'''Mary Elizabeth Truss''' (born 26 July 1975) is a British politician who served as [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]] and [[Leader of the Conservative Party (UK)|Leader of the Conservative Party]] from September to October 2022. On her fiftieth day in office,<!--6 September to 25 October inclusive is 50 days--> she stepped down amid [[October 2022 United Kingdom government crisis|a government crisis]], making her the [[List of prime ministers of the United Kingdom by length of tenure|shortest-serving prime minister]] in British history. The [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|member of Parliament]] (MP) for [[South West Norfolk (UK Parliament constituency)|South West Norfolk]] since 2010, Truss previously held various [[Cabinet of the United Kingdom|Cabinet]] positions under prime ministers [[David Cameron]], [[Theresa May]] and [[Boris Johnson]], lastly as [[Foreign Secretary|foreign secretary]] from 2021 to 2022. |
|||
Truss studied [[philosophy, politics and economics]] at [[Merton College, Oxford]], and was the president of the [[Oxford University Liberal Democrats]]. In 1996, she joined the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]]. She worked at [[Royal Dutch Shell]] and [[Cable & Wireless plc|Cable & Wireless]] and was the deputy director of the think tank [[Reform (think tank)|Reform]]. After two unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the [[House of Commons (UK)|House of Commons]], she became the MP for South West Norfolk at the [[2010 general election (UK)|2010 general election]]. As a [[backbencher#United Kingdom|backbencher]], she called for reform in several policy areas including childcare, mathematics in education and the economy. Truss co-founded the [[Free Enterprise Group]] of Conservative MPs and wrote or co-wrote a number of papers and books, including ''[[After the Coalition]]'' and ''[[Britannia Unchained]]''. |
|||
Truss was the [[parliamentary under-secretary of state for childcare and education]] from 2012 to 2014 before Cameron appointed her [[secretary of state for the environment, food and rural affairs]] in [[2014 British cabinet reshuffle|a cabinet reshuffle]]. Although she campaigned for the UK to remain in the [[European Union]], Truss supported [[Brexit]] following the outcome of the [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|2016 referendum]]. Following Cameron's resignation in 2016, his successor Theresa May appointed her [[secretary of state for justice]] and [[lord chancellor]], making Truss the first woman to serve as lord chancellor in the office's thousand-year history; in the aftermath of the [[2017 general election (UK)|2017 general election]], she was demoted to [[chief secretary to the Treasury]]. After May announced her resignation in May 2019, Truss supported Johnson's successful bid to become Conservative leader and prime minister. He appointed Truss [[secretary of state for international trade]] and [[president of the Board of Trade]] in July and subsequently to the additional role of [[minister for women and equalities]] in September. Johnson promoted Truss to foreign secretary in the [[2021 British cabinet reshuffle|2021 cabinet reshuffle]]; during her time in the position, she led negotiations on the [[Northern Ireland Protocol]] and the UK's response to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. |
|||
In September 2022, Truss defeated [[Rishi Sunak]] in [[July–September 2022 Conservative Party leadership election|a leadership election]] to succeed Johnson, who had resigned because of an [[July 2022 United Kingdom government crisis|earlier government crisis]], and was appointed as prime minister by [[Elizabeth II]] two days before [[Death and state funeral of Elizabeth II|the monarch's death]]; her government's business was subsequently suspended during a [[National day of mourning|national mourning period]] of ten days. In response to the [[2021–present United Kingdom cost-of-living crisis|rising cost of living]] and [[2021 United Kingdom natural gas supplier crisis|increased energy prices]], [[Truss ministry|her ministry]] announced the [[Energy Price Guarantee]]. The government then announced [[September 2022 United Kingdom mini-budget|large-scale tax cuts and borrowing]], which led to financial instability and were largely reversed. Facing mounting criticism and loss of confidence in her leadership, Truss announced her resignation as leader of the Conservative Party on 20 October. Sunak was [[October 2022 Conservative Party leadership election|elected unopposed]] as her successor, and appointed prime minister on 25 October. As at<!--"As at" is correct. Do not change to "as of". --> 2023, Truss remains in the House of Commons as a backbencher. |

