Liz Truss fights to save premiership after tax U-turn and Chancellor sacking
Ойын-сауық
The Prime Minister faces what could be an uphill task to persuade financial markets, Tory MPs and voters that she has what it takes to succeed, just 38 days since she entered Downing Street.
Liz Truss has insisted she will stay on as PM to see through her "mission" to get the economy growing.

When will anyone step up and do the jobs right, is there anyone to truly help the UK bounce back to power, prosperity, real sovereignty, and true independence to deliver the UK out from all this mess.

Female narcissists who’s by aging suddenly discovers their abilities to swap maybes to men paying with protection face sudden frustrations. They get confused, like Truss. Truss only have the skills of pretending, and being chef of words salads, and slowly the reality creeps in on her while looking around: No one is capable of saving her. The party’s solution will be to peck her behind closed doors until she leaves. Latest within Tuesday next week. (Truss will remain clueless of what’s happened, the same way as she is clueless spouting words and acting isn’t leadership.)
The PM who has come into the power with aimless and false promises and with mesmarazing the simple and gentle members of the Conservative Party must be stepped down. She lost her for false promising to the general public as well as the Ld MPs to become the PM of UK and as such She demolished the glory of England.
