Liz Truss (born 1975) is a British politician who was prime minister from September to October 2022. In her youth she was a Liberal Democrat, but defected to the Conservatives in 1996. After several bids for public office, she was elected as an MP in 2010. She served continuously in government under the Cameron, May and Johnson ministries, lastly as foreign secretary. After Johnson resigned in July 2022, Truss ran in the election to replace him, defeating Rishi Sunak and becoming the leader of the party. Two days after her appointment as prime minister, Queen Elizabeth II died, freezing government business for ten days during a national mourning period; after its conclusion, Truss's ministry announced a mini-budget which was received badly by markets, the fallout from which subsequently engulfed her government. Facing a rapid loss of confidence in her leadership, Truss resigned fifty days into her premiership and was succeeded by Sunak, becoming the shortest-serving British prime minister. (Full article...)
