Liz Truss has pledged to "deliver" on the energy crisis, as Tory members chose her to succeed Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.
Ms Truss defeated rival Rishi Sunak with 81,326 votes to 60,399 and will move into Number 10 on Tuesday with the immediate challenge of easing the cost-of-living crisis for households. To rapturous applause from Conservative members, Ms Truss said she would "deliver" a bold plan to "cut taxes and grow our economy" and would provide support with spiralling energy bills.
She added: "I will deliver on the National Health Service, we all will deliver for all for our country and I will make sure that we use all the fantastic talents of the Conservative Party, our brilliant Members of Parliament and peers are fantastic councillors, our MSPs, all of our activists and members right across our country.
