Liz Truss confirmed next UK Prime Minister

Liz Truss, the incumbent Foreign Secretary, will become the UK's third female Prime Minister on 6 September after securing a 57% to 43% win over rival Rishi Sunak.

Liz Truss said little about Rishi Sunak in her speech, and did not offer him a handshake after the result was announced.

Liz Truss signalled to hold off a general election in 2024.
