Liz Truss will become the UK's third female prime minister after securing victory in the Tory leadership contest.
She defeated rival Rishi Sunak with 81,326 votes to 60,399 and will take over as prime minister on Tuesday with the immediate challenge of easing the cost-of-living crisis for households across the country faced with soaring energy bills.
Boris Johnson will depart Number 10 on Tuesday and Truss will fly to Balmoral in Scotland to meet the Queen for the formal handover of power.
She will then begin work putting together a response to the energy crisis, with support promised within days.
