Finansminister foretrækker Lis Truss som ny formand for det konservative parti. Rival lover skattelettelser.

Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Nadhim Zahawi leaves the Houses of Parliament at the end of the last weekly Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) session of Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson on July 20, 2022. - To one last round of cheers from his recently mutinous MPs, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson bowed out of his final setpiece event in parliament, signing off by saying: "Hasta la vista, baby!" The House of Commons breaks for its summer recess on on July 21, and the new leader is set to be announced when it reconvenes on September 5. The final two candidates to become UK prime minister will be decided later on day, with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Penny Mordaunt battling it out to make an expected runoff against frontrunner Rishi Sunak.
