Liz Truss became Britain’s prime minister on Tuesday, after Boris Johnson tendered his resignation to the Queen at Balmoral, and Truss visited the monarch at her Scottish residence shortly afterwards for confirmation of her appointment. The new prime minister then returned to London, where she addressed the nation in a speech outside 10 Downing Street before putting the finishing touches to her first cabinet. The Guardian recaps the 30 hours that marked the beginning of the Truss era.