In 1977 Truss and her parents moved to Warsaw, but returned to Britain after John and Priscilla found it "grim".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=7–8}} After living briefly in [[Kidderminster]], [[Worcestershire]], the family moved to [[Paisley, Renfrewshire|Paisley]] in Scotland when Truss was four years old, where she attended West Primary School.{{Sfnm|1a1=Wheeler|1a2=Francis|1y=2022|2a1=Cole|2a2=Heale|2y=2022|2pp=8–9}} In 1985 they moved south to [[Leeds]], where Truss attended [[Roundhay School]]; she later said in 2022 that at the school she "saw kids{{Nbsp}}... being let down", a claim which was criticised as inaccurate by several former Roundhay pupils.{{Sfnm|1a1=Cole|1a2=Heale|1y=2022|1pp=11–13|2a1=Vinter|2y=2022|3a1=Pengelly|3y=2022}} When Truss was 12 she and her family spent a year in [[Burnaby|Burnaby, British Columbia]], where she attended Parkcrest Elementary School whilst her father taught at [[Simon Fraser University]].{{Sfn|Woods|2022}} Truss praised the Canadian curriculum and the attitude that it was "really good to be top of the class", which she contrasted with her education at Roundhay.{{Sfn|Asthana|2012}} |

Truss's parents had initially wanted her to study at the [[University of Cambridge]], but Truss instead elected to go to [[University of Oxford|Oxford]] in what her biographers, Cole and Heale, call a "bout of teenage rebellion".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=17}} She applied to [[Merton College, Oxford|Merton College]] but was instead [[Winter Pool|pooled]] to the all-women's [[St Hilda's College, Oxford|St Hilda's College]]; annoyed, she then complained to both colleges, after which she was accepted by Merton and began her studies there in September 1993.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=17–18}} Truss read [[philosophy, politics and economics]] and graduated in 1996.{{Sfn|McSmith|2014b}} During her time at university, Truss was active in the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]]. She became the president of the [[Oxford University Liberal Democrats]] in her first year{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=24}} and a member of the national executive committee of [[Young Liberals (UK)|Liberal Democrat Youth and Students]] (LDYS) in 1995.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=27}} During Truss's previous, unsuccessful bid for the LDYS executive, the party's leader, [[Paddy Ashdown]], said she was "a good debater and is utterly fearless".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=27}} As a Liberal Democrat, Truss supported the [[Republicanism in the United Kingdom|abolition of the monarchy]] and the [[legalisation of cannabis]],{{Sfnm|1a1=Syal|1a2=Sinmaz|1a3=Quinn|1a4=Walker|1y=2022|2a1=Cole|2a2=Heale|2y=2022|2p=28}} and campaigned against the [[Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994]].{{Sfn|Steerpike|2022}} However, by November 1995, Truss had become critical of the Liberal Democrats, as she "realised the Tory Party was saying quite sane things"; in her last year at the university, she resigned from the LDYS.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=28}} By 1996, Truss had joined the Conservative Party.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=32}} |

Whilst working at Shell, Truss served as the chair of the [[Lewisham Deptford (UK Parliament constituency)|Lewisham Deptford]] [[Conservative Association]] from 1998 to 2000, having been introduced to the branch by her friend and later Conservative MP [[Jackie Doyle-Price]].{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=32}}{{Sfn|"BBC Democracy Live: Elizabeth Truss MP".

At the [[2001 UK general election|2001 general election]] Truss was selected for the [[Safe seat|safe]] Labour seat of [[Hemsworth (UK Parliament constituency)|Hemsworth]], [[West Yorkshire]], coming a distant second but achieving a 3.2 per cent [[Swing (politics)|swing]] to the Conservatives, thought impressive by her party colleagues.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=39}}{{Sfn|McSmith|2014a}} The election saw the Conservatives make a net gain of one seat, which was considered a disappointment;{{Sfn|Bennie|Jones|Scully|Trystan|2002|p=230}} the party leader [[William Hague]] subsequently resigned, with Truss supporting the former [[Secretary of State for Defence|defence secretary]] [[Michael Portillo]]'s unsuccessful leadership campaign.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=40}} |

In January 2005 Sue Catling, the parliamentary candidate for the [[Calder Valley (UK Parliament constituency)|Calder Valley]] constituency, was forced to resign by the local Conservative Association because of an affair with the association's chairman.{{Sfn|Stokes|2005}} Catling claimed that the members of the party that had opposed her were sexist and said that she was "accused of everything except murder and paedophilia".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=43}} Truss, who was selected as the candidate for the seat, [[Calder Valley (UK Parliament constituency)#2005 election|narrowly lost]] to the Labour incumbent after an active Conservative campaign which ''[[The Yorkshire Post]]'' described as "[[Blitzkrieg]]".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=44–46}} Beginning in 2004, Truss embarked on an 18-month affair with the Conservative MP [[Mark Field]], which ended shortly after the following year's election.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=45}} |

