32 years after Margaret Thatcher, her model, Liz Truss will lead the UK. The current foreign secretary was chosen by Conservative Party voters to succeed the scandal-ridden Boris Johnson.
Her victory was certain, but Liz Truss does not savor its officialization. Monday, September 5, she obtained 57% of Conservative Party members, after two months of campaigning. The third woman to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is particularly awaited on inflation and the explosion of energy bills. Described as the new “Iron Lady”, she wants to lower taxes and ease labor laws to revive the economy.
Liz Truss, who began her political career on the center-left, now borrows from Margaret Thatcher, even in her outfits and her poses. His relations with France did not start well. A few days ago, while still Minister of Foreign Affairs, she refused to qualify Emmanuel Macron as a friend of the United Kingdom. Liz Truss will succeed Boris Johnson on Tuesday, September 6 afternoon. In the early days, she should devote herself to domestic politics, where the files pile up.
