Nottinghamshire's political and business leaders have revealed their thoughts on Liz Truss as the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister. While the country's new Conservative leader and successor to Boris Johnson has stated her number on priority will be tackling the soaring costs of living, some in Nottinghamshire remain less than convinced.
For just over a month Conservative Party candidates have battled it out in an attempt to succeed Mr Johnson, who never quite managed to leave a long-lasting and sizeable mark on Nottinghamshire, and it is Mrs Truss who came out the victor. Ultimately she pipped former chancellor Rishi Sunak to the finish line, with Tory Party members having decided she will be the best bet on pushing the country out of record-breaking difficulties in the economy.
From soaring costs at the pumps to inflation reaching a record-high 10% people across the UK had been left in desperation for five long weeks while a new leader was chosen. This is the case for many in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, where deprivation remains a prevalent problem for thousands.