Following the 2005 general election [[David Cameron]] [[2005 Conservative Party leadership election|replaced]] [[Michael Howard]] as leader, and Truss was added to [[Conservative A-List|the party's A-List]], a list of potential Conservative candidates;{{Sfn|McSmith|2014a}} in October 2009 she was selected for the constituency of [[South West Norfolk (UK Parliament constituency)|South West Norfolk]] by members of the local Conservative Association, winning over 50 per cent of the vote in the first round of the final against 5 other candidates, including the future deputy prime minister [[Thérèse Coffey]].{{Sfn|Hope|2009}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=54}} Shortly after her selection, some members of the constituency association objected to Truss's selection because of her failure to declare her affair with Field.{{Sfn|Gosden|2009}} ''[[The Mail on Sunday]]'' was the first to report on the affair, and party members claimed to have been misled over Truss's "[[skeleton in the cupboard]]".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=54}} A motion was proposed to terminate Truss's candidature; the proponents of Truss's deselection were branded the "Turnip [[Taliban]]" by Conservative Party officials and the press, including by the ''Mail'',{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=56}} a reference to stereotypes about Norfolk being a county of farmers.{{Sfn|Syal|Sinmaz|Quinn|Walker|2022}} There was also controversy over the fact that Truss was not from Norfolk, with some in the association asking for a local candidate and saying that she had been "parachuted in".{{Sfn|"Former 'Turnip Taliban' dissenter now backing Truss to be PM". Eastern Daily Press}} On 16 November, the motion was put to the association: following both sides making their arguments, including what Cole and Heale call an "impassioned" speech from Truss, it was defeated by 132 votes to 37.{{Sfn|"Tory woman wins selection battle".

Truss was elected as an MP in the [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010 general election]], which saw 148 other Conservatives become MPs for the first time;{{Sfn|Jones|Norton|Kelly|2014|p=215}} many of what ''[[The Independent (East Hampton)|The Independent]]'' described as the "golden generation" would later reach high ranks in government.{{Sfn|Grice|2014}} The Conservatives did not reach an [[overall majority]] in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] and entered into [[Cameron–Clegg coalition|a coalition government]] with the Liberal Democrats, with Cameron becoming prime minister.{{Sfn|Rogers|2010}} Following her election to Parliament, Truss campaigned for issues relating to her constituency, including the retention of the [[Tornado GR4]] airbase at [[RAF Marham]] in her constituency;{{Sfn|"Campaign aim to keep Tornado base at RAF Marham".

The book advocated for a number of policies, including a reduction in the top rate of tax to 40 pence per pound and the introduction of a [[carbon tax]] to reduce pollution.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=77}} On the publication, Truss wrote: |

{{Blockquote|text=Our message must be that the state cannot do everything: while the government can help, it can never fully solve any individual's problems. The [[NHS]] can't keep you healthy if you don't eat or exercise properly. A teacher can't get you the grades if you aren’t prepared to work. The [[job centre]] can't find you work if you aren’t prepared to write a CV.{{Sfn|Truss|2011}}}} |

Another book by the same authors, ''[[Britannia Unchained]]'', was published in September 2012. The book attracted controversy for claiming that "the British are among the worst idlers in the world.

Truss soon became well known amongst members of Parliament in Norfolk for her frequent [[photo op]]s but was well respected amongst Conservative MPs, who recognised her as dedicated and hard-working.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=72–74}} One of her staff members said that Truss's "attention to the local stuff was just superb".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=72}} Some of Truss's earliest contributions to parliamentary discourse were on the subject of education:{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=74}} she advocated for more rigorous teaching in school subjects, especially mathematics,{{Sfn|McGurran|2012}} calling for mathematics lessons to be compulsory for all students until the age of 18 and expressing concern about a perceived overreliance on calculators from [[primary school]] pupils.{{Sfn|Coughlan|2012}}{{Sfn|McGurran|2011}} Early in her tenure as justice secretary, in response to a question on what advice she would give young women, she replied simply "be good at maths".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=135}} Truss criticised "[giving] [[media studies]] the same value as [[Further Mathematics|further maths]]" and suggested in 2011 that students should have to sit [[General Certificate of Secondary Education|GCSEs]] for "5 traditional academic subjects".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=74–75}} |

