After a drawn-out Conservative leadership contest, the country’s ruling party now has a new leader.
Johnson and Truss are set to travel up to Balmoral on Tuesday and relations between the two politicians are cordial — Truss was among the high-level ministers that remained loyal to Johnson in the final death throes of his leadership, which by the end had been engulfed by several political controversies and scandals, while other top officials jumped ship., but would remain in office while his successor was chosen.
Truss has promised to unveil measures to help struggling Brits within a week of taking office but has so far ruled out energy rationing — although she might not be able to fulfil that promise. "Once in power, Liz Truss will likely be forced to take more drastic action to prevent winter supply shortages," Eurasia Group's Mujtaba Rahman and Henning Gloystein said in a research note last week.
