Liz Truss is a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for a brief period in 2022.
Member of Parliament for south-west Norfolk, she was a member of the Conservative Party and held various cabinet positions before becoming Prime Minister, including Secretary of State for International Trade and Foreign Secretary.
She was the fifteenth and final PM to serve under Elizabeth II who died just two days after appointing Truss.
Her tenure as Prime Minister was marked by significant economic challenges and political turmoil, leading to her resignation after just 49 days in office, making her the shortest-serving Prime Minister in UK history.
Truss's gung-ho economic policies, particularly her proposed tax cuts and energy plans, sparked controversy and criticism during her time in office.
The 2024 General Election resulted in Truss losing her seat when defending a majority of over 26,000.
