Liz Truss: The Thatcher acolyte who could be new British PM

Hindustan Times  

LONDON: Britain’s foreign secretary has emerged as the top contender to replace Boris Johnson as Conservative Party leader and prime minister. Truss has also warned China to learn lessons from the West’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said Beijing would face consequences if it did not “play by the rules”. Beyond tax cuts funded by more borrowing, Truss has said the debt incurred from the Covid-19 pandemic should be treated like a “war debt” and should be paid back over a longer period. In Britain’s 2016 referendum on whether to leave the European Union, Truss backed the losing “remain” side.