In September 2012 Truss was appointed as parliamentary under-secretary of state for education and stepped back from the leadership of the FEG, with Kwarteng taking her place.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=85}} Truss was pleased with her appointment, and praised [[Michael Gove]], the [[Secretary of State for Education|secretary of state]] for the department; she also formed a friendly rivalry with the future [[Secretary of State for Health and Social Care|health secretary]] [[Matt Hancock]].{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=86 and 90}} In January 2013, Truss wrote a [[white paper]]{{Emdash}}''More Great Childcare''{{Sfn|Wadsworth|2022}}{{Emdash}}in which she proposed increasing the maximum number of children [[Nanny|childminders]] could look after at a time from three to four, as a means of reducing childcare costs.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=91–92}}{{Sfn|Wintour|Malik|2013}} The press, including Conservative-leaning papers like ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' and ''[[The Times]]'', were largely hostile to the plan. The former claimed that prices would not fall; the latter claimed that "her appointment signal[led] a rapid deregulation of the sector"; and the ''[[The Guardian|Guardian]]'' columnist [[Polly Toynbee]] challenged Truss to demonstrate how to care for so many children on her own.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=91–92}}{{Sfn|Jowit|2013}} Following a negative response from [[trade unions]] and childminders, Truss met with the deputy prime minister, [[Nick Clegg]], who told her that "some of this is fine" but the maximum childminder increase went "much too far", and advised her to revise the proposal;{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=94}} Truss ignored Clegg and pushed ahead with the plan, angering Clegg, who then blocked the proposals.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=95}}{{Sfn|Dominiczak|2013}}{{Sfn|Stratton|2013}} Truss also announced proposals to reform [[A-level]]s by concentrating exams at the end of two-year courses and said that the UK should attempt to "out-educate" countries in Asia.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=98}}{{Sfn|"A-level shake up will 'end the treadmill' of repeated exams".

During her two years in the department, Truss launched a ten-year strategy to counter falling bee populations,{{Sfn|Watt|2014}} approved the limited temporary lifting of a [[European Union]] ban on the use of two [[neonicotinoid]] [[pesticide]]s{{Sfn|Carrington|2015}}{{Sfn|Carrington|2012}} and cut subsidies for [[solar panel]]s on agricultural land.{{Sfn|"Solar farms are a blight on the landscape, says minister". BBC News}} In March 2015 Truss was one of two cabinet ministers to vote against the government's proposal to mandate [[plain packaging]] for cigarettes.{{Sfn|Pitel|2015}} When she had been asked previously about the issue during a constituency meeting, Truss said "when it comes to things like this, I take a more [[libertarian]] approach{{Nbsp}}... I don't know if it's the government's role to regulate this".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=72}} |

{{anchor|That is a disgrace}}At the [[Conservative Party Conference (UK)|Conservative Party conference]] in September 2014 Truss made a speech in which she said "we import two thirds of our cheese. That is a disgrace" and "in December, I'll be in Beijing, opening up new pork markets".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=117}} Four days after Truss delivered the speech, parts of the video were featured on the satirical panel show ''[[Have I Got News for You|Have I Got News For You]]'';{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=117}} the awkward, stilted delivery led her to be mocked and clips of the speech went viral online.{{Sfn|Cole|2022}} During the [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|2016 referendum on leaving the European Union]], Truss endorsed [[Remain (Brexit)|Remain]], saying that the Conservatives had "a golden chance to reform Britain over the next few years" and to avoid "[spending] that time negotiating Britain's exit from the European Union".{{Sfn|Marsh|2023|p=120}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=124}} The referendum resulted in the defeat of Remain and Cameron's resignation; the [[Home Secretary|home secretary]] [[Theresa May]] won [[2016 Conservative Party leadership election|the ensuing leadership election]] and subsequently became leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister.{{Sfn|Seldon|Newell|2020|pp=30, 40–41}} |

