Halloween has arrived today for Liz Truss
If Jeremy Hunt, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer of the UK, was supposed to officially present his budget plan at the end of October on Halloween, then today is Halloween for the Prime Minister. She is set to face ruthless questions in the House of Commons from members about the financial market situation and the dismissal of the previous Chancellor while members of her party are holding a formal meeting to review the rules regarding the dismissal of the Conservative Party leader. If such a day was already tough and exhausting, the announcement of official economic statistics and the return of inflation rates in the UK to over ten percent have added to Liz Truss’s difficulties. Food inflation has recorded astonishing figures, with milk alone having increased by fifty percent in just one year. The impact of the previous government’s budget announcement on the financial markets and the UK economy has drawn all eyes to her.
