Liz Truss has been named the new Prime Minister after winning the Conservative leadership race by the narrowest margin in recent years.

Teen Lib Dem turned Thatcher aspirant was named Boris Johnson's successor with 57% of the vote, while his rival Rishi Sunak won the support of 43% of Tory members.

She will become Britain's 56th PM after an official meeting with the Queen at Balmoral on Tuesday, where the monarch will ask her to form a government.

Ms Truss will get to work immediately, likely using the plane trip to London to put the finishing touches on her first speech and her new Cabinet.

She will address the nation from Downing Street around 4 p.m., where she is expected to set out her vision for the country.

Ms Truss was criticized during the leadership race for failing to detail some of her plans, particularly regarding the cost of living crisis.
