Liz Truss has pronounced this Tuesday her first speech as prime minister from United Kingdom. He has done so a few hours after his predecessor, Boris Johnson, presented his resignation and after receiving the blessing of Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
After 5:00 p.m. local time, the new leader of the British Conservative Party arrived in front of the gates of number 10 Downing Street, where a group of supporters were waiting for her in the rain, and addressed, to cheers and applause, to the British people.
“We are going to transform the UK into a nation of aspirations, with good paying jobs, safe streets and where everyone has the opportunities they deserve,” Truss began. Not without first paying a small tribute to Johnson, whom he has thanked for carrying out Brexit and whom, he has assured, “history will remember him as a prime minister of great importance”, he pointed out.
