criticized even in her majority, Prime Minister Liz Truss assures Parliament that she is “a fighter”

In the turmoil, Liz Truss clings. Under a heavy fire of attacks after having had to abandon her economic program, the British Prime Minister defended herself on Wednesday October 19 in Parliament, assuring that she was a “fighter, not someone who gives up”.

“I am prepared to face, I am ready to make the difficult decisions”, she said. Very combative, Liz Truss sought as much to defend her policy in the face of boos and calls for the resignation of the Labor opposition as to convince the Conservative ranks of her ability to stay in Downing Street.

Rejected by public opinion, challenged within her own majority, the conservative leader is already on probation six weeks after entering Downing Street. Released until then from her silence only to apologize on the BBC after the humiliating renunciation of the promised tax cuts, she faced a major test during the weekly meeting of questions in Parliament.

In September, an inflation rate at the highest in 40 years

As inflation hit a 40-year high of 10.1% in September, however, the Prime Minister wanted to quell rumors that she would not increase pensions as promised up to inflation.

“This government is prioritizing the most vulnerable while bringing economic stability and leading to the long-term growth desired by all”, had already wanted to reassure the new Minister of Finance Jeremy Hunt on Wednesday morning, reacting to the new peak in inflation. While the political situation still remains chaotic, this economic recovery seemed to reassure the markets and the International Monetary Fund, which welcomed the return to “fiscal discipline”as recession looms.
