Liz Truss has been elected as the new British Prime Minister, marking the first time a woman has held the post. Truss succeeded the outgoing Foreign Secretary and secured the leadership of the Conservative Party in a recent election. She is expected to remain in the post until the next general election in 2025.

While Truss’s name may not have initially been a frontrunner for the leadership position, her commitment to traditional conservative values, including tax reductions and a smaller state, resonated strongly with party members. The BBC reported that Truss’s loyalty to former Prime Minister Johnson until his departure also proved crucial in securing support from his remaining loyalists. Conservative supporters view Truss as a resolute and determined figure, qualities reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher.

Friends and family describe her as ambitious.
