Because my friends, i know that we will deliver, we will deliver or we will deliver a great victory for the conservative party in 2024. Thank you. Just joining us, a britain since i was a party, has chosen foreign sexual as fast as the parties. New leader putting her in line to be confirmed as Prime Minister. She course beat her rival, richie sumac, who was the governments former treasury chief, and shes made a lot of promises, a lot of expectations from her. In the coming days and weeks. Lets go straight to our correspondent john hall, who is live in london, who has and watching the developments, avidly. So as expected, less truss has, has got the most number of votes. The yes, shes one perhaps not as resoundingly, as the opinion polls my to earlier suggested shes picked up 57 percent of eligible voters among conservative Party Members. Richie sumac, the former chancellor of the exchequer. 42 percent. But yes, this trust us as a trust senior seasoned political operative, shes served in 3 Previous Conservative Party cabinets, including most recently of course, under Boris Johnson, this foreign secretary, which of course she still leaves and to officially anointed Prime Minister after visiting the queen on tuesday. She remained unfailingly loyal to Boris Johnson. Throughout, throughout this leadership contest, she was magnanimous in her victory speech. There towards richie soon actually thanked her friend Boris Johnson thanked him for getting breaks. He done for standing up 2 cubes. He was as much shes, she said from kiev to carlisle. She promised that shed campaigned as a conservative and would govern as a conservative. She promised to cut taxes and grow the economy. She promised to deal with the Energy Crisis we will deliver, we will deliver, we will deliver said less trust. And crucially, she said, the conservative party would win the next election in 2024 offering, no hint, whatsoever. She plans to call an early snap generally election. Okay, well, well be back with you in just a moment. Lets find out a little more about this trust who will be the u. K. Next conservative leader who brandon reports on the political crib. Person, incoming Prime Minister, and what we can expect of her current retreat i trust is already a familiar face in downing street. Shes government minister for the past 10 years, serving under and our lasting 3 previous conservative leaders. But her ambition for the top job has always been apparent. And now after winning a bitter and bruising leadership contest, she must prove that she can justify that ambition. We are facing an unprecedented problem with ly, warren ukraine. Energy prices rising. Amazing in tray, a o, a climate change, the shift a path to the east is she actually convincing people that she is the person to deal with all of those massive issues. And i think that the jury is very much out on their trust. Politics have shifted over the years. Born to left wing parents as a child, miss trust was taken along to and to nuclear protests. By the age of 19 though she was a prominent student, member of the centrist liberal democrat party, addressing its 1994 National Conference and arguing passionately to abolish the monarchy. Because i believe like most liberal democrat in democracy, democracy with a capital d. 2 years later though, trusts had switched her allegiance to the conservative party in 2010, she was elected to parliament. And now shes regarded as a leading figure in the parties, right, wink . It means that this is somebody whos really got a political message that they havent just inherited. Theyre not just pirating because its what their parents told them to think they thought about and come to conclusions themselves. I respect that shes and did herself to Party Members by being comparative and hawkish on International Issues and unabashedly patriotic stationed on the ukrainian border. Comparisons with former Prime Minister, margaret thatcher, had been marked on social media, but seemed deliberately cultivated entrust meteor appearances. Questions persist about lives, trust his political judgment and her convictions ahead of the breakfast referendum she campaign for britain to remain in the european union. But when the u. K voted to leave, she suddenly became a store support of bracket. And ive been other examples from this some of the leadership contest, a major policy on Public Sector pay, for example, was announced confidently on a monday and then dumped swiftly by tuesday. The problem with lets try to have their massive ego huge vanity. Terrific ambition, terrific competence, but no record of any serious intellectual or policy commitment at all. Prime minister trust has convinced the conservative Party Members to give her the top job in government. Challenge now is whether she can convince the wider British Public to keep her pull brennan al jazeera downing street. Thats return now to jonah hall, her life for us in london, angina, a few books. Theres still need to be tick before she is confirmed. As the next Prime Minister took us through what we expecting next . Yes, well bear in mind, shes been appointed now the leader of the party. Shes one that vote among conservative Party Members that makes a leader of the conservative party doesnt make her Prime Minister yet on Tuesday Morning or is johnson will make a Farewell Speech outside downing street. Hell go off to see the queen at balmoral in scotland for the 1st time in history. Shes usually fucking a palace of course. And then this trust will see the queen. Shell be appointed Prime Minister and invited to form a cabinet. And that is when she will take up her position. Let me begin to discuss more about what we expect, what we know about list, trust mo. Hussein joins me now. Mo is currently with the Edelman Global advisory, but was at one time chief press officer in, down in, under david cameron, and indeed, working with this trust what she life. Well, yes, i was in various departments. Number 10, when she was administered, a range of departments