    UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss joins race for PM

UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss announced her candidacy for the Prime Ministerial race following Boris Johnson’s forced resignation. Truss said, in a Sunday article for The Telegraph, that she is joining the race because she can “lead, deliver and make the tough decisions. I have a clear vision of where we need to be, and the experience and resolve to get us there," adding that will “fight the election as a Conservative and govern as a Conservative.” 

The candidate cited challenges that the UK is currently faced with and included but did not limit her discussion to, Russia, China, and the economic crisis. Truss argued that under her leadership, she would "start cutting taxes from day one to take immediate action to help people deal with the cost of living," adding that she would also reverse the increase made by her predecessor regarding National insurance.

The way I see it there is only one person who can unify our Party and deliver for the British public and that’s Liz Truss.

I know she has a plan for our economy and will deliver on the promise we made to our voters. pic.twitter.com/wgVtxqgzjw
