Liz Truss becomes 3rd Woman PM of UK

Mary Elizabeth Truss has been appointed as the Prime Minister of the UK.

In the recently held election she defeated Rishi Sunak.
Truss had emerged as a contender for the prime ministerial role after her predecessor Boris Johnson agreed to step down.
The UK had two women Prime Ministers before Liz Truss:
- Margaret Thatcher was the UK's first ever woman Prime Minister (1979-1990).
- Theresa May was the UK PM from 2016-2019.
