Liz Truss new British PM
2022-09-05
Oh, how I miss this Lady ------>
[The Sun] LIZ Truss
[she must have finished her crash course in Russian and Ukrainian geography]
will be Britain's next Prime Minister after she today vanquished Rishi Sunak to be crowned the new Tory leader.

She will succeed Boris Johnson as the country's 56th premier after being formally appointed by the Queen at Balmoral tomorrow.

The Foreign Secretary easily saw off the former Chancellor, beating him by 81,325 votes to 60,399 - a 57.4 per cent majority.

Ms Truss has been the frontrunner throughout the bruising summer contest, streaking ahead in the polls by wooing grassroots Tory members with her promise of bumper tax cuts.

#3  Her solution seems to be channeling Jimmy Carter. She is DOA.

#2  Doutbful, Darth - this article helpfully notes Truss voted to remain in the EU, among other indicators; that's a big red flag in my book. She looks like another go along to get along type, with that slow climb up the ladder of UK politics.
