Liz Truss has taken over as leader of Britain鈥檚 Conservative Party and has therefore also become Prime Minister. She won the internal party race to succeed Boris Johnson by promising that she鈥檒l cut taxes and deliver economic growth. But the country is facing strong economic headwinds with soaring energy prices, relatively low productivity and the highest inflation rate of any G7 nation. Post-Brexit trade frictions between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK remain a sore point among Tory MPs, a result of the deal struck with the European Union aimed at avoiding a hard border between The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Does Liz Truss have the political skills and policies needed to reverse a sharp decline in support for the Conservative Party? And what will facing a new PM mean for the country鈥檚 opposition Labour Party?
