Speaking to Thurrock Nub News Ms Doyle Price, who has known her new party leader for many years, and campaigned for her in the leadership election, said: "It is with very real pride that I welcomed news that Liz was to become our new Prime Minister.

Longstanding friends: Jackie Doyle-Price with Liz Truss in 1997.

 "She becomes Prime Minister at a time when the nation is anxious about the energy crisis and its impact on the cost of living.
