Liz Truss: what will new PM do for the UK? Promising to deliver a bold plan Liz Truss has given no details of how she intends to tackle the cost of living crisis and spend more, while cutting taxes.

Liz Truss new PM - what happens next? 23,962 views Sep 7, 2022 Addressing the nation for the first time as prime minister, Liz Truss insisted that the country could "ride out the storm" caused by the energy crisis. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe) Before she arrived in Downing Street to make that speech, stormy weather had made her journey to and from Balmoral to metaphorically "kiss hands" with the Queen a challenge in itself. But once she was there she claimed that although it would not be easy to deal with the "severe global headwinds" that were "holding Britain back", she was determined to deliver.

UK's new PM: Johnson tells country to support Liz Truss 18,796 views Sep 6, 2022 Boris Johnson left Downing Street a few hours ago: his parting shot a freewheeling defence of his record in office, a complaint that the rules of the race had changed halfway through and a classical allusion hinting at a potential comeback.
Liz Truss is in Scotland awaiting the queen's invitation to form a government and return here to No 10. Her in-tray is already bulging with everything from the cost of living crisis and the Northern Ireland protocol to the war in Ukraine.
