British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has described herself as a rebel who wants to change the way the British government works. Truss told about this in an interview published on Friday, July 22, with the newspaper Daily Telegraph.
“I see myself as a rebel because I want to change things,” said the 46-year-old politician.
Truss believes that the country needs urgent change, as the British economy has not experienced strong growth over the past two decades.
In addition, the candidate for the post of the country’s next prime minister believes that the UK has experienced a “powerful global post-pandemic economic shock”, and is currently experiencing the consequences of the conflict in Ukraine.
“I want to do things differently, be bold, so that we become a great power with high growth and high productivity,” Truss continued.
According to a poll among experts conducted by Izvestia, the current Foreign Minister Liz Truss could defeat former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak if the vote took place right now.
Life peer Richard Balfe, a member of the House of Lords for the Conservative Party, said on July 21 that Rishi Sunak is inclined to take more cautious steps in foreign policy than his rival for the post of prime minister, Liz Truss. He compared Truss’ behavior and politics to the Cold War.
Britain will elect a new head of government after the country’s previous prime minister, Boris Johnson, announced his resignation on July 7. This happened against the background of the fact that more than 50 politicians left his government. None of the new candidates for the post of prime minister of the country supported the idea of the presence of ex-prime minister Johnson in the cabinet.
