U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss has hit a rocky opening few weeks in the role, with a new economic storm and plummeting poll numbers after an economic pivot.
U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss
Truss won the Tory leadership contest last month, replacing the resigning Boris Johnson as both party leader and prime minister. She stepped into the role just days before the death ofand as Brits across the country feared significant energy price hikes in part due to war in Ukraine. "People across the United Kingdom will have heard their energy bills could spiral as high as £6,000 and beyond. Families and businesses were set to be squeezed further by tax rises," she said in The Sun on Saturday."I know how hard it is and how worried people have been, so we had to act."
The storm has opened up a new political weak spot for the Tories which the left-wing Labour Party have used to attack what has been traditionally one of the Tories’ strongest issues — stewardship of the economy. Leader Keir Starmer, a centrist who has brought the party to the middle after the radical left-wing leadership of predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, tore into the government this week over the issue.
