Liz Truss appears to have ruled out an early general election - by claiming there will be a “great victory" for the Conservative Party in 2024 at the ballot box.
In her first speech as the Tories' new leader, Ms Truss also heaped praise on the outgoing prime minister Boris Johnson, for defeating Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 and delivering Brexit.
The foreign secretary's victory was secured by the tightest margin in Tory history since current rules - forcing a vote by members - were introduced in 1998 by the party's executive.
