Liz Truss: Appointed two blacks and one Indian to critical posts – The composition of the new government in Britain

THE Liz Truss she is its new prime minister Britain and he may not be trying to save Boris Johnson’s “legacy”, but he wants the Conservatives to regain their lost prestige. Thus, he appointed two blacks and one Indian woman to critical posts in government her, while she also gave ministries to political names that did not join her, in the last period of time.

The British media therefore emphasize it diversity in the new government, while emphasizing the fact that the new faces may not appeal to the entire spectrum of voters, but they have something in common that unites the Conservatives. They like Margaret Thatcher’s policies, believing that during her time Britain became a great power.

Here are some of the people who make up Liz Truss’ government, as the new names are still being announced:

Quasi Kwarteng

Kwasi Kwarteng has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Downing Street has announced this evening. Kwarteng, who shares Truss’ pre-election economic announcements, said the government can afford the cost of funding measures to support households and businesses while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

Kwarteng had served as business and energy minister since January 2021, and had also worked in the ministry in charge of Brexit.

Like Truss, he has expressed his admiration for Britain’s ‘Iron Lady’, Margaret Thatcher.

James Cleverly

James Cleverley has been chosen by Liz Truss to succeed her at the Foreign Office at a turbulent time in international politics.

For the 53-year-old Brexit campaigner, who hails from south-east London and whose mother is from Sierra Leone, this appointment as Britain’s foreign minister is a reward for his steadfast loyalty to Liz Truss during her campaign for Boris Johnson’s succession.

He takes office at a difficult time: in addition to the war in Ukraine and increasingly strained relations with China, he will have to manage the standoff with the European Union over the Northern Ireland Protocol after Brexit.

For the past two months she has been Education Secretary, following the wave of resignations that followed Boris Johnson’s departure from Number 10 Downing Street.

Therese Coffey

Ben Wallace

Liz Truss has reappointed Ben Wallace as Defense Secretary, Downing Street announced tonight.

Wallace, who has seen his popularity soar with his handling of the Ukraine war crisis, had been seen as the favorite to succeed Boris Johnson as the leader of the Conservative Party and as prime minister. However, he chose to retire and focus on his duties at Britain’s Ministry of Defence.
