Liz Truss has been announced as the new Prime Minister of the UK, beating former Chancellor Rishi Sunak. The election was announced after Boris Johnson announced his resignation just under two months ago.
Ms Truss, the current foreign secretary, will be handed the keys to Number 10 Downing Street on Tuesday after Boris Johnson officially tenders his resignation in a meeting with the Queen at Balmoral. Ms Truss has been tipped as the new PM for many weeks now, but it was officially confirmed this afternoon after she gained just over 57 per cent of the vote among Conservative Party members.
Politicians across Greater Manchester have been quick to react to the news with Tory supporters calling for unity among party members after what has often been a divisive contest, and Labour supporters pointing to the many significant challenges Ms Truss faces. Most notably spiralling energy prices, the cost-of-living crisis, the continuing crises facing the NHS, and the war in Ukraine.

For Bolton, For Bolton, For Bolton. Congratulations to the new Leader, @trussliz. We’re ready to hit the ground running and I will make sure that our new Prime Minister is no stranger to Bolton (she’s already been once this year!)"
Chris Clarkson, who was voted in for Heywood and Middleton in 2019 too, said: "Congratulations @trussliz, the next Prime Minister and leader of the @Conservatives. It's time to unite and get on with addressing the important issues our country faces."