and i think politically, she is very small. Somebody who has survived indifferent cabinets under 3 different Prime Ministers on a journey from voting remain campaigning for remains now being the flag bearer of brick c. I think that take some political cunning and simply to go wilderness. She has experienced the range of different departments. I think shes got bold as she has elevated to forward and secretary that relationship with the civil service. Its perhaps not as good as when she 1st starts and she will have to look at Going Forward. But i feel like its been part of her long term for a while and she managed to navigate her way. There were many others who failed. Shes close. Devoris johnson, shes been unfailingly loyal to Boris Johnson. She wasnt involved directly in the crew to unseat him. Shes been compared indeed somewhat devoris johnson, a figure of the right of the party. Sometimes accused of being a little bit booster ish like forest johnson. Is she the Boris Johnson, continuity canada, or can she her own road . Well, this is really the big difference. We campaign a company and i think when you come painting in the leadership, your audience is very small. 150000 people say that we know us to quite supportive up for a strong and she will have calculated that she needs to appeal to the people to get what she wants from them, which is the votes. Now the switch and youre appealing to the general public to a millions of people who lean conservative are not Party Members. She will have to appeal to them Going Forward if she wants to retain the majority and still be the Prime Minister of the next selection. So i think a lot of the things that shes been talking about the appeal to the right to the party that appeals to the membership, very deliberate, were not going to see actually happen because she will go and say, actually this gave the problem, the 7 men hadnt seen the figures now, i mean charge because prioritize 2 or 3 things in one or 2 next selections and people will be a bit disappointed. Well, i still forget that she is not the candidate in fact, who won the largest share of the votes among tory and peas. Rash soon acted that shes got a big job on her hands, trying to unite the party before we talk about the challenges she faces in the country at large. Do you think she will succeed at uniting this bruised and battered party . Will she give richie sou not nice job . Will he want a nice job . I think this is one of the Biggest Challenges that shes now facing. A big part of the job is 5 minutes. That is actually part. He Management Management team. You need to get your agenda to your legislation as you said, the majority of people in north and they still have, havent come out in support of her. So i think she will have a real tough job on her. And she will be trying to make some overtures to them. Im the calculation around using which job in the cabinet table all be but presenting the entire party. Yes, i know that if you dont you like me. Is it better to have them inside the 10 . So i can keep an eye on them, see what theyre doing while doesnt have an awkward score on the back bench if you potentially could cause me trouble. Weve seen that that has led to a downfall the previous 5 minutes. On the flip side as well. The current will no longer 5 minutes, a boy johnson, as he saw me until tomorrow, until he saw the h t t majority the dublin store, because on paper it sounds great. It looks great. But actually, how do you keep all these people loyal and enlighten you . Com for me, some more government jobs and knowing the job to go round for them. And i think she will feel the same thing, or many people who supported, he may be overlooked. And he could either be lots of people currently in the cabinet. It will need a job and lets remember theyve been fat by the, with some cases be they know with skeletons very, they know the thing she said and what she thought privately in those meetings, having them with the bag and shes also attentively appropriate. So lets talk about the problems that she faces in governing the country at large. Because this is a country in the grip now of multiple deep and serious crises, spiraling inflation expected a 20 percent by the end of the Energy Prices that could triple by january. Last year levels, Public Services in disarray with a summer of strikes and economy potentially probably in recession. What she going to do about katie can be very difficult time. Lots of people across the country. You havent had much detail from her in campaign mode. Its been a few mentioned here and there we will help to do whatever it takes quite vague statements, bit of a journey from starting off with no doubt what we see today that actually were expecting quite a comprehensive package not dissimilar to what we had from opposition park demand freezing energy bill. So i think she had team have been working behind the theme on quite the big intervention. But this itself will be a challenge as well for her because a lot to her natural support is on the way to depart the one to have a small estate. A small role for the government, less intervention is less active, is more traditionally conservative, which is what she has told them. She will do. So for her to then going to be in the markets in such a big way is going to be at odds with that flight the. And i think trying to get an advocate, lima tween the big state and help people expect and keeping his for that be going to be quite challenging. Were going to have to wrap up. But as you say, certain messages put out on the campaign trail, 260075 members. Perhaps different reality wants those promises make contact with the reality. She now faces smoke the same. Thank you so much for speaking to us. At least, trust has been confirmed now by a margin of 57 percent to 42 as the new leader of the conservative party here in great britain. On tuesday. After a visit to the queen, she will succeed forest johnson as the new Prime Minister back to you. Thank you for that update.
