As Britain's third prime minister in just over three years assumes her role, Liz Truss's mandate will be to tackle inflation.
RELATED: 'Hasta la vista, baby': Boris Johnson resigns
Britain will get its third prime minister in just over three years as the ruling Conservative Party announced Monday it had chosen Liz Truss to be its new leader after an internal party contest.
Truss replaces Boris Johnson, a controversial maverick who defied many of Britain's political traditions. Johnson resigned in July after senior members of his government turned against him amid a series of scandals connected to breaking his own coronavirus lockdown rules and waning appetite for his brand of populist politics.

Modeling ones self after Margaret Thatcher isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Why? What was wrong with Thatcher?
Hope she has better teeth than battleaxe hatcher
@Practical I ChingJust had this conversation with someone in the UK. The young people are being taught to hate both Thatcher and Reagan. They weren’t even born then so they don’t know any different.
@Nick Malone lol. You must be a norm macdonald fan
@Melissa DeLoach conservative bad is all they hear, no reasons, just one liners.
Is she the same woman that sold weapons to Saudi Arabia in 2019?
That her qualification resume.
Clash Two do you drive a petrol driven car or motorcycle??
She’s WEF approved
Which is a terrible thing
That is shame
World economic forum sure is getting what they want
That’s 100% what I think as well.
take off your tinfoil hat
From bad to Worse
Truss is certainly ‘ambitious’ (not in the complimentary way). Johnson stole the name and enthusiasm for Brexit from Jeremy Corbin, made it business-friendly only and didn’t help the English economy for most This “election” was the “choice” of just 2 candidates to serve out the rest of Boris Johnson’s term. They’re all from the same Party. Expect nothing except less for those who need it most and more for those who don’t need it but always demand it.
@BravoCharlie …not following brit politics.. why is boris leaving as PM ? medical ?
Oh, This is a ….. People like her in power is bad for uk Economy…
Holy cow! What a disaster in the making…. poor people of England are totally screwed
any movement to the right in today’s world is a victory.
So you think they would be better with the Indian? Thats what Ireland did and look at what has happened there.
Mmmmm. Another win for the establishment. I never saw that coming
Had a feeling they would go for her. Maybe hoping the could get another Thatcher.
This reminds me of the circus where the driver and passenger switch seats, youre still headed to a sh*tty place
“Number one: Stay close to the Americans.” Can’t go wrong following Boris’s advice there!
@Head Shaker All the sooner you can get that prison sentence underway I guess. You can say hi to the Jan 6 people before they get to leave.
@Joe Shaloom Prison for what? January 6th was an open house. Hey, what ever happened to the Committee put together to put Trump in prison? It just disappeared quietly😂 keep trying degenerate
@Head Shaker “open house” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is gonna find out how hard this job really is!!!!!!
“I know that OUR beliefs resonate with the British people”
You would think that it would be assumed she has the same beliefs as the British people, being one herself…..but clearly it is an “us against them” mentality she is starting off with by insinuating that she has specifically separate beliefs that simply resonate with the beliefs of the people…not represent them.
Yup! That’s “Thatcher 2.0” alright! All for show and while everyone is distracted, move the money from the pockets of the many into the pockets of the few.
She can plot her evil with Darth Brandon in the USA
All you need to know about her is that she’s a member of the WEF.
Don’t know whether to congratulate her or send my condolences. Probably the latter.
😐
Seems in a lot of countries you get thrown out for having a party.
She really needs to stop combing her hair to give it that Boris feel.
Liz Truss a victory for indigenous English peoples PM ✅
Cool.
Please don’t make fun of any other leaders!!
THANK YOU 🙏