In July 2016 Truss was appointed as [[Secretary of State for Justice (UK)|secretary of state for justice]] and [[Lord Chancellor|lord chancellor]] in the [[first May ministry]], becoming the first female lord chancellor in the office's thousand-year history.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=129}}{{refn|Excluding [[Eleanor of Provence]], who exercised the powers of the lord chancellor in 1253 but was not formally appointed to the office.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=132}}{{Sfn|Bowcott|2016}}|group= n}} May's decision to appoint her was criticised by the [[Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom)|minister of state for justice]], [[Edward Faulks, Baron Faulks|Edward Faulks]], who resigned from the government, questioning whether Truss would "have the clout to be able to stand up to the Prime Minister when necessary, on behalf of the judges".{{Sfn|Gibb|2016}} Other Conservative members of Parliament criticised Truss's appointment owing to her lack of legal experience; in response, Truss's supporters accused one of the MPs, [[Bob Neill]], of "thinly veiled misogyny".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=131–132}}{{Sfn|Syal|2016}} |
|||
Before Truss's arrival, the budget of the [[Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Justice]]{{Emdash}}which is responsible for the administration of [[His Majesty's Prison Service|British prisons]]{{Emdash}}had been subjected to successive cuts under the coalition government. The cuts were blamed for the prisons' rising rates of violence owing to the consequential drop in prison officer numbers.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=132, 136–137}}{{Sfn|Travis|2016b}} Truss lobbied the [[chancellor of the Exchequer]], [[Philip Hammond]], for £104 million in order to hire an additional 2,500 officers, which Hammond reluctantly delivered.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=132, 135–139}}{{Sfn|Hughes|2016}}{{Sfn|Travis|2016a}} In November 2016, Truss was accused of failing to support the judiciary after three judges of the [[High Court of Justice|High Court]] were criticised by politicians and by the ''[[Daily Mail]]''{{Emdash}}which ran with the headline "[[Enemies of the People (headline)|Enemies of the People]]"{{Emdash}}for [[R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union|ruling against the government]] on whether [[Article 50]]—which would begin the process of leaving the EU—could be triggered without Parliament's approval.{{Sfn|Seldon|Newell|2020|pp=261 and 659}} A former lord chancellor, [[Charlie Falconer, Baron Falconer of Thoroton|Charlie Falconer]], suggested that, like her immediate predecessors, Truss lacked legal expertise and called for her to be dismissed as justice secretary as her perceived inadequate response "[signalled] to the judges that they have lost their constitutional protector".{{Sfn|Falconer|2016}} She denied that she had failed to defend them, writing:{{Blockquote|text=An independent judiciary is the cornerstone of the rule of law, vital to our constitution and freedoms.

=== Chief secretary to the Treasury (2017–2019) === |

In June, following the [[2017 UK general election|2017 general election]], May demoted Truss from justice secretary to [[Chief Secretary to the Treasury|chief secretary to the Treasury]], meaning she could attend cabinet meetings but was not a full member;{{Sfn|Anthony|2022}} Truss was enraged and called the demotion "incredibly unfair" and was, according to one of her friends, "seething for a good couple of days".{{Sfn|Seldon|Newell|2020|p=263}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=151–152}} Despite what Cole and Heale describe as her "knocked" confidence from the demotion, Truss soon began to contribute to the department, using it, according to a Treasury worker, "like her own personal think tank" by asking for research and advice on [[monetary policy]].{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=153–154, 156}} In her first few months there, she was largely left out of decision-making processes by Hammond, who was described by Kwarteng as "quite a closed, centrally controlling chancellor"; nevertheless, Truss and the chancellor were reported to have a good relationship.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=154–155}} Beginning in December 2017, she developed an enthusiasm for cultivating her presence on [[X (social media platform)|Twitter]] and [[Instagram]]; Truss began to plan ministerial visits around [[photo op]]s for her social media.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=156}}{{Sfn|Coates|2018}}{{Sfn|Truss|2018}} Some of her civil servants were reported as finding her tenure as chief secretary "exhausting", owing to her work schedule and asking them multiplication questions, a tactic she had first employed as an MP.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=72}}{{Sfn|Bush|2020}} Despite her governmental role, Truss remained relatively unknown by the public, with only seven per cent recognising her in March 2019.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=174}} |
|||
In June 2018 Truss gave a speech criticising rules and regulations which she said "just g[ot] in the way of consumers' choices and lifestyles", including the government's efforts to reduce alcohol consumption and unhealthy eating habits, and warned that raising taxes could see the Conservatives being "crushed" at the polls.{{Sfn|Craig|2018}} She also attacked colleagues who she said should realise "it's not [[Machismo|macho]] just to demand more money",{{Sfn|Elgot|Crerar|2018}} a jibe at the defence secretary [[Gavin Williamson]], who had mounted a largely unsuccessful campaign for an extra £20 billion for his department, including threatening to write "Liz Truss blocked your pay" to everybody in the British Armed Forces.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=168–170}}{{refn|Williamson had also requested a five per cent rise in troops' pay.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=169}}|group= n}} Truss's speech, which also mocked Michael Gove, was criticised by Hammond; [[Ed Vaizey]], an ally of Gove's; and Gove himself;{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=170–171}} a speech she gave in November similarly joked about Matt Hancock, the newly appointed home secretary, [[Sajid Javid]], and the health secretary, [[Jeremy Hunt]].{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=172}} Before May's resignation announcement on 24 May 2019, Truss had sought the opinion of her colleagues on whether she could credibly stand, and courted media attention.{{Sfn|Rayner|Maidment|2019}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=174–175}} As it became apparent she could not win, she ruled herself out the day after May announced her resignation and subsequently endorsed the former [[Foreign Secretary|foreign secretary]] [[Boris Johnson]], the first minister to do so.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=175}} |

