Liz Truss

Liz Truss has been elected prime minister of Great Britain, making history as the third woman after Margaret Tharcher and Theresa May to lead the British government and the Conservative Party.

The 47-year-old won the race against former Secretary of the Treasury Rishi Sunak.

But who is Liz Truss, a politician who is described as behaving and speaking as others want.

Liz Truss studied philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Oxford.

Since she was a student she was president of the Oxford University Liberal Democrat group and supported the legalization of cannabis.

After graduating she joined the Conservative Party, although she was raised by parents who supported Labour.

In 2006 she was elected as a councilor in Greenwich before becoming the MP for South West Norfolk in 2010.

Under the governments of David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson, the 47-year-old has served as Minister of Education, Secretary of State for the Environment, Secretary of Justice, Treasury, International Trade Relations.

She has also been Minister for Women and Equality and recently served as Foreign Secretary.

Liz Truss supported the position that Britain should stay in the European Union, but after the referendum she began to strongly support the Brexit process.

Critics say she risked a trade war with the European Union over the stalemate over the Northern Ireland protocol when she wanted to scrap large parts of the deal.

She is one of the longest serving members of the Conservatives and is often considered to be a follower and follower of Margaret Thatcher, even in her photo and dress she resembles the 'iron lady'.

While serving as Foreign Secretary, Truss has become increasingly active on social media, showing off her diplomatic jet trips around the world. Her stance on Putin and Russia has led to a rise in popularity within conservatives.

But when the country faces inflation and the energy crisis, it is expected to see what the prime minister's plan is to help British families.
