( Observer Network ) Spending huge sums of money to help companies survive the winter and launching the "strongest" tax cut plan in 50 years has caused financial turmoil and then made a series of "180-degree policy turns"... British Prime Minister Trass, who has just been in office for 40 days, has created many messes and "reaped the fruits": polls have repeatedly hit lows, and there are voices in the Conservative Party calling on her to step down. On October 17, local time, Tras of the public opinion center missed the parliamentary inquiry.
When the opposition Labor Party questioned that Tras was "cowardly", the Conservative Lower House leader Penny Mordaunt, who questioned the scene, insisted that "the prime minister did not hide under the table" and that his absence was because he was "had to be plagued by emergency matters."

According to Reuters and the BBC, British Parliament html on the 217th on the issue of the economic policy of the Trass government and the appointment and removal of the Secretary of the Exchequer. But Tras himself missed all the inquiry sessions and only appeared when the meeting was about to end.
On October 14, Tras announced the dismissal of his staunch ally, British Chancellor Kwoten, and appointed former Foreign Minister and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt as Minister of Finance to "put out the fire." Earlier on the 17th, Hunter announced the withdrawal of almost all tax cuts in the Trass government's "mini budget" plan, including a reduction of a huge energy support program.
"It's time for leaders to play their leadership role, but where is the Prime Minister?" Opposition Labor Leader Keir Starmer took the lead in attacking.
Then, Labour Party MPs frequently asked questions about the appointment and removal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and questioned that Tras was "scared of her own shadow". Conservative lower house leader Modot answered relevant questions instead of Trass, who was absent, and said that Trass' absence was because he was "had to be plagued by emergency matters."
Among them, Labor MP Stella Creasy said that the Prime Minister’s work is to make a major decision.
She pointed out sharply: "Unless Tras explains otherwise, what we know now is that the Prime Minister is curled up under her desk and demands that all this disappear."
"Where is the Prime Minister? Did he hide under the table?"
"Uh, the Prime Minister is not hiding under the table." Before Mo Daote finished speaking, he immediately caused laughter from Labour MPs.
Modott added: "I can guarantee that unfortunately there is a good reason for Tras not to be on the scene."
But Modot did not specify what the "full reason" is.
"She didn't hide under the table"
Half an hour before the meeting ended, Trass herself came late and listened to the statement made by the new Chancellor of the Exchequer Hunter on economic issues. Tras did not speak throughout the whole process and left immediately after the meeting.

Currently, the Tras government, which has just been in office for 40 days, is in a deep ruling crisis.
The new official takes office for three fires. The Trass government, which has just come to power, has announced a number of economic policies in a row, including spending £40 billion to help companies survive the winter, launching the "strongest" tax cut plan for 50 years after the central bank raises interest rates, etc. However, these measures have caused huge controversy, which once led to turmoil in the financial market.
Then, Tras began to make emergency remedies, and then made a continuous "180-degree policy turn" policy and appointed a new secretary of the Chancellor. However, the British people are not buying it: the latest poll shows that Tras' approval rating has fallen below the lowest approval rating before former Prime Minister 1 Johnson 2 stepped down, and 53% of respondents believe that Tras should resign as British Prime Minister.
In addition, according to British media reports, even the Conservative Party where Tras is located has begun to discuss "how to remove Tras", and many Conservative MPs have publicly called on her to step down.
In an interview with the BBC on the 17th, Tras apologized for the "mistake" he made in the plan he proposed. But in the face of the "resignation call" from the people, the opposition and even the members of the party, she said she would not consider resigning and would continue to lead the Conservative Party to participate in the next general election.
