Quando você tem um batismo de fogo, a última coisa que você precisa fazer é jogar combustível em suas chamas. Mas foi exatamente isso que o primeiro-ministro e o chanceler fizeram na última sexta-feira com o chamado "Mini Orçamento". E ele explodiu em seus rostos. Como Keir Starmer disse que era uma “ferida autoinfligida”. a reversão do aumento do seguro nacional; and the postponement of the increase in Corporation Tax – instead he threw in the hand grenade of bankers bonuses and the abolition of the 45% tax rate for the highest earners, creating a high, wide, and handsome political open goal for the Labour Party, and causing panic in the markets.
The frustrating thing for the Conservative Party was that it was so easily avoidable. As Keir Starmer said it was a “self-inflicted wound”.
Kwasi Kwarteng only had to throw a few bouquets out to see a bounce in the governments poll ratings – the fuel price subsidy for businesses and consumers; the reversal of the National Insurance hike; and the postponement of the increase in Corporation Tax – instead he threw in the hand grenade of bankers bonuses and the abolition of the 45% tax rate for the highest earners, creating a high, wide, and handsome political open goal for the Labour Party, and causing panic in the markets.
As the pound plummeted, interest rates soared, and mortgage offers were withdrawn, Truss found her anticipated honeymoon turning into a Nightmare do qual ela não pode se recuperar. Como diz o velho ditado, leva anos para construir uma reputação, mas apenas um minuto para destruí -lo. A intervenção do FMI nos assuntos fiscais do UKS finalizou o governo trabalhista de Jim Callaghan no final da década de 1970. A quarta-feira negra encerrou a chancela da chance de Norman Lamont, mas depois ficou em torno do governo de John Major como um cheiro ruim pelo restante do Parlamento de 1992-97, concluindo com uma vitória de deslizamento de terra para Tony Blair. O acidente financeiro de 2008 foi atingido em Gordon Brown, e ele ficou brinde dois anos depois - apesar de ele ser creditado por ser o principal jogador em salvar a economia global.

Once you lose your credibility as an economically competent administration, it is hugely difficult to recover. As the old saying goes, it takes years to build a reputation, but only a minute to destroy it.
There are many precedents that suggest that this could be the end right at the beginning of the Truss era. The IMF intervention in the UKs fiscal affairs finished off Jim Callaghan’s Labour government in the late 1970s. Black Wednesday ended Norman Lamont’s chancellorship, but then hung around John Major’s government like a bad smell for the remainder of the 1992-97 parliament, concluding with a landslide victory for Tony Blair. The financial crash of 2008 was pinned on Gordon Brown, and he was toast two years later – despite him being credited with being the key player in saving the global economy.
Can the new PM buck the trend? Her round of interviews with estações de rádio locais não parece ter feito muito a reenergizar o apoio a ela, no país ou em seu partido parlamentar. Os fins de semana da mídia redondos e a cobertura de domingo de planilhas aumentarão a seus problemas, ou talvez ofereçam algum conforto à abordagem de "plano de crescimento" do governo. Eu não teria tanta certeza. Se eu fosse Liz Truss, estaria dormindo com um olho aberto em Birmingham na próxima semana. Downtown in Business
But, just weeks after winning the leadership of her party, Liz Truss faces her first conference since assuming the role with the very real prospect that this could be the last time she does so.
The Conservative Party wouldn’t do in another party leader, would they? I wouldn’t be so sure. If I were Liz Truss, I’d be sleeping with one eye open in Birmingham next week.
