With repeated nods to the former prime minister Margaret Thatcher and a recipe for coping with the cost of living crisis, focusing on: low taxes and liberal economic measuresLiz Truss has usurped the title of the new Iron Lady in the UK.
From 47 yearsTruss was born in the English city of Oxford, into a family she herself has described as left-wing. He already started his political activism in his university phase, with an initial leaning towards the Liberal Democratic Party.
It was then that his sympathy for the Conservative Party changed, although his professional career initially led not to politics, but to private business, as an accountant. In 2000, she married her husband, Hugh O’Leary, with whom she has two children.
She first tried to become an MP in the House of Commons in the 2001 elections. He lost on this first attempt and also on the second four years later, both times to the West Yorkshire constituencies. It was not until 2006 that he took up public office as a councilor in Greenwich, just outside London.
A year later, David Cameron noticed her and in the 2010 election he chose to run her for deputy in a seat the ‘Tories’ took for granted, in the bastion of South West Norfolk. The party’s bases tried unsuccessfully to challenge his candidacy for the “affair” with the deputy and Truss eventually entered the House of Commons.
His entry into government came just two years later, in the Ministry of Education, and in 2014 he made the leap to Environment.
Truss opposed the Brexit and when it was confirmed that the UK would leave the EU, he made an effort to defend the opportunities that this divorce brought.
With Boris Johnson already prime minister, she assumed responsibility for international trade within the cabinet in 2019 and was appointed Secretary of State two years later. now it becomes the third woman living in Downing Streetafter Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990) and Theresa May (2016-2019), all three members of the same party.
