Liz Truss has been named as the
next Prime Minister of the UK – the fourth time a member of the Conservative
Party has been elected in six years. This has stimulated a process of handing
over of power in the U.K. government. The new Prime Minister is to meet the
Queen of England for which she has to fly to Balmoral instead of Buckingham
Palace. She needs her Cabinet in quickly, with Kwasi Kwarteng to be the
Chancellor and Suella Braverman the Home Secretary along with the rest of the
reshuffling. 

Liz won the tightest margin in
the history of the Tory since the current rules – forcing a vote by members –
were established in 1998. She
secured 57 percent compared to 66 percent of Boris Johnson.

After the announcement, Boris
Johnson spent his 1,139th night in the office. In his final weeks he had based
himself at Chequers. Meanwhile, Liz prepares to take the office and has final
conversations with her team and MPs. On Tuesday, Johnson delivered a farewell
speech outside Downing Street before travelling to Balmoral to submit his
resignation to the Queen. He said
that he was departing after an “unexpected relay race”, putting
forward his point that his premiership was cut short after rules were
“changed halfway through”. 

At around 4 pm, Liz Truss is
expected to deliver her first speech at Downing Street, narrating her vision
for Britain. 

On Wednesday, it will be found
out if Liz offers Rishi Sunak a job in order to appease allies and if he
accepts or goes back to the back benches.

At noon, she will meet Keir
Starmer for the first time at PMQs. The Labour’s leader can subject her to a
number of questions on her lack of definite messaging on cost of living crisis.

According to Liz, she will
announce help on energy bills by the end of the week. This can happen on
Thursday or Friday.

The new Prime Minister can
arrange for a press conference or give a statement to the House of Commons or
let her new Chancellor take care of it. 

Her first foreign trips could be
to Dublin or Ukraine. This will take place around mid-September.
