Great Britain: Liz Truss promised swift action against the energy crisis and tax cuts

From Balmoral to Downing St gate, despite being delayed by the fog, to make his first programmatic statements to the British people. British Prime Minister Liz Truss, enthroned in office by Queen Elizabeth, prepares to form a government this Wednesday.

In his first statements he promised this to the British “Together we can weather the storm”. It wasn’t just a metaphor. She had stopped raining cats and dogs a few minutes earlier and was able to deliver the speech outside Downing St. Hundreds of British and foreign journalists were listening to her.

Dressed in dark blue, worried about flight delays, Truss spoke in front of the historic black door of Downing St, where he had already greeted his predecessor Boris Johnson, to whom he paid homage by calling him “huge and consistent prime minister”.

“As strong as the storm is, I know the British are stronger.” “I know we have what it takes to get Britain back on track,” Truss said after the rain.

The economy, key

He outlined three priorities: to grow the economy with the promise of tax cutstry to tackle the energy crisis and improve access to the SSN, the national health service, in crisis after COVID.

He promised that patients will receive appointments with doctors, when they can now wait months or years with specialists.

“I will cut taxes to reward hard work and encourage companies to generate growth and investment,” stressed the chief executive, who at the same time stressed his intention to ensure that that “people don’t get unpaid electricity billsand that invests in “hospitals, schools, roads and broadband internet connections”.

But it wasn’t a mandate inauguration speech. He lacked height, verbosity, passion and a sincere concern for those who will be severely affected by the sharp rise in the cost of living. It sounded like a routine campaign speech by a councilor and not someone who had just taken office and had a dream.

“We will turn Britain into an aspiring nation, with well-paid jobs, safe roads and where everyoneeverywhere, they have the opportunities they deserve. “I will take action today and every day to make this happen,” he said.

Although expected, the premier has not announced a plan he is analyzing: the freezing of energy tariffs, which he will probably specify on the day he will present it to the government this week.

with the queen

The “story” leader should fund that program against public debtinstead of raising taxes, in line with the priorities he defended during the Conservative primary.

The Queen welcomed Truss during an audience in Balmoral, Scotland, where she invited the newly elected leader of the Conservative Party to become Prime Minister and form a new government.

It was in the Drawing Room, with the famous painting of Queen Victoria, her horse and her friend John Brown, hanging on the wall. In cashmere sweater, kilt and holiday dresses, the ruler talked to her for more than 40 minutes.

The prime minister posed at the door of Downing St with her husband Hugh O’Leary and entered her home for the first time as premier. He will continue to work as an accountant. He will begin the hard work of taking back the country.
