Britain will officially have a new prime minister today when Liz Truss meets with Queen Elizabeth II

Britain will officially have a new prime minister today when Liz Truss meets with Queen Elizabeth II and receives the official go-ahead to form a new government. Truss won the Conservative Party leadership contest on Monday, defeating Rishi Sunak after a campaign that stretched through the summer. Now she must take charge of one of the world’s largest economies and appeal to tens of millions of voters who do not appear to be overly excited about their new leader. Only 18% of Brits said they had a favorable view of Truss as she prepared to take the job while 44% said they view her unfavorably, according to a poll conducted before Truss was announced as the winner. Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson also made his final speech today and tried to reassure Brits that the UK will “come out stronger the other side” despite it being a “tough time for the economy.”
