Liz Truss is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from September to October 2022. The shortest-serving prime minister in the history of the United Kingdom, she has received attention for her political positions, most notably economics.

Truss is known for her economically liberal views and her support for free trade.[1] She supports the neoliberal philosophy of supply-side economics, often referred to derogatorily as "trickle-down economics".[2][3][4] She founded the Free Enterprise Group of Conservative MPs, a pro-free market collection of parliamentarians arguing for a more entrepreneurial economy and fewer employment laws.[5]
