the British government refuses to lower taxes for the richest

The British government has backtracked on tax cuts for the wealthy. Sunday October 2, at the high mass of the conservatives, in Birmingham (United Kingdom), there was however no question of giving up this reduction. Prime Minister Liz Truss committed with a firm and definitive “yes”. But his finance minister did an about-face on Monday, October 3. “We decided together to give up lowering the tax rate for the wealthiest”, said Kwasi Kwarteng. From now on, the malaise wins even the conservatives. Dissenting voices in the party are beginning to worry about the New Prime Minister’s ability to run the country.

For its part, Norway is strengthening security around its energy installations. Since Monday, October 3, the army has been deployed to protect Norwegian oil and gas sites. Last week, suspicious drones approached up to 50 meters from the facilities. The state does not want to reveal the number of soldiers involved. France could lend a hand to Norway.