After Johnson became prime minister, Truss was widely expected to be promoted because of her endorsement of his leadership campaign; it was thought she might have been appointed chancellor or [[Secretary of State for Business and Trade|business secretary]], but she was instead promoted to the position of [[Secretary of State for International Trade|secretary of state for international trade]] and [[president of the Board of Trade]].{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=178}} Following the resignation of [[Amber Rudd]], Truss was additionally appointed [[Minister for Women and Equalities|minister for women and equalities]] in September that year.{{Sfn|Grylls|Wright|2021}} Shortly after becoming international trade secretary, Truss embarked on international trips to the US, New Zealand, Australia and Japan.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=179}} Truss met with her American counterpart [[Robert Lighthizer]] on her first trip to the US, where she gave what Cole and Heale describe as an "incendiary" speech on a potential US{{Endash}}UK trade deal. In Australia she made unscripted comments on their free-trade negotiations with the UK; both events were to the dismay of Downing Street officials.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=180 and 185}} Truss continued to document her trips through social media.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=182}} |

In February 2020 [[2020 British cabinet reshuffle|a reshuffle]] took place following [[2019 United Kingdom general election|the general election]] which had been held in December.{{Sfn|Seldon|Newell|2023|p=496}} Truss feared that she would be dismissed after the comments she had made on her previous international trips, but Johnson decided to keep her in post following Javid's resignation as chancellor.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=193}} During her time at the [[Department for International Trade]], Truss became notorious for leaking information.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=197}}{{Sfn|Seldon|Newell|2023|p=494}} [[Dominic Cummings]], Johnson's chief adviser, later wrote that Truss was "the only minister I shouted at in Number 10" because of her "compulsive pathological leaking".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=197}} Truss's pursuit of a trade deal with the US concerned some in the [[National Farmers' Union of England and Wales|National Farmers' Union]] (NFU), which worried about an influx of lower-quality food products if passed; the NFU, along with ''The Mail on Sunday'', campaigned against such a deal in May.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|pp=195 and 204}}{{Sfn|Hill|2020}} The [[COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom|COVID-19 lockdowns]] eliminated international travel, and Truss instead attended virtual meetings.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=198}} |

By early 2021, Truss's attempted US trade deal was deemed futile.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=200}} Instead, she focussed on [[Accession of the United Kingdom to CPTPP|joining]] the [[Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership]], which necessitated [[Free trade agreements of the United Kingdom|free trade agreements]] with Australia,{{Sfn|Yorke|2020}} Japan{{Sfn|Parker|2020}}{{Sfn|"UK signs first major post-Brexit trade deal with Japan".

In September 2021, during a [[2021 British cabinet reshuffle|cabinet reshuffle]], Johnson promoted Truss from international trade secretary to secretary of state for foreign, Commonwealth and development affairs, replacing [[Dominic Raab]], who had been criticised for holidaying in [[Crete]] during the [[Fall of Kabul (2021)|Fall of Kabul]];{{Sfnm|1a1=Payne|1y=2022|1p=9|2a1=Cole|2a2=Heale|2y=2022|2pp=215 and 217}} the move was despite Johnson finding Truss "[[wikt:flaky|flaky]]", according to the historian [[Anthony Seldon]].{{Sfn|Seldon|Newell|2023|p=384}} Truss became the second woman to occupy the office and kept the post of equalities minister.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=217}} Her early actions as foreign secretary included negotiating at the [[United Nations General Assembly]] for the release of [[Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe]];{{Sfn|Cheeseman|2021}}{{refn|Truss succeeded in March 2022 and called the release of Zaghari-Ratcliffe and [[Anoosheh Ashoori]] the "most privileged moment" of her time in government.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=232}}|group=n}} meeting with her Japanese, Canadian and German counterparts; mounting an unsuccessful attempt to join the [[United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement]];{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=219}}{{Sfn|Blewett|2021}} and a visit to Estonia where—like [[Margaret Thatcher]] in [[West Germany]]—she was photographed in a tank, with the pictures generating both praise and mockery.{{Sfn|Swinford|2021}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=220}} |

