In fact, most British people have never experienced such a thing - yesterday Tras also said that he was a fighter fighter, so he resigned directly today. is probably because the degree of chaos in the British government, parliament and the Conservative Party has left no room for Tras, and she also realizes that she can no longer continue.
What is happening now is an unprecedented zz crisis in the UK in the past century. The most serious problem facing is actually whether the Conservative Party can be condensed around a new leader and whether the general election can be avoided.

In this regard, Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labor Party, is quit: calls for an immediate election! He made it clear that the Conservatives have made it clear that it no longer has the ability to manage the country well.
"After the 12-year failure of the Conservative Party, the British people deserve something better than this mess! The Conservative Party cannot cope with their irreparable defeat by reshuffling the high-level leaders without the consent of the British people!"

"They are no longer worthy of being trusted! We need a chance to start over!"
As for the general election, the next election will not be held until January 2025, but the motion for distrust of the Prime Minister proposed by the House of Commons can force the general election to be held in advance. To be passed, the motion only requires more than 50% of the members of parliament to vote for it. However, in order for the motion of distrust to be passed, Conservative MPs need to vote to overthrow their ruling party, so the possibility is relatively small

British Prime Minister Tras is about to embarrass himself and throw the earth
Major news pages around the world are publicly executed!
In the past few weeks, the whole world has been paying attention to the economic turmoil in the UK and the series of misfortunes brought to the UK by the new prime minister - the chaos caused by the tax cut plan by Liz Truss and the cancellation of the plan this week. Ye has become the world's major front-page news...
Anyway, Tras is about to embarrass himself and throw him out of the earth.

Even the United Kingdom's allies - US President Biden , also participated in it, breaking the conventional diplomatic norms.
Let's take a look at how some countries view the current situation in the UK:
Germany, for many people in Berlin, the large-scale realistic drama of London Westminster is regarded as the tragedy of the century, but this is also expected by many Germans - many Germans suspect that this is the inevitable result of Brexit .
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz even spoke out: Choosing Liz Truss as prime minister is a fatal choice made by the Conservative Party, and said that MPs are unbelievable to plan to replace the prime minister without holding a general election.
There was a time when some German officials clearly expressed their admiration for British zz, which seemed more reliable than the compromise-oriented and alliance-based German model, however. Few people hold this view.
Japan was once famous for its own speed of light to exchange for prime minister, so the current zz turmoil in the UK is not unfamiliar to many Japanese.
Some local Japanese media labeled Liz Truss as "fake Thatcher", saying that she was trying to bet on the UK national finances. Some people compared her approval rating with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio , saying that he still has some room for development.
In the financial market, traders have been paying close attention to the pound as the yen currency is also trading at a low level in 32 years.
The White House usually tries not to comment on the British government, but this time Biden still publicly expressed his own opinions.
Biden said: "I think the idea of tax cuts for super rich people at this time...I am just a personal opinion, I don't agree with this policy, but it is up to the UK to make this judgment, not me."
Although most Americans only focus on the zz of their own country, there are still many Americans who believe that the plummeting approval rating in the polls is a sign of a healthy democracy in the UK.
In India, news about the turmoil in Britain has hardly been on the front page - this shows that Delhi officials no longer value the UK as they used to. In the 75 years since India's independence, people have paid more and more attention to their economy and care less and less about the UK.
However, when former UK Home Minister Suella Braverman said Indians were the largest group with visa overdue, she sparked anger among a large group of Indians and speculated that her remarks could undermine the trade agreement between the UK and India.
The number of deaths from the UK's new crown has soared by 40% in one week
Data shows that the number of deaths related to the UK's new crown has increased by nearly 40% in one week, reaching the highest number since August.

According to the latest data from the Office for Statistics ONS of the UK, In the past week, about 400 registered deaths mentioned the new crown on the death certificate , a figure climbing 39% from 287 people a week ago.
Among these 400 deaths, 63.5% (254 deaths) had the basic cause of death, slightly higher than 63.1% (181 deaths) the previous week.

This is the most obvious signal that the current surge in infections has caused the number of deaths to rise - although the number has not reached the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak this summer (in the week ended July 29, the death toll reached 810, which is due to the increase in infections caused by the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron variants) - but this is far lower than the weekly death toll of nearly 8,500 in January 2021
Due to vaccination or repeated infections before, the level of COVID-19 antibodies in the human body is high, which means that the number of people suffering from serious illness or death has dropped significantly.In addition, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics last week showed that the COVID-19 infection rate across the UK continues to rise.

In the past week, there were about 1.5 million families in England, equivalent to one in every 35 people, and tested positive for the new crown. This is a big increase from the previous week's 1.1 million, that is, one in every 50 people.
Meanwhile, in Wales, an estimated 74,900 people are estimated, which is equivalent to one in every 40 testing positive, an increase from 63,400 or one in every 50 testing positive seven days ago.

In the same week, the infection rate across the UK soared by 33%, with a total of 1.7 million people testing positive. Recently, a total of 9,631 people were hospitalized for COVID-19, an increase of 37% from 7,024 a week ago. This number is the highest since August 3.

UK inflation rose to 2-digit
-10.1% hit a new high in 40 years

Recently, the UK officially released inflation-related data, Among them, the consumer price index increased by 10.1% in September compared with the same period last year...

Although the UK is struggling to cope with the rapid growth of food prices, high energy costs and zz instability, , inflation continues to keep its sharp rise and has returned to its fastest pace since 1982. official expects inflation to peak next month, however, the UK government's policy of lowering household energy costs has increased again due to the cancellation of the cancellation of future uncertainty.

html In September, food costs across the UK increased significantly, and the prices of hotels/restaurants also increased significantly. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that food prices rose by 14.5% last month compared with the same period last year, the largest annual growth in more than 40 years.
Of course, this is not only happening in the UK, but also a top priority that makes all countries around the world trouble. In the year to September, the consumer price index of euro zone rose a record 9.9%, while the consumer price index in the United States rose 8.2%, close to a 40-year high. This is encouraging central bank to take a bigger rate hike in an effort to send a firm signal that they will make inflation fall and will not allow prices to rise indefinitely.

In the UK, changing fiscal policies have also made the situation particularly complicated.
Just less than six weeks ago, British Prime Minister Liz Truss promised to freeze household energy bills directly in the next two winters starting in October, one of the biggest sources of inflation growth. This week, most of Tras' economic policies were abolished by Jeremy Hunt, the new British Finance Minister who tried to restore the calm of the financial markets, and the financial markets seemed to have no longer believed in any changes the British government made.

Now the British energy bill is guaranteed to be frozen until April next year. The UK government said: After that, a lower-cost and more targeted plan will be proposed to help people pay their energy bills.
Bank of England has been raising interest rates since December to cope with inflation. It raised interest rates by half a percentage point in the past two meetings, twice as much as before, as there are signs that inflationary pressures are expanding, especially in the labor market, wages are rising and a large number of people are out of work.
Image source BBC News
Although it is expected that central bank will continue to raise interest rates for several months, experts questioned how high interest rates can reach as the UK economy slows down and how long will interest rates continue... High inflation is squeezing household budgets, and more and more people predict that the economy will tighten significantly next year with a decline in consumer spending.
International Monetary Fund predicts that the UK economy will grow from 3.6% this year to 0.3% next year - Because high inflation reduces purchasing power, the tightening of monetary policy affects consumer spending and business investment.
