Summary: One of the candidates for England's new prime minister, Liz Truss,
faces many confrontations that could not be worse or more urgent. She is still
a frontrunner. This time there are many problems in England such as inflation
which makes food and fuel very expensive. And a solution must be found for
this and that lies in the hands of the new prime minister.

Letter to the editor of article 2;


There is a big difference between the articles because with the 1st article they
already know who the new prime minister is and with the 2nd article they don't
know yet. And that's why it's about many different things. That is how the 1st
article is also about Rishi Sunak, namely the one who at that time was leading
the way with Liz Truss. And in the 2nd article they don't know, but still they tell
almost only about Liz Truss. For example, in the 1st article, the other
candidates who had potential are also named in the article. It also talks about
the things Liz Truss has said about England's issues at the moment. But in the
2nd source a lot is also said about the problems in England at that time, such
as inflation. And high prices for food and gas how that's going to be a problem
for the new prime minister to solve. And that that is a difficult issue.
