Truss is expected to make her mark with a speech outside Number 10 Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon before making her first appearance as prime minister in the House of Commons at midday on Wednesday. From tomorrow, the work of staffing her government begins.

An immediate challenge for Tras will be dealing with energy accuracy. She promised to present a package of measures within a week.

Most political commentators expect a conservative government from the new prime minister, who is eligible to run out of five years by the end of 2024.

Speaking after the result was announced, Truss said she was honored to be elected to the Tory leadership.

In fact, with a dose of humor, he said it was the longest “job interview” in history.

She spoke highly of her rival while thanking her predecessor Boris Johnson, saying: “Boris, you got Brexit done, you melted down Jeremy Corbyn, you got the coronavirus vaccine out and you stood up to Putin. You are admired from Kyiv to Carlisle.”
