From activist to prime minister of Great Britain: Who's Liz Truss?

But who's Truss? It may not be a name known as its predecessor, but the Trus' promise to return to basic conservative values such as lowering taxes was exactly what members of the party, who believed and gave him the vote.

And, more importantly, as a foreign secretary, she remained loyal to Johnson to the end, while other ministers abandoned him. So she won her favor with Johnson's faithful.

The supporters of Liz Truss' base conservatives see in her the steadfast, persistent and determined qualities they admired at Margaret Thancher, an image that Truss has tried to cultivate.

But despite changing its political positions and loyalty over the years, these words often occur when friends and family are asked to describe its character as “ambious”).

Serious political debate was a agenda in the Truss family, according to Francescu, her brother. It must have seemed inevitable that she would get involved in politics when she grew up, but no one in her family would have predicted the way she finally took.

Born at Oxford in 1975, Truss had a father math professor, and mother a nurse, “left-wing”.

After she graduated from Oxford, she worked as an accountant for Shell, and Cable & Wireless, and married the accountant's colleague Hughes O'Leary in 2000. The couple have two children.

Truss stood as a conservative candidate for Hemsworth, West Yorkshire, in the 2001 general election, but lost. Truss suffered another defeat in Calder Valley, also in West Yorkshire, 2005.

But, with its unbroken political ambitions, she was chosen as adviser to Greenwich, southeast London, in 2006, and from 2008 also worked for the centre of the right for the Reformation.

conservative leader David Cameron placed the Truss at “list A” of candidates with priority for the 2010 elections, and she was chosen to run for the safe spot of Southwestern Norfolk.

But she quickly faced a battle against non-election by the conservative local association, after it was found to have had a connection with conservative MP Mark Field several years ago.

The attempt to bring it down failed, and Truss continued to win the country by more than 13,000 votes.

In 2012, just over two years after becoming an MP, she joined the government as minister of education, and in 2014 she was established as an environmental secretary. She became the first Chancellor and justice secretary, but had several high profile clashes with the judiciary.

When Boris Johnson became prime minister in 2019, Trus was transferred to the secretary of international trade a job that meant meetings with global and business political leaders to promote UK PLC.

In 2021, at the age of 46, she moved to one of the highest jobs in the government, taking office from Dominic Raab as foreign secretary.
