Liz Truss, new UK PM

After a grueling party contest, Liz Truss confirmed as PM Johnson's successor, beating her rival former finance minister Rishi Sunak by about 57 to 43 percent.

Leadership contest began in July after Johnson announced his departure following slew of scandals. Truss faces UK’s worst economic crisis in decades amid cost-of-living crisis. Truss has vowed ‘bold plan’ to address tax cuts and energy crisis.

YouGov poll in late August found 52 percent thought Truss would make ‘poor’ or ‘terrible’ PM, while 43% said they did not trust her ‘at all’ to deal with cost-of-living crisis.

Press TV interviews Robert Oulds, executive director of ImpACT International from London and Tony Gosling, historian and investigative journalist from Gloucestershire to look at what kind of country Truss is going to inherit and what challenges she is going to face.
