Liz Truss Becomes U.K. Prime Minister

Liz Truss has met Queen Elizabeth to be appointed prime minister, succeeding Boris Johnson and becoming Britain’s fourth leader in six years, the Times of London reports.

Financial Times: “Liz Truss may have inherited an 80-seat House of Commons majority from Boris Johnson, but Britain’s incoming prime minister is facing a restive parliamentary party that may not be wholly behind her new agenda.”

“One of the first major challenges for Truss will be to shore up her position among the party’s 357 MPs, a majority of whom did not support her leadership bid.”
