LIVE VIDEO: PM Liz Truss Speaks On Death Of Queen

The Independent reports:

Little more than 48 hours after her arrival at 10 Downing Street, the death of the Queen has thrust Liz Truss into the heart of a momentous national event almost before she has had time to find her feet as prime minister.

Ms Truss has the task of representing the nation as it pays its respects to its longest-serving monarch, while offering reassurance of continuity and stability at this moment of change.

At the same time, her position as head of Her Majesty’s government – obtained so recently – will be thrust temporarily out of the spotlight as all eyes turn to the transition to a new head of state.
