London: As a child, Liz Truss marched in demonstrations against Conservative PM Margaret Thatcher. As an adult, she came to admire Britain's first female leader and now she is about to enter No. 10 Downing St. with a Thatcherite zeal to transform the United Kingdom.
Truss, 47, will become UK's third female PM, after Thatcher, who governed from 1979 to 1990, and Theresa May, who held office from 2016 to 2019. Conservative Party members have embraced Truss' vows to slash taxes and red tape and keep up Britain's staunch support for Ukraine. Some see echoes of the Iron Lady - as Thatcher was known in Truss' vision of a "network of liberty" binding democracies around the world.
To critics, Truss is an inflexible ideologue whose right-wing policies won't help Britain weather the economic turmoil set off by the pandemic, Brexit and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
