new cabinet later today. one of the most pressing issues she will face is how to deal with soaring energy bills. details are beginning to emerge of a plan that could see energy bills frozen at their current levels for 18 months. we ll hear from voters about what they want from the new prime minister. i feel like there needs to be somebody who is a little bit more honest, a bit more transparent and has a goal that is going to make the world a better place for this generation because, as a mother, i m really worried with the cost of living, with everything. good afternoon once again from downing street on the day a new prime minister is installed at number 10, succeeding borisjonhnson, who left office this morning. liz truss the new conservative leader elected yesterday saw her majesty the queen at balmoral castle in aberdeenshire earlier today and accepted the invitation to form a government. she s expected to give her first address as prime minister here in downing street
