( Observer Network ) According to the British media Independent on the 11th local time, the British Foreign Secretary , who is currently competing for the leader of the Conservative Party, Liz Truss, made a statement from the N+1st time:
That night, when she attended the campaign forum in Cheltenham, England, she said that her location was Derbyshire , but in fact, this place belongs to Gloucestershire , and other Conservative members who attended the meeting seemed to have no response to this, which caused netizens to laugh at it.
reported that at the Conservative Party campaign forum held on the evening of the 11th, Tras was boasting about how she would help solve the current cost of living in the UK and formulate her tax cut plan. "What we should not do is take taxes from people and return the money to them in the form of benefits. Therefore, the first thing we should do is to reduce taxes."
But then talking about energy policy, the Independent said that Tras "seemed to have confused her county", and she said inexplicably: "We need to continue delivering the small modular nuclear reactor produced in Derbyshire. We also need to continue building the nuclear power plant ."
reported that the campaign forum was held in Cheltenham, England, which actually belongs to Gloucestershire.
At the same time, other Conservative members participating in the meeting did not respond to this mistake, and Tras continued to express his views and did not correct them.
However, this mistake has caused heated discussions on the Internet. Some British netizens are making fun of Trass and the Conservative Party. "On the energy crisis : As shown in the picture."
Many people are just used to it. "She is lost again", "Almost everything and every place she said is wrong"...
"How many times will the Conservative Party members notice it?"
Some netizens also recalled the previous behavior of Tras in Russia: "I remember her behavior in Russia. The expression on the Russian minister's face at that time said everything." This means that when Telas held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov during his visit to Russia in February this year, she mistakenly regarded Russia's Rostov Oblast and Voronezh Oblast as Ukrainian territory.
According to Russian media disclosure, Telas asked the Russian army to withdraw from the Russian-Ukrainian border at that time. Lavrov reminded the Russian army that it was within its own territory and asked back, "Do you recognize Russia's sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh?" As a result, Telas's answer was shocking, saying that "British never recognizes Russia's sovereignty over these two regions."
The British ambassador to Russia who were at the scene gritted his teeth and spoke out to save the scene, and quickly politely stated to Tras that the above two states are indeed Russian territory. After that talk, Lavrov bluntly said that he was very disappointed, "The exchange between the two sides is like a deaf and a mute. We want to listen carefully, but we can't hear anything."
Later, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova also raised old accounts in a response, ridiculing Tras for "not very educated", saying that she brought a "disastrous failed visit", which forced the British ambassador to go around the Moscow political circle to show goodwill to cover up the "epic embarrassment" in the history of British diplomacy.
Now, British Prime Minister election has entered the final showdown, the results of the fifth round of voting were released, former Chancellor Sunak and Tras were shortlisted for the last round of voting, and the two are conducting a six-week campaign.
According to statistics from British polling agency YouGov, as of August 3, Tras's approval rating has reached 69%, while Sunak's approval rating is only 31%. At the same time, about 39% of the grassroots people in the UK believe that the Conservative Party will win a majority in the next election under the leadership of Trass. For Sunak, that number is only 19%.
According to the rules of the British Conservative Party’s leadership election, about 160,000 Conservative members will hold a final vote on Trass and Sunak in the future. The result will be announced on September 5 that the current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hand over the keys to the Prime Minister’s Office.
