Go to Media BankBritish Prime Minister Liz Truss. File photoMOSCOW, Oct 16British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who took office in early September, turned out to be an enchanting disaster for the country and, most likely, will go down in history, said Atlantic columnist Tom McTag. which cannot be compensated with money. «For three weeks now, the United Kingdom has been gripped by a crisis of crushing idiocy — a crisis, <…>, which affects the most valuable thing we have, namely the fundamental national identity,» the publicist said. He called Truss an absurd parody to the prime minister. The reason for this epithet was the head of government's refusal to promise to cut taxes and the dismissal of his closest ally.Media: British conservatives will discuss the future of Truss «Never before has the UK found itself in such a humiliatingly ridiculous position,» McTag was indignant. The author recalled that Truss promised to cut taxes and, in large part, because of this, won the election against Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, who opposed such a policy. Two and a half weeks after taking office, Truss announced tax cuts, after which the pound sterling collapsed, and the Bank of England began to raise its key rate. As a result, financial institutions began to raise interest rates on loans, which hit the middle class. Even the IMF criticized the prime minister for this, and her ratings broke all anti-records. The opposition Labor Party is now 30 percentage points ahead of the ruling party. «With just one stupid decision, Truss destroyed both her premiership and the reputation of her party, reviving Labor,» McTag was outraged. . She then announced a cabinet appeal, causing public concern about the risk of new austerity measures, and after that she fired the chancellor and abandoned several more components of her plan. 
Biden criticized the economic plan of the Truss government «It is rather difficult to come up with a more catastrophic scenario of political self-immolation,» the author added. He recalled that in the 1950s and 1970s, Britain constantly changed prime ministers, failing to fulfill promises to voters and achieve their goals. However, Truss called the collapse of authority incredible. The kingdom has gone through other crises when it had to turn to the US and the IMF for help, but now the situation is completely new, McTag said. “There is a very real prospect that the markets will achieve a change of prime minister even before the election,” he warned. that Truss could break the anti-record of George Canning, who died after only 119 days in office. According to McTag, Britain can repeat the path of Argentina, which plunged into chaos back in the 1990s. The kingdom has survived many crises, but with the advent of Truss, it has ceased to be a rich country with a skilled, high-quality leadership, which the whole world now knows about, he summed up. >»Her days are numbered»: Liz Truss was sentenced in Britain
