British Prime Minister Tras has been in full moon. On October 5th local time, the Conservative Party's 3 Annual Meeting, which ended in Birmingham, was originally supposed to be the stage for Tras to celebrate his presidency, but it became a farce for her to save her personal political future.
22 Annual Meeting of the ruling Conservative Party of the UK, Tras, who was the finale, delivered a speech at the party congress for the first time. What tricks can she use to solve the dilemma and even the crisis facing this government has attracted much attention. However, analysts believe that the empty mention of 29 "growth" without any specific measures to be put into practice is Trass, the best footnote to the speech of the female prime minister who is determined to imitate Thatcher, on the day of the full moon in power.
The theme of Trass' speech was "Getting Britain Moving". In fact, it's not necessary for Trass to say that the UK has already started to move, and it has already started to move. The "moving" movement is really not small.

The UK has "moved"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 After Tras took office, the "three fires of new officials taking office" first burned to the domestic economy with high inflation. The “mini budget” announced by Chancellor Kwoten, which aims to boost the economy, caused disastrous consequences about two weeks ago. pound exchange rate fell sharply, almost equivalent to the US dollar; FTSE index plummeted, and at the same time led to a collective plunge in the entire European and American markets. Even IMF criticized the "lack of targeted" tax reform plan of the UK government, which may not only aggravate inequality in the UK, but also undermine international monetary policy.
Bank of England had to launch a bond purchase program with a scale of £65 billion to curb the government bond market crisis. In the face of doubts, Prime Minister Tras said in an interview with British media on September 29 that even if the central bank's intervention is needed, she insists that the British government's economic policies are "on the right path" and believes that people's vision should be "long-term development". Although the current situation is difficult and under great pressure, she does not intend to change her decision.
In addition, it was the ordinary British people who started to "move" a long time ago. As early as June this year, the cost of living soared due to the accelerated escalation of the European energy crisis and the harsh reality of high inflation forced British people from all walks of life to choose to take to the streets and call on the government to face the difficulties faced by the people. On October 1, when the energy bills were raised again, protests broke out in more than 50 towns in the UK, which was the largest strike in the country in the past 20 years.

Faced with such internal and external difficulties, the British government really "moves". Prime Minister Tras, who was originally unwavering in his own policies, changed his mind in just a few days - giving up the previously proposed plan to cancel the maximum income tax rate of 45%. Reuters unceremoniously described it as a "180-degree turn of shame."

"hard-mouthed" Tras "betrayed"?
On the evening of October 2, Tras was still defending the "mini budget", emphasizing that all disputes are just a "little stone" on the long-term development path of Britain. However, when he woke up, Tras failed to kick away or bypass the "little pebbles" and turned around and turned around.
On the morning of October 3, Tras posted on his personal social media saying, "We understand and hear it" and announced that "the plan of "canceling the maximum tax rate of 45%" will not continue to be implemented." Tras also said that the plan to cancel the highest tax rate has interfered with the mission to drive the UK forward.

This result has inspired opposition from all walks of life in the UK. The opposition Labor Party said that the government has destroyed its credit and completely lost the confidence of the people.The Conservative Party where Trass is located also questioned the feasibility of the government's future policies, believing that this "change of orders every day" makes "we look very incompetent."
Tras said that he would "never feel embarrassed" by making this 180-degree turn. But the taste of this is probably mixed in Trass's heart.
The "blame-blame duo" of British Prime Minister and Finance Minister
"Shameful Turn" cannot be Prime Minister Tras slapped himself in the face, someone must take the blame. After overturning the tax reform policy on the 3rd, Tras explained in an interview with Reuters during the Conservative Party meeting: The tax cut arrangements in the "mini budget" were not actually approved by the cabinet, and they did not even discuss with the cabinet at all. "This is the decision of the Chancellor of the Chancellor Kwoten." Reuters reported that Tras is trying to draw a line with her Chancellor of the Exchequer. On September 23, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwoten announced the "mini budget" plan in Parliament, Tlas sat calmly behind him.

. What’s more interesting is Kewoten, how can he take the blame by himself, and he has to pay it to others. The British Daily Star reported on the 5th that Kewoten said that Queen Elizabeth II's funeral disrupted his tax cut plan. I don't know what the British should think of such a funny statement.

At the beginning of his term, Tras said in an interview with the media that he was willing to commit to "things that may not be smooth" and "prepare for unwelcome." Unexpectedly, her preparations came in handy so quickly.

In his speech at the Conservative Party’s annual meeting on October 5, Trass’s statement was still criticized by people as “ painting cake ” because there are only promises throughout the article, no measures. No wonder more than 550,000 British people signed petitions on that day to demand that the general election be held in advance. The petition reads, "The chaos faced by the British government is unprecedented... Let the people decide who leads us out of the turmoil."
