Truss, who officially became leader Tuesday at an audience with head of state Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland after the resignation of Boris Johnson, is set to meet her top team at a morning meeting.
LONDON - Britain's new prime minister Liz Truss convenes her senior ministers for an inaugural cabinet meeting on Wednesday on her first full day in office, before she faces a barrage of questions in parliament.
The often rowdy weekly session, which sees the prime minister quizzed by MPs, will test Truss's political mettle and rhetorical skills as well as her level of Conservative support. Labour has opened up a double-digit lead in the polls but may have to wait two years for the next general election. Under her mooted plans to tackle the situation, gas and electricity bills for both households and businesses would be capped near current levels for the coming winter at least.
