Truss will officially become prime minister on Tuesday after Boris Johnson has informed the Queen that he is resigning.

Truss will spend the day finalising her choices for Cabinet and wider ministerial roles and writing her first prime ministerial speech.

The Conservative Party leadership contest saw MPs whittle the list of possible candidates down to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.

She won with 81,326 votes from the Tory membership, to Rishi Sunak’s 60,399.

Some world leaders have been reacting since the announcement, such as:

EU Commission president ‘looking forward to constructive relationship’ with Liz Truss.

While European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic, who has been leading the Brussels side in talks on implementing the Brexit arrangements, said a “positive relationship” between the UK and EU “is of great strategic importance.”
