Boris Johnson, the Tory party’s chief minister, resigned last month following a number of protests from high-ranking government officials. Johnson leads the caretaker government and will be replaced when the new leader of Tory party is elected.
In an environment of rising energy prices, and an increase in living costs within the UK, the battle for the premiership is taking place. Both of these candidates promised to help Britain get out of crisis, if elected to the top job.
“I am focused on seeing our economy and country through to better days by growing the size of the pie, boosting wages, and supporting jobs to save us from the misery of recession,”Truss wrote an opinion article published Sunday in Daily Mail.
