that the viewer has the attention span of a house fly.

"Boris Johnson delivered the COVID vaccine". WTH???? Firstly, I didn't realize that he was either an epidemiologist or a geneticist! The reality:

According to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), the geographic distribution of COVID‑19 vaccine development shows North American entities to have about 40% of the activity, compared to 30% in Asia and Australia, 26% in Europe...

I get so sick of politicians, bosses, educational department heads or chairs, ad infinitum claiming to have done things they had little to nothing whatsoever to do with, in most cases. This one was beyond ridiculous. It happens so often anymore that I wonder if the average person BELIEVES it. They should get that moment so often depicted by the record scratch every time.
