Foreign secretary’s first international trip could be to New York next week for UN meeting
Liz Truss, the most popular cabinet minister among Conservative voters, has been handed a significant promotion and become the first female Tory foreign secretary.
Described by supporters as “one of the only true capitalists left in the cabinet”, Truss was said to have raised private concerns about the national insurance rise unveiled by the prime minister last week, and this week she spoke in favour of “enterprise” instead of “statism”.
