Prime Minister Liz Truss was asked to form a government on September 6 by Queen Elizabeth II, who tragically passed away just two days later.
Following her victory over fellow Tory MP Rishi Sunak, Truss said she will focus on tackling Britain's energy crisis, struggling economy and the overburdened health service. One of the first things she did was to overturn the ban on fracking.
It’s a major U-turn on former government policy, with fracking being halted in the UK back in 2019. All operations were stopped amid opposition from green groups and local concerns over earth tremors.
