Liz Truss will become the next prime minister after defeating Rishi Sunak in the Conservative Party leadership contest on Monday, September 5.
On Tuesday, September 6, the foreign secretary will succeed Boris Johnson and become the nation’s third female. She secured just over 81,000 to Mr. Sunak’s just over 60,000.
Ms. Truss is expected to make a speech outside Number 10 once she takes office and will then get to work on appointing her cabinet.
It makes her Britain’s fourth prime minister in six years and the third female leader, after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.
Ms. Truss has promised to announce further help to shield consumers within a week of taking over. She plans to deliver £30bn in tax cuts through an emergency Budget later this month, arguing the UK’s tax burden is behind sluggish growth.