In early 2022 Truss's attention was directed towards a [[Prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine|build-up of Russian troops]] near the [[Russia–Ukraine border]].{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=219}} Truss supported a plan which [[Declassification#United Kingdom|declassified]] a large amount of intelligence on Russia, releasing it to the public for the first time in order to weaken the Russian government in the event of an invasion.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=219}} On 10 February 2022, she met the Russian foreign minister [[Sergey Lavrov]] in Moscow, becoming the first British minister to go on a diplomatic trip there since the [[Poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal|2018 Salisbury poisonings]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Payne|1y=2022|1pp=83–84|2a1=Cole|2a2=Heale|2y=2022|2p=229}} The meeting was reportedly hard, with the two ministers having difficulty communicating with one another.{{Sfn|Philp|Parfitt|Waterfield|2022}}{{Sfn|Payne|2022|p=84}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=230}} Five days later, Truss stated that the world was on the "brink of war in Europe",{{Sfn|Grierson|2022b}} which transpired in the early hours of 24 February as [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russia invaded Ukraine]].{{Sfn|Payne|2022|p=71}} Before the invasion and during its immediate aftermath, Truss advocated for [[International sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine|sanctions on Russia]] and encouraged other [[G7]] leaders to impose them;{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=220}} in March 2022, she stated that the sanctions would end only in the event of a "full ceasefire and withdrawal".{{Sfn|"Ukraine war: Liz Truss says Russia sanctions should end only after withdrawal".

After initially defending the mini-budget, on 3 October Truss instructed Kwarteng to reverse the abolition of the 45 per cent income tax additional rate.{{Sfn|Eardley|2022}} She later reversed the cut in corporation tax and dismissed Kwarteng, replacing him with Jeremy Hunt on 14 October.{{Sfn|Payne|2022|p=267}} Hunt reversed many of the remaining policies announced in the mini-budget, leading to further instability;{{Sfn|Bogdanor|2022|p=570}}{{Sfn|Kutllovci|2022|pp=223–224}} because of Truss's perceived weakness, he was described by some Conservative MPs and newspapers as the {{lang|la|[[de facto]]}} prime minister.{{Sfn|Davies|2022}}{{Sfn|O'Grady|2022}} During this time, Truss became increasingly unpopular with the public, and contributed to a large fall in support for the Conservatives;{{Sfn|Worthy|2022|pp=720 and 722}}{{Sfn|Li|2023|p=3}} in October, she became the most unpopular prime minister in British history,{{Sfn|Middleton|2023|p=13}} with her personal approval rating recorded in one survey as nine per cent.{{Sfn|Turner|2022}} She was pilloried in national and international press as a [[Flip-flop (politics)|u-turner]],{{Sfn|"Newspaper headlines: Liz Truss 'faces new Tory rebellion' after tax cut U-turn".

Shortly before noon on 20 October, Truss's forty-fifth day in office, Brady held a meeting with Truss where she asked if she would be able to remain in office;{{Sfn|Bogdanor|2022|p=570}}{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=309}} his response was "I don't think so, Prime Minister".{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=309}} At 1:35 pm, Truss announced her resignation as the leader of the Conservative Party and as prime minister. She gave the following 89-second-long statement: |
|||
{{Blockquote|text=I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability. Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills. Putin's illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent. And our country has been held back by for too long by low economic growth. I was elected by the Conservative Party with a mandate to change this. We delivered on energy bills and on cutting National Insurance. And we set out a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit. I recognise though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party. This morning I met the chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady. We've agreed there will be a leadership election to be completed within the next week. This will ensure that we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country's economic stability and national security. I will remain as prime minister until a successor has been chosen. Thank you.{{Sfn|Cole|Heale|2022|p=310}}}} |
