PRIME MINISTER OF THE UK
Liz Truss has been announced as the next Prime Minister of the UK after beating opponent Rishi Sunak in the Tory leadership contest.
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. The Cabinet minister had been widely tipped to be the next Conservative Party leader from early on in the leadership race.
