  • Liz Truss’s path to becoming the new leader of the Conservative Party — and as a result, the UK’s new prime minister — turned into a coronation in the end.
  • In the just over two years that Truss has before she must face the British public in a general election, she faces the huge task of turning around a moribund economy beset by rampant inflation, anemic growth and the continuing consequences of Brexit.
  • In her previous role as UK foreign secretary, Truss was a driving force behind the highly controversial Northern Ireland Protocol bill, a domestic law which would see Britain overrule the Protocol agreed with the EU, something which would be a breach of international law.
