sep 6, 2022 - Liz Truss becomes Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Description:

Following the resignation as prime minister of Boris Johnson, Truss, as the duly elected leader of the Conservatives, the majority party in Parliament, was received by Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle near Aberdeen, Scotland, the first and only prime minister not received by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. She became prime minister amid an ongoing cost of living crisis and an energy supply crisis, in response to which her government implemented an Energy Price Guarantee limiting energy prices for households, businesses and public sector organisations, and announced various tax cuts in a mini-budget.
