UPDATE: Liz Truss becomes new UK leader, as Boris Johnson bids farewell

Liz Truss will become Britain’s new Prime Minister today after meeting with Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Truss, the foreign secretary for the past year, defeated rival Rishi Sunak on Monday in the race to become leader of the Conservative Party.

She will replace Boris Johnson, who was forced to resign after his scandal-ridden government lost the support of lawmakers.

In his final remarks as Prime Minister he said a new Prime Minister will meet a fantastic group of servants.
